I did it!

Yay! It's 1:30 am on February 5, launch day of the Jason Wu collection at Target and I got everything I wanted (and then some, woops!)

I learned a valuable lesson for future Target/Designer collaborations...

1. Like Target Style on Facebook.
https://www.facebook.com/TargetStyle#!/TargetStyle

2. Follow Target Style on Twitter.
https://twitter.com/#!/TargetStyle

3. Sometime before launch day, create your account on Target.com.
http://www.target.com

4. Beginning at midnight on the morning of the launch, open in Google Chrome three tabs: Target Style's Facebook page, Twitter page and the Target website (make sure you sign into the website).

5. Twitter and Facebook were instrumental in posting the links to each piece as it became available online so each time a new one popped up, I clicked on it to see if it was what I wanted.

6. As soon as you place a piece in your cart, check out immediately! If you do not, it will likely disappear. This happened to me twice and I lost out on a skirt and a dress that I really wanted but since I gained a couple of pieces I did not plan to purchase, it was totally fine.

Helpful hint: If you have a Target Red Card, you automatically get free shipping but if you do not, shipping is free for any purchase totalling $50.00 pre-tax.

I feel successful and can go to bed happy because I am not a morning person and now I get to sleep in while the rest will either be lined up tomorrow in the early morning or will miss out on some great pieces because they didn't make it in time!

Sweet dreams....mine will be filled with visions of dancing Jason Wu dresses and skirts!

Jason Wu in Target Stores Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is February 5 and Jason Wu's line will be both in stores and online at Target. In Peoria, the store opens at 8 a.m. and if I can give any advice, it would be to go early if you are able. I have learned with past releases that there are crazy ladies just waiting for the store to open so that they can buy all they can pile into their red carts only to sell the items on eBay! Not fair and very frustrating when all I want is to pick up a couple of great pieces! Grrrr!

So I'll see you at Target tomorrow morning! No worries, there is a Starbuck's nearby...
