Target ♥ Canada

y American friends to the south are probably thinking that this is lame, but I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Target to Canada. I would have gone to the soft opening in March, but having a baby at home makes it hard to just get up and go somewhere… especially if that involves large crowds. I practically begged my husband if we can go to Target this past Saturday. He thinks Target is the same as Walmart so he thought I was crazy, but we ended up going anyway. Honestly, I would have preferred going on my own because I didn't even get a chance to look at everything that I wanted to. I had a baby strapped on me (in my Baby Bjorn) and my husband wanted to go get lunch. Lesson to be learned here- don't go shopping with your husband and 2 young kids!

A quick selfie in the car. I'm finally wearing my Rayban wrap arounds that I got a looong
time ago. I probably only wore it 3X because the frames were touching my cheeks and
it kept falling down. I got it adjusted at the place I buy my sunglasses so now it fits comfortably :-)

My husband and my son. It was such a beautiful day that day so they just wore sweaters.

Now onto some of the cool things I found at Target:

I love these vases. I think they would look great in my dining room on top of my dining
room credenza.

Pretty wooden vases.

I found a few things that reminded me of Anthropologie home goods. This being one of them.
These are large jars with chalkboard labels. 

Bowls that also reminded me of Anthropologie wares. The outside of the bowl was matte
while the insides were glazed.

Pretty melamine plates.
These were super cheap too and came in a variety of patterns.

Melamine bowls. So pretty!

I'm in love with that octagon mirror. You can hang it vertically or horizontally (shown here).
I think this would look great in my spare bedroom in the basement. 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to buy anything that day because I was so rushed, but I'm planning on going tomorrow with my younger sister. I'm going to be going sans family so I'll actually take my time browsing. I'm also going to a bigger location where they have a shoe department so I'm going to check out their shoes and clothes. I'm so excited that I can't contain my excitement. If you guys have any suggestions on anything I should check out at Target let me know!
