The Webster Shop at Target

Fashion & Beauty, Shopping & Deals, , , , ,

If you’re dreading the weather this week, you can at least take solace in some retail therapy, courtesy of the people at Target that fell in love with The Webster Miami and decided to give it a permanent home in their shops – making it reasonably affordable for the rest of us to indulge in the carefully curated style that is the polished and fashion-forward Webster.

With prices ranging from $7.99 to $49.99, the Target shop captures the spirit of the Miami boutique at a fraction of the cost – sans the big designer labels, of course. The Webster at Target collection hits stores and Target.com May 6, 2012, along with items for kids, baby, women’s shoes and select styles in plus and petite being exclusive to Target.com.

Wanderlust: Buenos Aires

Travel & Miami, , , , ,

I was digging through my pictures when I came across these shots from my trip to Buenos Aires earlier this year. A friend and I were assigned to a job that gave us the chance to take in the sights and visit an antiques festival where we wandered around in the glorious January summer sun and drank cold cheap beer while checking out the treasures in this quaint little market.

I remember marveling at the choice of artwork on display and the brightly colored murals covering the walls of so many old buildings. We wandered around all day, searching for trinkets to bring home. I finally scored an antique soda fountain dispenser in a delicate shade of pale green glass and a Superman comic in Spanish, dated 1961, for my husband, both totaling less than $20 USD.

It was my first trip to South America, which makes it that much more nostalgic to have come across this little set of images (most were taken with my iPhone). Looking at these takes me back to the sights, smells, and tastes of this vivid city. Thought I’d share my wanderlust with you. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
