Fab Find: Merona Structured Top

I first spied this Merona structured top on the clearance rack for $16.08 (regularly $22.99) at my local Target store, but alas, they didn't have my size. I then went back a week later and was able to find it in Navy and Orange Stripe, and if I find it in Kelp Green (shown here) I'll nab that one, too. Not quite a sweatshirt - and not quite a knit top - it's a bit fitted but not too tight. It also has a cute exposed zipper accent in the back. Unfortunately it seems to be sold out on Target.com, but check stores as now I've seen this top marked down further to 50% off (at just $11.48).

Nifty Gift: Pattern Play Adult Coloring Book

Perhaps you've already heard about the "adult coloring craze", and the fact that coloring books aren't just for kids anymore. Well the creative minds over at Brit + Co and Crayola have teamed up to create a new “aged up” coloring book, “Pattern Play,” made specifically for adults. With 78 pages illustrated by over 50 different artists, crowd-sourced from the Brit + Co artistic community and beyond, the coloring book promises to set minds at ease and get the creative juices flowing.

You can pick up a copy of “Pattern Play” at your local Target store or on Target.com for just $9.99. Pair it up with a set of colored pencils, and you have a fun gift for the budding artist in your life.

Viral Sensation with a Target Twist...

This story has been all over the internet (including Yahoo) so you may have already heard about a man's FB post on "almost cheating" on his wife going viral.

Entertainer Jason Hewlett wrote on his Facebook page that he was out shopping at Target for “manly things” when an attractive lady ahead of him in the queue caught his eye (as he shows in this pic).

Despite being happily married, Jason allowed himself a quick ogle - only to realize that the hot stuff up ahead was his wife. “I was taken aback by how amazingly beautiful she is once again,” he said. “I believe I see it often, but today, not knowing she was at the store, I saw her with new eyes and just couldn’t believe I get to be her fella. It made me blush.”

Jason and wife Tami Spenst Hewlett have been married for 14 years and have four children together. Jason ended his post saying: “She rarely looks at Facebook so she won’t see this post, she won’t realize she was kind of cheated on today. I thought I’d share with you all since I’m just a dweeby guy making my way through life, and at the same time sure there are those who have had the same experiences regarding their loved ones in one way or another, and these moments are perfect."

The Look for Less: Calvin Klein vs. Mossimo

The "althleisure wear" trend continues to be strong, with lines blurring between athletic gear and casual wear. And with so many brands jumping on this bandwagon, it's easy to find this look for less. Take the Asymmetrical Zip Jacket on the left, by Calvin Klein and available at Macy's (in a variety of colors) for $39.99 (on sale, regularly $78). It's cute, but you can get a super similar look with the Leisure Jacket by Mossimo (shown on the right, at Target) for just $21 (on sale from $29.99, in Black, Gray and Olive).

Nifty Gift: Wine + Dollar Aisle Bottle Bags

Target currently has these fun cable knit sweater bags (as shown) that would be perfect to pair with a nice bottle of wine as a holiday hostess gift. Besides this design, I've also seen these in a black knit with matching faux-fur trim. Best of all, they're just $3 each in the Dollar Aisle.
