Rodarte for Target
Think Coco Chanel meets Urban Outfitters and you’ll have Rodarte, the latest Go International line for Target. Designing sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy’s 55-piece collection is heavy on sequins, bows, lace, and faux fur, making it dramatic enough for holiday dressing yet refined enough for day. Layer patterns and textures for a modern effect. Available through January 31 at most Target stores and at Target.com.

I was just at the Shops at West End yesterday (doing a little shopping at the new Anthropologie...I think it's my mission to visit as many of those as possible) and saw the new Creative Kidstuff - it definitely brought me back to my childhood. :)
Bluebird has another location? I'll have to check that out.
Thanks for all of your detective work into Twin Cities' shopping!
