For Tootsies At Target

Oh no they didn't! Do you see what I see? Target is knocking off our favorite preppy footwear, Bonannos! Gasp. I sincerely hope this doesn't impact the iconic staple we all adore so much. I don't normally get upset when Target comes out with a new knock off. I am usually thrilled, to be honest. Unless it is one of my brands. Yes, I consider Bonannos and Lilly to be mine. Or ours. So I am not thrilled about this situation. Or the collaboration (and yes, I realize a knock off and a collaboration are different) of Lilly Pulitzer and LeSportsac. I personally don't like LeSportsac and think it just mucks up the perfection that is Lilly. But that's just my two cents. (all photos taken on my phone with other customers standing next me, so please excuse the crappiness!)





I am however thrilled to see these cuties in Tar-jay. Bestie and I LOVE this brand so I know she will be thrilled to learn of them moving to the big T. And if Trumpette peeps are reading my blog (because I'm sure it's all the rage in corporate headquarters around the globe!), please please please make these driving mocs in my size. 8.5 womens. I would wear them in every color! But until then, they are always topping my list of baby/toddler gifts.








Also, I bought three Ralph Lauren short sleeve polo shirts in Target today. On sale for $11-16. Have y'all seen RL in Target before? I don't think it was RL for Target either. Pretty sure they were regular shirts. Though they ran very small, so I am thinking they were seconds? Whatever, I am now the proud owner of some new and el cheapo polos.

TOTALLY agree. Target often gets the "look" right with knock-offs, but quality isn't the same as the original.

Also, last year my Costco was selling Lilly dresses for young girls. I bought my daughter one of each style in her size. Good thing Costco isn't into Knocking-Off products. 'Twas the real deal.

I saw Tommy Hilfiger at Target last week! I think they were doing the trying to be like Sam's thing because the things hanging from the ceiling said something about warehouse. Weird though.

I agree, I don't like the idea of mock-Bonannos!

Bonanno/Jack Rogers knock-offs...those things are ugly and can't possibly be comfortable! YUCK!
