The Shops at Target: the Curiosity Shoppe

By Dani

Does anyone think it's a little weird that Target has become one of the "it" places to shop? I mean, it wasn't that long ago when Target was basically Cleaner Wal-Mart. I appreciate the transition, but I tend to run over to Target for Wal-Mart-ish things like detergent and napkins and leave with a new dress in tow, all surprised at how classy they are these days.

Anyways. I digress.

My point is, Target is a pretty cool place to shop, and this new trend of having limited-edition designers and collections has made it even cooler. I missed out on the Missoni craziness because a) I'm not stylish and b) I hate crowds but, BUT - I will fight with some surburban home cooks over cute kitchen decor, y'all. Watch yoselves.

Enter the Curiosity Shoppe, and a totally good reason to go to Target even if you don't need toilet paper. Their stuff is funky and quirky and mostly unneccessary, but that's what makes it a fun splurge, right?

Check out the cuteness:

(a nod to Amarillo, Texas and Chris LeDoux. Yeehaw!)

(I just love their colors and patterns!)

I totally bought this cutting board for myself Sunday morning when I stopped in to Target "just to see." I love America, yo, and I couldn't help myself. Isn't it perfect for an MNF cheese plate?

If your Target has been mobbed by fellow classy kitchenistas, you might check out the Curiosity Shoppe online. They always have super cute things, and although the Target line is exclusive, I just love their style.

What do you think of the Shops at Target? Were you there when the doors opened, or are you "toothpaste and toilet paper only" Target-shopper?

I just bought an adorable Blue Whale mug from this line at Target. Because we have a local attraction here known as the Blue Whale. I'm a fan of most of the lines that Target brings in. They know what they're doing over there.
