An Epic Failure


You can read all of the details about why the Neiman Marcus - Target venture was epic failure in my previous post, but let me provide you with another shinning example. 

The shelves remain fully stocked of all merchandise that was a part of this collaborative collection AND it is ALL 50% off now! Even with this insane discount the shelves remain packed & some items still feel exceedingly overpriced! 

EPIC FAIL.

With that being said, I did purchase a few items because quite frankly I was shocked at the discount & I didn't mind parting with about $30 for these less than fabulous but still cute pieces. 
:: small silver pouch by Marc Jacobs - Originally $70 now $35 ::





:: leopard print slippers by Derek Lam - originally $50 now $25 ::



:: accent box by Eddie Borgo - was $50, now $25 ::

First of all this is a teeny tiny box! 
Secondly, I did not know how much these cost until I got home. When I went to check out there was not a price anywhere to be found & so the manager decided to give them to me for $10 each! When I came home I discovered how much they really cost & I about fell off of my chair! 

 Needless to say, I am happy with my new purchases. I believe both retailers made several monumental & obviously detrimental  mistakes with this collection but hopefully everyone involved will be able to learn & grow from this experience :) I am very curious to see what Target's next big launch will be?

  3. Those are the pieces I want too! And the tray! Other than that I totally wasn't interested...especially not at their original prices. But am bummed that they chose a couple days before Christmas for the markdown...ya know...now that all my money is spent on Christmas gifts for everyone else! Hopefully these will still be available the day after Christmas so I can put my order in!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, lovely!
