Missoni + Target....1 more day!

I know this blog is a bit Missoni crazy lately, but it has paid off. The Target Missoni range goes on sale tomorrow and below is what is on my wishlist. Anyway, the bonus of all my Missoni-harping-on has not gone unnoticed by the other half, who *amazingly* is actually behind my acquisition of some Target Missoni items. (Can't decide of he's most pleased about the fact that they are about 1/10th normal Missoni prices, or that happy preggers wife = very happy life. I'm not questioning it it either way.)

Travel bags. I can almost justify it as being for the little guys stuff to travel back to NZ in?

Cushion. Can't have too many of these to fluff about the house.

Rugs. Preferably would like both.

Espresso cups. Can pretend these are for the boy, who loves his morning espresso.

Stationery + Missoni = love, I tell you.

Kindle case. An essential.

Throw. Again, you can't have too many throws now can you?

Funky towels.

NYC sofa finds

Here's one of my finds from NYC - the environment furniture store. Oh gawd, I want to move into the shop. Seriously I was walking around with my mouth wide open, (like I always tell Mum off for doing), just drinking in the goodness, trying to burn the images of the beautiful furniture onto my brain.

And to top it off, all the materials used are either reclaimed, recycled or repurposed.

This is the couch I want...

But then, danger, danger, we wandered along to ABC Carpet & Home. Six floors of homewares. And these were some of the gorg couches on display in there. I was drooling by this point.

I tell you, Carl is in so much trouble when we get home.

(Did I mention that I somehow got him in a weak point earlier this year, when he agreed we could get a new couch when we get back home? Not sure what the worst part of this promise is for him - the spending money part, or the having to follow me around furniture stores while I ask him his opinion about whether he likes this sofa or that one better? Let's just say I do like to be well-researched.)

New side plate set.

So, even though Carl and I both baulked at the price of shipping stuff back to NZ, and Carl declared a moratorium on buying things "that we can ship home" (which I politely ignored), I really want a set of six of different side plates from Anthropologie to take home with us. Call it a souvenir?

They're just so beautiful - I perve at them every time I'm in the shop.

However, my next hurdle after convincing Carl we need these (I'm going the souvenir angle), is convincing him I'll be "totally fine" with a cheap-y plain white dinner set to go with them.
