Target + Stella McCartney

Wow Stella McCartney has designed a 42 piece collection for Target Australia.

It goes on sale March 12. And the whole collection will be able to be viewed online from March 5 on the Designers for Target website.

I think a trip to Australia is in order.....to visit family of course. I mean I totally wouldn't fly thousands of miles to go to Target.

Or would I?

I might have to put in an order to my BBE.

I wondered whether Australian Target had embraced the designer line approach and it seems they have. Erin told me that the stuff sells out really quickly and then horrible people try to sell it on ebay for lots more money.

In other news, I've been trying to think up five weird things about me. I've been tagged by Helen and the DivaKnitter, but I wasn't going to do it because I've kinda done it before so that'll be a total of 10 weird things about me. That'll make me weirder than most people.

1. As a kid I was never really an animal person (I know, I know), but now with my two sweet pigs I find myself chatting to them and cuddling them all the time. Daz and I couldn't imagine what our lives would be like without them. Is that weird...or normal?

2. Not so much now, but I'm unusually into sports. It was a bonding thing with my father. I really get into the excitement of the moment. I've been to numerous State of Origin games. I saw the Harlem Globetrotters live. I was obsessed with Italian league soccer, 500cc motorbike racing and F1 racing in my last two years of high school. I would stay up until all hours watching those cars race around the track. It might have had something to do with No. 5 in my previous list.

3. I hate wasabi. This is probably not that weird. I got burned when I was a high school exchange student in Japan and my first host mother made a sandwich for my lunch everyday and she'd secretly smothered that horrible green stuff on to the ham. I would either give those sandwiches away or thrown them in the bin. Sorry, host mother number one.

4. I have a mild online shopping addiction. I've been really good this month. I don't think I would buy as much if I lived in the western world....or would I? I even told Darin last night that one of the pros of possibly moving to the US in the future is that I would be able to buy whatever I wanted online (no more international shipping!!) One can dream.

5. I'm 32 and don't have my driver's license.

Wow, that was actually easier than I thought it would be. Please don't tag me with this one anymore because then everyone'll know just how weird I really am??!!!!

OH and for you knitters out there - you can now preview Rowan mag 41 for Spring and Summer - from first glances there isn't a love that I MUST have (this is good news - save more money).

But even cuter is the book And so to Bed by Lucinda Guy - CUTE!!

Oh, I love the Harlem Globetrotters too! My parents took us to see them when I was little and I thought we were so lucky. But otherwise, I'm not such a sports fan. I go to little league baseball games to socialize and eat.

well, if you're 32 and don't have your drivers license, then you should consider moving to a big city in the US.. you know, someplace like NYC ;) (i'm an enabler. i know it.)

oooh, thanks so much for the target-designers and the rowan links! much fun.

like you, I have an online shopping "habit" ... if you move to anywhere that has a storefront, it is dangerous -- buy online, have it shipped free, return it in person if it doesn't work. It's like crack. I promise.
(though it would be great fun if you ended up anywhere close to the east coast someday!)

I have never been able to get my hands on designer stuff at Target :( But if they sell it online...
I have my driver's license (although I flirted with the guy who was giving me the driving test, it seemed to help). But I hate driving! Luckily, I never have an occasion to drive in NYC!

Hearing that you don't have a license either makes me feel a little less weird.

Of all the weird things here, I'm most distressed that Target has extended its reach to Australia.

Ha ha - I read the Stella McCartney article too! I will actually be at the end of Golden Plains (the new, other Meredith music festival) on launch day and am already wondering if we can leave earlier so I can grab *something* in my size before everything's gone. That cashmere cardie is pretty hot.

I'm nearly 39 and don't have my driver's license!

thanks for playing Kat! I know its a bit much to ask almost strangers to share oddities about themselves! I don't think anything is that weird except for the wasabi thing for someone living in Japan! Although it is horrible when you get a noseful of wasabi fumes. Also love the So to bed book. someone brought it to a knitting gathering and I wanted to make everything. Actually I wanted someone to make everything for me. enough rambling.

Wow, cute blog! your cupcakes caught my eye - see a lot of muffins but not cupcakes here in Osaka.

I have an online shopping addiction too. Better than therapy?
