			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Two whole days have past since the  Liberty of London collection hit <a title="Target" href="http://www.extrabux.com/stores/target" target="_blank">Target</a> shelves. Do you  know what that means? It’s nearly all gone. (Yes, already.) I told you  that such a juicy collaboration would be pillaged quickly.  But don&#8217;t worry, there is still plenty of pillaging to be had.</p>
<p>Of course, I marked the launch on my trusty calendar. (Not that I  needed to be reminded. I’ve yammered so much about the line that even my  mister knew that Liberty  of London was coming to town on Sunday.) And, while I had seen some  previews and even shared a sneak peek of the line <a title="Liberty of London" href="http://www.extrabux.com/blog/2010/02/liberty-of-london-for-target/" target="_blank">here</a>, I must say that  I was a little overwhelmed when I saw the actual Liberty of London  collection.</p>
<p><img class="s3-img" src="http://extrabux-images-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/liberty-of-london-home.jpg" border="0" alt="liberty-of-london-home.jpg" width="500" height="520" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not typically a greedy person. But when I spied all of the home décor, pretty dresses and accessories, office supplies and gardening goodies, I wanted it <em>all</em> (even though I have an aversion to potting soil and the like). Unfortunately, logic got the best of me.</p>
<p>Rather than cleaning out the contents of my wallet, I simply bought one of collection’s kiss lock wallets instead—well, that and a few other things. A girl has to indulge sometimes. More on my personal Liberty of London scores later.  For now, let’s talk home décor, shall we?</p>
<p><strong>Happy Homewares</strong><br />
In our <a title="Liberty of London" href="http://www.extrabux.com/blog/2010/02/liberty-of-london-for-target/" target="_blank">pre-launch looksy</a>, we got a glimpse of but a few teacups, a teapot and kitchen goodies of a similar ilk. As I’m sure you’ve gathered from the lovelies in the image above, there is much more to be had. Here is the thing: I’m a sucker for punchy shots of color and feminine prints in my home. I purposefully keep the walls, furniture and other big-ticket items in neutral tones to allow for frequent color bursts elsewhere.</p>
<p>So, it makes sense that I&#8217;m tempted to grab the entire collection and spread it throughout my home. However, I’m also aware that doing so would be overkill (and would result in the defection of my mister, who has to put his foot down to ensure that our place retains some masculine influence). If this wasn’t an issue, you can rest assured that I would stockpile all of the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Dunclare      Pink Dinner Plate</li>
<li>Small      Maynard Canister</li>
<li>Lampshade      in Dunclare Black</li>
<li>Liberty Print      Rectangle Pillow</li>
<li>Peacock      Print Toss Pillow</li>
<li>Floral      Print Chair</li>
</ol>
<p><img class="s3-img" src="http://extrabux-images-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/liberty-of-london-clothes.jpg" border="0" alt="liberty-of-london-clothes.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Liberty</strong><strong> Fashion</strong><br />
From’70s-inspired vintage jumpsuits to frilly dresses, coquettish sleepwear and swimsuits, there are enough finds in this collection to take you all the way through summer. Confession: As someone who spends a good portion of the day working from my home office—where the dress code is admittedly pajama friendly thanks to a complete absence of coworkers—I’m tempted to conduct business in that sweet yellow romper.</p>
<ol>
<li>Yellow      Floral Romper</li>
<li>Keyhole      Jumpsuit in Dunclare Black</li>
<li>One-Piece      Swimsuit in Turquoise Isis Print</li>
<li>One-Shoulder      Ruffle Maxi Dress in Pink Garla</li>
</ol>
<p><img class="s3-img" src="http://extrabux-images-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/liberty-of-london-bags.jpg" border="0" alt="liberty-of-london-bags.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Spring Style in the Bag</strong><br />
Remember my aforementioned pocketbook purchase? I snagged the blue floral beauty in the upper right. It’s such a happy little wallet—even though I’ve already stuffed it to the gills with my unwieldy collection of credit cards, coupons and business cards. Pick up one of these accessories, and it’s impossible <em>not </em>to get a little rush of glee when you grab it on your way out the door.</p>
<ol>
<li>Coated      Shopper in Garla Red</li>
<li>Kiss      Lock Wallet in Jennifer Flowers Blue</li>
<li>Kiss      Lock Wallet in Poppy Pink</li>
<li>Floppy      Hat in Dunclare Black</li>
<li>Zip      Around Wallet in Susanna Green</li>
</ol>
<p><img class="s3-img" src="http://extrabux-images-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/liberty-of-london-men.jpg" border="0" alt="liberty-of-london-men.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Let’s Hear it for the Boys</strong><br />
My Liberty of London purchases were already making their way to my doorstep when my mister needed to make an in-store stop at Target. I wandered the aisles alone to see what Liberty wares were left (not many), grappling with the desire to allow myself just ­<em>one­</em> more indulgence, when my mister found me with an unexpected find in hand. He too couldn’t resist the lure of the Liberty of London print. He chose the silk tie on the far right with the little yellow and gray cars. What can I say? He’s a man after my own Liberty-loving heart.</p>
<ol>
<li>Navy      Floral Shirt</li>
<li>Blue      Floral Shirt</li>
<li>Multi      Floral Shirt</li>
<li>Mauverina      Blue Silk Tie</li>
<li>Darnley      Pink Silk Tie</li>
<li>Martha      Grace Dark Blue Silk Tie</li>
<li>Garla      Red Silk Tie</li>
<li>Cars      Cream Silk Tie</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="s3-img" src="http://extrabux-images-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/liberty-of-london-target1.jpg" border="0" alt="liberty-of-london-target1.jpg" />Some people will wait outside of sporting venues or department stores for hours—days even—to nab tickets to the big game or to grab the hottest Wii this or that. Me? I’ll show up outside of Target long before the automated doors slide open on March 14 to grab home items (supermarket sweep style) from the new Liberty of London for <a title="Target" href="http://www.extrabux.com/stores/target" target="_blank">Target</a> line.</p>
<p>Or even better, I think I’ll avoid the whole waking up early and getting dressed portion of the event and just click to my heart’s content as I troll the online store. I’m much less likely to throw some ‘bows as I grab for teapots that way.</p>
<p>Not familiar with Liberty of London? Well, Liberty is a 134-year-old British brand revered for its super-detailed prints, which exude a lavish, ’60s-style charm. While Target’s collaborations with big-name designers and labels are certainly nothing new, it’s the broad reach of this line that has tasteful tongues wagging.</p>
<p><img class="s3-img" src="http://extrabux-images-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/liberty-of-london-target4.jpg" border="0" alt="liberty-of-london-target4.jpg" />You see, Liberty of London has joined with Target to offer everything from looks for fashionistas big and small to kitchen wares, garden goodies, stationary and even a bicycle or two for good measure. And the entire array of products is stamped with Liberty of London’s bold, colorful prints.</p>
<p>So, it follows that Liberty’s bedding, throw pillows, coffee cups and such are a simple and oh-so-cheery way to start adorning your home with bits of springtime goodness. (Sure, I don’t need a second teapot or another two-level serving tray. But I do <em>need</em> the ones in the photo above, you know?)</p>
<p>As someone who is perpetually in the market for light, fun, retro-inspired home décor, another springy dress and a cruiser bike that reflects my taste in all of the aforementioned, this Liberty of London collab will transform Target into my shopping Mecca. Not that Target needed much of a boost in that department—did you <em>see</em> the Orla Kiely and Jean Paul Gaultier collaborations? Dreamy.</p>
<p><img class="s3-img" src="http://extrabux-images-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/liberty-of-london-target3.jpg" border="0" alt="liberty-of-london-target3.jpg" />Right now, Target is featuring but a few tasty morsels from the line on its <a title="Liberty of London for Target" href="http://www.target.com/b/?node=2241595011&amp;ref=sr_shorturl_liberty" target="_blank">website</a>. But if you watch the Liberty of London promo video on the site (repeatedly and with frequent pausing and rewinding sessions, as I did), you’ll catch glimpses of storage canisters, a lampshade, purses, watering cans and an umbrella. While you’re there, download a free desktop wallpaper or iPhone background to kick-start your Liberty of London binge.</p>
<p>Sounds fabulous, right? Mark your calendars for Liberty’s March 14 arrival. If the Orla Kiely collaboration taught us anything, it’s that products from the juiciest of Target partnerships are pillaged quickly and without concern for those of us who are a little late to the party.</p>
