Liberty Flower Power

Liberty for Target Print Scarf

Did you know...they're going, going, gone now? Yes, the Liberty of London limited edition scarves have sold out online in both the USA and the UK. And this week, the remaining Liberty scarves and accessories went on clearance in the stores.

Since I am a Liberty fan I have been watching the stock at all my local Targets since Liberty hit their shelves in mid March. In my opinion, the Target Liberty frenzy got off to a rather slow start. It seems that only true-blue Liberty fans rushed out to grab some of Liberty's flower power at Target during those first few weeks.

Liberty's on Clearance Now

Initially, I was pretty excited to grab some Liberty "flower power" style at Target prices. I stocked up on some pretty fab stuff. Then rather quickly my Liberty "buzz" wore off. I loved the designs of all the Liberty for Target range but just wasn't jazzed about the quality of the goods.

So...I opted to keep several scarves, a Poppy tote bag and a mod dress (ooh, can't wait to wear it to tea in London!) from the Liberty for Target range. Now I have Liberty style and it didn't break the bank!

Liberty Flower Power
Now that the Target campaign is winding down, Liberty of London is launching a Flower Power campaign in London with a season of floral fun! Liberty is celebrating London's Carnaby Street's

50th Anniversary with a special range of products and events around the store...all with fab 1960's style!

Poppy & Daisy Liberty Scarf

So check out this pretty floral scarf available in the new Liberty Flower Power range. The scarf above by Prova for Liberty only has a price tag of $310 UK pounds. Yep, you red that right! Suddenly my Target Liberty scarf at $14.99 doesn't' look so bad! Perhaps I should run back out to Target and grab a few more!

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Make Lemon Bars!

My Lemon Bars are always a hit!

My secret...The Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten's Lemon Bars recipe!

My tip is to make them the day or night before your event. Cool them and chill in the refrigerator overnight. Serve them cool or at room temperature the next day. I like to garnish my serving dish with fresh herbs.

Trust me...this recipe is a keeper! Thank you Ina!

Get the London Look!

Twiggy London

I've always loved the "London Look"!

It was 1966 when Twiggy first burst on to the fashion scene. She's back again! This time she's making a splash with her Twiggy London exclusive fashion line for HSN.

By far my favorite item in her fashion line up is her Patent Union Tote. It features a Union Jack flag in snake-embossed striping. The Union Tote comes in five fabulous colors and even includes a cute little cosmetics bag, too.

Now which color to choose....the classice Navy/Red or the mod Hot Pink/Orange one?

First Dibs on Liberty of London for Target!

My Favorite Liberty of London Finds!
I feel pretty lucky that I've had "first dibs" on some of Target's new Liberty of London range. I went back out to more Target stores today to see what I could find.

Judging by how quickly the Liberty merchandise is flying off the shelves...it seems that Americans have "a thing" for Liberty's hip 1960's floral patterns used in this Target collaboration. Even the Target Liberty of London Pop-Up Store in New York City closed a day early because all the merchandise sold-out!

I did have a chance to see a quite few products out in the stores today. Sadly the displays do not do the Liberty name justice. Oh well, maybe things will get spiffed up before the official launch tomorrow.

So Here's a Look at More Liberty of London!

Liberty of London Wellies

Love these! Check out these adorable wellies (rain boots).
They are available in children and adult sizes at $24.99.

Liberty for Men
There's even Liberty for the "Prints Charming" in your life!

Liberty Home Decor

You can even decorate your home with Liberty prints!

Liberty Flip Flops

How cute are these flip flops?

Liberty of London Sundresses

On the racks today in stores I saw Liberty sundresses, bikinis, one piece bathing suits, nighties, bras and panties, too.

Liberty of London Stationery

I was pleased today that I found Liberty stationery

for sweet little notes to my faraway friends!

Liberty of London

For the Office
There are lots of fun stationery and home storage items, too. Perfect to keep you organized in Liberty style!

I'm anxious to head out again tomorrow with fingers crossed that the Liberty launch will officially be in the stores with all the merchandise.

See you in the aisles!

Liberty for Target Sneak Peak!

Liberty of London for Target

The Liberty of London for Target launch is just 48 hours away. I was tipped off by my friend Jodi in Seattle (who loves everything British like me) that Liberty of London products are already "popping up" in Target Stores. Brilliant!

So...guess where I went today? Yep, Target. I actually drove to three Target stores today. Two out of the three stores did have a trinkling of Liberty of London products out.

Here's your sneak peak:

Liberty Print Hats & Wallets

Liberty China

Liberty Garden Ware

I loved the styling of all the Liberty of London products. Sadly, I knew the quality would not be of the same standard as the Liberty store in London. None the less, at Target prices it is fun to grab some Liberty style.

I went home to today with an armful of adorable Liberty print scarves and a book bag to use for my knitting. What Liberty products will be going home with you?

Liberty of London is coming Stateside!

Classic Liberty of London Scarf

I love shopping at London's Regent Street landmark department store, Liberty of London! Turns out now I don't have to "hop" on a plane to get my "fix" for Liberty prints! Liberty for Target is arriving Stateside next week!

Yep, you read that right! There will be another British invasion at Target on Sunday, March 14, 2010. This time Target has partnered with Britain's beloved Liberty of London. Since 1875 Liberty of London has been synonymous with British style and fabulous fabric prints.

Liberty Sixty Teapot
$12.99 at Target

Liberty for Target's smashing collection will feature exclusive spring prints in clothing, home ware, accessories, picnic ware and garden equipment. Of course, it won't be the same high street quality as the products on Regent Street but who really cares at Target prices!

Oh, be sure to check out the fab floral Liberty of London Ladies Cruiser . Buy it and you can pedal around town showing your love for Liberty's fab floral prints!

Liberty for Target

Have you seen the adorable Liberty for Target commercial? It will surely get you in the mood for spring!

I'm planning to be the first customer in the door at my Target to get first "dibs" on some lovely Liberty items. After all, I was the first customer in my Target for the Anya Hindmarch British invasion. Sadly though not ,too, many Americans knew about Britain's Anya Hindmarch handbags. I wonder if there will be more excitement for Britain's Liberty brand?

I'd love to know...will you be dashing off to Target for Liberty of London?
