One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

A Holiday Gift: The Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection


There are certain fashion events that get me excited—New York’s Fashion Week, any visit to Century 21 and the collaboration between Target and Neiman Marcus. When I heard that Target and Neiman Marcus were collaborating I almost lost my mind.

One of the hallmarks of unique American style is to mix high end with low end. I love seeing women with diamond earrings a diamond encrusted watch, a fur vest and their favorite jeans. It’s so very rock star! I sometimes rock a similar look except I’m missing the dripping in diamonds part… J
 

The Target + Neiman Marcus Collection = Pure Genius

That’s why I thought that the Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection was pure genius. Neiman Marcus is the epitome of luxurious style and Target is the epitome of practical style. I love the Neiman Marcus Christmas book. However, I have never been able to fit the Aston Martin, diamond covered bra, or the bejeweled baubles into my budget.  For that reason, I was thrilled to shop the Neiman Marcus collection for Target this morning.

I actually put the event on my calendar. When I woke up this morning I was on a mission! I wasn’t able to get as many things as I wanted from the Missoni for Target collection last year and didn’t want to miss my opportunity again. I was nervous that I would miss out because I woke up late. However, I got lucky!

I am so grateful to Target and Neiman Marcus for bringing a little more style into this season at an affordable price. I scored several things this time—items from Lela Rose, Tory Burch and Jason Wu.  These are some of the best designers in the country and they will be under our Christmas tree. I am also giving some items to some lucky people in my life as gifts. 

You should check out the sale soon. I am certain that the items will sell out.

Happy shopping!!!
