Missoni for Target - Who Snagged Some?

I am sure many of your heard about the overwhelming response to the Missoni line for Target.  Things were flying off the shelves and over the web (I *heard* their servers crashed, and I can believe it).

See the full collection here

There have been quite a few designers who have created discount lines for Target (and many that are more in line with my own style preferences - see below) but Missoni is high end, the line is huge (400 items!) and the launch got exposure through television and magazine ads.  So, enter Missoni mania.
Does this look like my style?

I did not even try to go to Target or get online during the launch. A few days later I hit my local Target to see the empty racks and shelves.  There were one pair of XXL Missoni shorts hanging alone on a rack -- a very sad sight.  There was, however, a table with a few pairs of the black suede pumps.  BINGO!  The only thing I really coveted in the line.  And, under a few boxes which included sizes 5 and 11s, there was my size.

So, I  got my piece of the Missoni action.  I really love them too.  Very comfortable and the chunky heel is on trend for Fall.

Did you snag something from the Missoni for Target line?  Please share in the comments below.

  1. You were pretty lucky to snag those shoes, I tried them on and thought they were cute.

    I went on the day of the release before work and although there were a good number of ladies trolling through the store looking for Missoni (some with full carts), I managed to score some items including: zig-zag skirt, umbrella, socks/tights, a pair of flats, a throw, hand towels and a serving tray. There was only one throw left and that was the must-have piece for me. I'm so glad I didn't have to deal with the madness of some stores and the website.
