As I mentioned in this post, I joined the Missoni for Target craze and managed to grab a few things online. Well, my order finally arrived, and I’m pretty happy with the few things I’ve decided to keep.
First up is this flip-top box.
It’s nice to have more decorative storage spots, and I love the blues paired with the armoire. I wish the zig-zags on the lid matched-up with the base, but for $15, I’ll get over it.
Next is the ceramic vase. You’ve probably seen this a few times as a lot of people picked it up, too. I’m surprised at how substantial this vase feels, and love the shape, pattern and black/white combo.
Lastly, the oblong throw pillow. I wanted to mix up the shapes and sizes of my couch pillows, and this one seems to fit in pretty well. It doesn’t scream “Missoni for Target!!!” to me, or rather MISSONI FOR TARGET!!!, it just looks like a really high-end pillow. It still wears the tag though, since I’m not completely sold on it yet.
You may notice the new black and white throw on the back of the sofa! Thanks to Carmel, I ran to Ikea and grabbed one right after she posted about hers! I love the extra pattern and texture it adds, and it pairs perfectly with the black accents in the room, like the Gold Lined Lampshades and the Black Mantel.
Rita Return took back the zig-zag string bikini, iphone case and stemless wine glasses (since I made my own!) I know the Missoni craze has died down, but did you keep what you managed to get? Can you see this room starting to come together?!
Looks like it's coming together nicely. Love the pillow and the trow on the couch. Nice touch. Darn, Rita Return, I thought you'd model that string bikini for us. Too late now!
Love the new items!! Great missioni finds too! I was one of the unlucky ones who could not get on targets website and when I did manage to run by my target later in the day, every single thing I would have wanted was gone!!
Love the room updates!
I think the vase is my favourite piece! Thanks for sharing your finds!
Perfect choices. They're just the right amount without screaming you bought them at Target. I missed the whole thing. š
Your room is looking very high design!! I love all the new additions!!
All the items you chose look fantastic in the room!!
Yes, the room is really coming together! Love the new accessories – they do look more high end for sure. I vote to keep the pillow! And LOVE the new Ikea throw. It all looks so classy!!
Great new pieces – the room looks wonderful!
Love your choices! I just bought the same IKEA throw… it's perfect for protecting my white sofa arm from chocolaty faces.
You totally scored! I only got the rainboots, which I love. All the homegoods were far gone by the time I ordered online. Boo. The room really is coming together! It looks great!
I love what you got and everything looks great in there! Target doesn't ship to Dubai but I did manage to snag a tote on eBay when the prices were still low. Hopefully it arrives soon. š
btw: loving your gold lampshades dahling!
Cassie you made all the right choices, they don't look as if they came from Tarjay!! Not that would be a bad thing, but they look more custom with how you have applied them to your room. Now I am off to look at Ikea for that throw, I need a couple for my backyard for the cooler nights, Love stripes!! Kathysue
Ack! I love the throw on the back of your sofa! So gorgeous dahling! I have the same vase too. I agree it's quite substantial. Love your new additions and the room is looking fantastic!!!
Love that vase! I took everything back! All that marketing sucked me right in and after I had it home, I was sorta…eh! Crazy, I know!
I really like the vase. I've returned all my Missoni (and there was a lot of it) except for some hair pins and a frame. I still have the ballet flats too but they are falling apart so the lady at Target said I could bring those back too.
I'm new to your blog via the cute little "Jar Mummies" that I saw somewhere on Pinterest, & I'm now a new follower. I'm just getting acquainted with your blog, but love those pops of color you've added with the Target purchases.

LOVE what you kept, girly…yeah, I think after the craze died down, everyone felt like returning a little bit of their splurges…*ahem*…(c: But that pillow is so absolutely perfect, it makes my design loving heart all a-flutter (c:
Love the new additions especially the pillow! Would you believe I returned pretty much everything I bought- I was with you it screamed Missoni for Target and I was over it! I kept the ballet flats but I am still debating on them. BTW love the painted lamp shades!
I love what you kept – things I haven't seen. I actually physically went to Target that morning but the crowd beat me to it. lol There was nothing left (with the exception of boots and little girls' accessories). I think the pieces you've kept look beautiful in your already gorgeous room! š
Thanks for taking the last throw from IKEA! I wanted one! Oh well. I'll wait until next week when I go to Round Rock. They have plenty in stock.
Speaking of Missoni returns, I need to return my super cute black heels bc they won't stay on even after I went down a half size. Urgh! I love the pillow you got.
I love that the box brings in more of the blue and ties everything together. The room is really coming together!

Love the Missoni loot, love the gold lamps behind the couch and I love the yellow Anthropologie pillows! Your place is looking gooooood!!
I am DYING over that throw! SO pretty..it was the first thing I noticed!!
I bought some of the baby clothes for my niece and some hair pins for myself. I am loving the vase!
