The secret is out! If you can believe it, this amazing adventure started with a simple critique on Twitter, to Target Canada. Something along the lines of...“More empty shelves at @TargetCanada, I have faith that you will figure this out soon #hopeful”. Target loved that I had faith in them and took this as a challenge to make me their VIP Mom and show me and so many others that they are working hard to get their inventory right, in Canada! They are determined to listen to customers (what an novel concept, right?) and create an environment where there is something for everyone!
In order to give me the best store experience, so that I can see all that Target has to offer, later this afternoon, my bestie Kathryn (@dogpaddling) and I will be picked up and taken shopping!
Our Stylists for today (yes, we have stylists!) are none other than Jen Coleman and Laura Wiertzema from Target Does it Again. They have a HUGE following of over 347,000 on Instagram and have dedicated their blog and Tumblr to showing us that Target truly does have everything! Can you believe that THESE women will be helping to get US dressed? Follow our adventures and help by voting on our outfits #TargetStyle!
IT GETS BETTER……It doesn’t end with a fabulous shopping experience, where I hope to learn how to wear an infinity scarf! On Tuesday afternoon, Kathryn and I will be checking into the Ritz-Carlton and enjoying hair and makeup for the Target Runway Show that evening. Before the show, we will also be backstage posting photos to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to give you all a look at what’s in store at Target’s this season!
I can’t do this without sharing some of this awesomeness with you and YOUR bestie….so,
Hosted by actor and host Lauren Collins (session one) and Cityline host Tracy Moore (sessions two and three) guests will enjoy a special Spring/Summer 2015 highlights fashion show featuring top Canadian designers, followed by a trends presentation with style expert Afiya Francisco, Maybelline’s Grace Lee and Redken’s Cindy Duplantis.
Attendees will also be able to shop the designer pop-up market, experience the Fashion Environment, participate in hair and makeup installations, sample VIP-style food and drinks and much more.

Target has been a fav of mine since I was young (cross-border shopping!), so I’m happy they’re listening to their customers in order to make the shopping experience better. I’ll be at the Target runway show…can’t wait to see you there!!

But I’m not giving up on them and I’m sure they will make a great comeback and make the shopping experience second to none!
