Target has a special place in my heart. It has some great fashion pieces every now and then and I always love going into the store. I think the thing that I really enjoy about Target though is its complete difference to Wal-Mart. Target has spent time to make your time in their stores enjoyable. They've spent the money on advertising, store arrangement, appearance, etc. Whereas Wal-Mart definitely has not. This has left Target with a feeling of upscale and expensive even when it isn't necessarily the case. I know that I (and I've noticed that my parents) put off Wal-Mart trips like we're avoiding the plague. We might drag ourselves to the store, but that's after putting it off as long as possible. If we were planning to go to Target we might not wait as long. Getting into the store is over half the battle. After consumers are in a store, we're bound to leave with at least one to two more things than we original went in to get. Target continues to have a special place in my heart because of their partnership with original boutique shoppes across the country (last summer) and a different designer each season for their clothes.
This holiday season is no different. Neiman Marcus has paired up with Target to bring the designs of twenty-some odd designers to the masses. I've picked out some of my favorites. A few of these items are already sold out and they are only available for a limited time only. (There are no specific time tables available online, except that all items must be returned by January 5.)
