sunday morning

truthfully, i'm not much of a sleeper inner when it comes to the weekend. got up at 7 or so this morning, this time in eager anticipation; the jovovich-hawk collection opened at target today, and as much as i've always laughed at all those people you see lined up outside the nike store late at night, i couldn't help but identify this time. as far as my personal style is concerned, milla jovovich is my spirit animal!

nathan judas and i arrived at the holiday inn to pick up our zipcar at 9am, and there was this beautiful view that bade us farewell on the top parking deck. goodbye san francisco, hello east bay. we got to target just before ten and already the jovovich-hawk racks were picked over. i grabbed a basket and promptly filled it up. whenever i read about women fighting over clothing at a sale or whatever, i am always disgusted-- especially when i feel like that kind of behavior is being encouraged by the author. but you should have seen me. i have no idea what size i am in target world, so i grabbed multiple sizes of the same piece, leaving few leftovers in my wake. once at the fitting room, i had to pick six items to try on at a time and was massively distrustful of whether the rest of my finds would be well guarded by the attendant.

i left target realizing that no matter how highly i might have thought of myself, i could no longer deny that i am a fashion junkie. i can say i can stop when i want to, it's just that i don't want to.

so i am now the proud owner of a mini jh collection of three dresses and two adorable blouses. the feeling of satisfaction has yet to wane, and i've already picked out which pieces i'll be wearing out tonight (back to the east bay for a warriors game). ever reluctant about the quality of target items from higher profile designers, i am pleased that jovovich-hawk seems to have turned out a decently constructed collection at a low price point and i have included detail shots of some of my scores below.


lots of sweet pleats and fine lace trim--- my fave detail are the dove shaped buttons!


nice floral pattern and the fabric doesn't feel like gross polyester.

p.s. auctions are already popping up on ebay, some for double the retail price!! all of this stuff is still available on target's website. i pity the fool....
