Italy Recommendations

So sorry I've been MIA. Works been absolutely nuts and in the meantime I'm trying to get everything ready for our trip. Unfortunately, I'm out of town for work from Sunday through Wednesday and then we leave Thursday...not enough time to plan so I need your help. Please send me any recommendations for our trip. We are spending four nights on the Amalfi Coast, three nights in Rome and two nights in Venice. Feel free to leave me a comment or send me an email christinasfavoritethings@gmail.com. Thanks!

Need your help...

I'm heading to Italy in two weeks and I'm on the hunt for a cute bag/purse that will store my SLR camera and a few other items - lip gloss, travel book, small wallet, etc. Please send me any recommendations you have!

Missoni for Target - Clothing

I know I've been super late in posting my Target for Missoni finds but things have been so chaotic lately. Thankfully Hubby and I have a weekend at home (first one in a month) and I plan on catching up on a lot of things - blog posts, reading, cleaning, laundry and rest. In the meantime, here are the dresses I bought. I plan on posting the home stuff later this week. Let me know what you think.

Maxi dress which will be PERFECT for our upcoming Italy trip!

Wasn't sure about this dress but it's growing on me. I need to find a pair of mustard colored flats to complete the look.

Perfect shift dress and will definitely be worn during multiple seasons.

Target Tuesday - Missoni for Target

Today's Target Tuesday post is all about Missoni for Target! I randomly ended up at Target this morning at 8am. A co-worker drove me to work and told me she was stopping on her way in. I was of course excited since I wanted to check out the Missoni stuff. Little did I know so would everyone else. Here was the line at 7:50am this morning and there were double the number of people behind me.

I ended up getting three dress, fabulous throw pillow and matching bowl and vase. I will definitely post pictures later this week. I'm hoping to get a few office supplies as well but who knows if anything will be left. What did you get from the collection?

Thrifty Thursday - More talk of Ebates

I know I'm constantly posting about Ebates but I can't help it because it's so worth it! I thought I would share my last Ebates cash back check - $165.13! For those of you new to this blog, this is by far the easiest way to earn FREE money by shopping online. All you have to do is go to Ebates, log in, search for the store you plan on shopping at, click the link and voila you are taken there and all you have to do is shop! Each store has a corresponding percentage of cash back. And the money just adds up. Every quarter Ebates will send you a check and all you have to do is cash it. My next Ebates check will be for over $100! If you haven't already signed up, I definitely recommend that you do. You get $5 just for signing up! Click here to start getting free money!

Jeans Clean Out

I went through my two drawers of jeans and did a big clean out. Check them out on ebay along with some other end of summer and fall items. There are a pair of Citizen, Seven and Paper Denim along with a bunch of Banana Republic and J.Crew stuff. So far so good with following my rule of one new item in my closet then one item out of my closet.

I spent my weekend hanging with these cuties...

I have a pretty cute niece and nephew. It was an exhausting weekend but I loved every minute with them. My nephew is at such a fun age and says the cutest things. The one morning we were hanging out and he says to me, "Aunt Christina your hair is wild and crazy." Yes I was having a wild curly hair morning. :)
