missoni for target

i did not wake up in time for missoni for target.  i did not even attempt to go later in the day since i heard horror stories of people grabbing everything and racking up purchases in the thousands.  

i figured it was just not meant to be, and drooled over other people's purchases.  then my cousin sent me a glorious text message which told me to stop by her house for an early birthday present.  my cousin gives great gift, but i was not expecting to see this amazing spread:

my early birthday gift includes everything from the chevron striped tote and rainboots (i really wanted a pair of these!), 4 black/white cereal bowls (which are now displayed on my dining table, and not in my cupboard), a silky soft tee, adorable swim top (to pair with a brown bottom), and headbands.

tomorrow's forecast calls for rain in los angeles, and i could not be more excited! i think i'm going to introduce my new rainboots to some puddles.
