Ootd: Kindred Greens

All of the greens today, on me, the fence, the grass...one big happy family.  Here are two of my purchases from being down in Los Angeles, worn at the same time of course!  Why prolong the wearing, may as well get straight to it.
 Hello Kindred Spirit sweater dress, you were all alone in the Del Amo store, you really wanted to come home with me...
 What is this? You fan out? I didn't know that, thanks Mr. Wind.

And the other item, one of my better finds this trip.  Target leather Kaiala boots.  Knock-offs of Fryes, but for $19.98 (go clearance!) I am happy.  Fryes are awesome, but I think for real leather boots, that are comfy, these work just as well.

drive by posting: Right on Target

What is this fellow Canadians?  Target is finally heading north?  Indeed it seems to be.  Target has recently made a plan to convert the majority of Zellers, if not all (plus a few Walmarts) into Target locations by 2014 (see more details here)  While I might feel a bit of regret for Zellers to be closing, with them being one of Canada's long-standing department stores, I think Target will have no problem securing a good piece of the market.  Price-point wise the two stores are on par, so that shouldn't be a problem, and I have found the selections at Target to be a bit more appealing.  What do you think about this news?

drive by posting: Vancouver Anthropologie Update

Still away visiting family, but I got a lovely message from my friend Allysun, informing me that the new Vancouver Anthropologie store looks to be opening in Spring 2011, in South Granville!  Exact address says to be 2921 Granville Street.  Source came from here.  If this is the location, I think it will be in a great area.  South Granville has a lot of nice little boutiques and larger, but not common for Vancouver box stores, and makes a great destination for walking and shopping.  I have heard rumors of Park Royale, which was just a bit too far away for my liking (but pocketbook would be happy!), but this area makes much more sense to me.  It would fit the store well I think, a little upscale, but still...down to earth?
