target services, college registry at target
I consider myself to be a Target connoisseur. I mean, I make regular trips to the bullseye mecca on a weekly basis. Sometimes it's to buy cat food for my little kitty, Chauncey, or I'm just browsing the clothes and accessories. And you know I love the Target dollar bins!
But I was so surprised to learn Target has a college registry. Did you know that?
Check out a few other Target services and resources you may have overlooked.

Thrift Shopping Haul: Looking Fly on a Dime guide to thrifting
Last weekend's weather was absolutely gorgeous, so that meant it was perfect for a full day of thrift shopping and brunch. Before hitting up Lido in Harlem {gotta love bottomless mimosas!}, my friend LaToya and I checked out the Goodwill in East Harlem.
Though I ended up with a cart full of clothes, I only walked away with one item. Read on to see why I passed on a few items {they were great, but they weren't great} and see how I found a ton of new Target merchandise at Goodwill.

Looking Fly on a Dime: Affordable Vintage Warehouse

Do you know what I did last weekend? If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, then yeah, you already know. I hit up the thrift mecca of Udelco warehouse for some serious vintage shopping.I previously posted about Udelco about two years ago, but it was time I paid them a visit again and this time my aunt and cousin joined me. For those who attended my last Ready, Set, Thrift! event, you may have seen my aunt. The thrift shopping party was her first time thrifting and I was happy that she and my cousin joined me for another round of thrift therapy.Based in northern New Jersey, Hawthorne to be exact, Udelco vintage warehouse has affordable, one-of-a-kind clothes. While most vintage wholesalers aren't open to the public, Udelco opens their doors to anyone looking for a treasure hunt. See what I found, plus a few tips if you ever plan to visit a thrift warehouse.
