Lily for Target thread - haters stay out!

[Deleted]

I have every intention of still being asleep when my local Target opens at 8 a.m. but I wanted to start the thread so before I venture out I will know how others are doing and whether or not I should just try shopping online instead.

What are you hoping to get?

If you've shopped already, how was it?  Scores?

[lo]

I want a bathing suit!! The higher waist ones intrigue me, but my high rise jeans have an unfortunate effect on my still stretched out bellybutton, so I'm not sure if they will be flattering on me.

Does anyone know the smallest size the girls clothing comes in? I would love to get DD something in 12months to match me!

[lulu21]

@this did they say when it will be online? I read somewhere between 1am -3am.

The 1-3am is CST. I have a friend who is friends with Lilly's granddaughter (yes I'm loling at myself) who she said confirmed it would be between 3 and 4am EST.

Looks like I can cancel my 1am alarms.

[robyn]

I'm setting an alarm for 1am, if it's not online yet I'll re set it for 2. There's about a 50/50 chance I actually get up though. I have a ton of stuff marked on my target account as favorites. Not sure if I'll hit the store in the morning, we are going to the baseball game tomorrow and still need to go to the grocery store. I'm really hoping to get DD and I something matching!

[indylady]

My alarm is set. DH asked what I was doing and when I said I was getting up for the Lilly sale, he asked if it was Eli Lilly the drug company. Yes DH, I'm waking up early to get a prescription filled.

[wavepool]

I really like the gold wedges and the pineapple sandals, but not sure if I like them enough to get up in the middle of the night to order them.
O's birthday is tomorrow, so won't make it to the store. Wondering if people in my area will be going crazy over it.

[redpenmama]

I am not setting any alarms, but DS tends to wake up around 3-4 am sooo, if he does, then I might not complain tonight.

[noodleskooze]

The stuff is cute but I cannot deal with the insanity. Lol

My husband said "Like the Pulitzer prize?"

Yes, Target is having a collaboration with award-winning books and journalistic efforts.


I'm so freaking excited for this! I had a dream last night that I didn't get anything, and I'm really hoping that's not a prophetic dream.

I want the fedora, the gold wedges, navy pom-pom shorts, a scarf or two, pink eyelet shorts for both me and DD, white floral espadrilles for DD and me, flip-flops, pom-pom shorts for DD, gold sandals for DD, the big woven basket, and some of the hair accessories.

[lo]

Basically I want matching outfits for me and DD for EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!! Complete with shoes, obvs.

I can't hate but I'm lazy as fuck so I will pick over the leftovers later in the week.

I don't hate it either and want a few things. But you know what the biggest perk of living in the absolute sticks is? When I go to Target on Tuesday it will all still be there. With 6 old ladies saying, "Lily Who?"

[laurenh]

I can neither confirm nor deny whether chris is currently writing a script to search target.com for the phrase "nosie posey" every 5 seconds that will send us a text when it is successful.

[lilac05]

Same here, @starry and @justdairy! I can almost guarantee most of this stuff will sit on the racks for awhile & end up on sale, just like the other limited collections have done. The downside is that they don't order as wide of a variety as stores where it'll sell better.

Good luck LP hunters! I admire your dedication (& your craziness)!

This is what I'm hoping for. My usual target is not the target demographic for lily Pulitzer, lol. Anneliese has a well check Tuesday morning and I think we'll check it out after that.

[laurenh]

lo haha I don't really know either but he did it for some special whiskey release one time and it worked so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Sleep is precious these days!

This is true. Although mine seems to get a decent amount of at least the semi popular stuff. 
I have that T-shirt all of S*B craved during the Parabal Gurung one. I scored some Missoni as well. 

Russian wants to go shopping tomorrow. So if it's raining, I might leave the kids with H and take him so I'll probably be in on this madness.  

[bcarp30]

I'm so excited for this. Even though I've already spent more than $600 at regular Lilly this season alone AND I live in CO so it's all been worn once, if at all.

I've got my alarms set. DD is at my mom's house so I'm taking full advantage to be up at all hours of the night. DH was also forewarned about what would be appearing on the CC but I told him I'm ordering doubles and returning what doesn't work. I'm also buying for friends to do my part and alleviate some of the traffic. They better have the site better than the LP After Party Sales or the Missoni for Target launch. That was redic.

I'm not nervous about what I'll find because there will be one replenishment order for Ecomm and stores but I am worried about the 14 day return window. Sometimes the stuff from Target takes forever to ship!

Speaking of, whatever happened with the Applebee's waitress?

[motzie]

I just laughed so hard at @this wish list. We live in Florida, we need ALL THE THINGS. We have overnight guests plus H has lacrosse tomorrow morning. I think online after the baby's next feeding is my best bet.

I want a jumpsuit. And one to match for DD1.

[bronxgirl]

I have no business spending any money, but I really want a bathing suit, cover up and espadrilles. I'm really annoyed that the plus size stuff is online only b/c I'd like to see it before I decide if I want to buy it, plus I expect the website to be a disaster. I have to drop DD off at Sunday School at 9:00 so I might stop by Target after that out of curiosity. When Missoni was released the target near where I worked was cleared out in a couple hours, but the one near where I live has a very different demographic, so they had tons of stuff. I was actually able to get DD the coat I wanted to get her on clearance for 50% off. I'm hoping that happens again with girls' clothes.

[oceanstbride]

I'm thinking I'll set an alarm for 4. I usually wake up myself around 6, so not too much earlier. I live in NC where people love Lilly, so am going to try to avoid the store.

@this those matching dresses are adorable. Thankfully we have a boy or the Target red card bill would be significantly higher next month!

Edit: I should've said that this searches for "nosie posey" every 5 seconds then plays a sound when it doesn't get "no results found" on the resulting page.

This is real quick n dirty and not at all exact, but if you have Windows, click start and type "Windows PowerShell ISE" and open that app if you have it then paste this in:


$searchurl="http://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=nosie+posey&category=0%7CAll%7Cmatchallpartial%7Call+categories&lnk=snav_sbox_nosie+posey"



do {

$search1=$(Invoke-WebRequest -uri $searchurl)

write-host "not yet - $((get-date).tostring())"

start-sleep -seconds 5

}

while ( ($search1 -like "*no results found*"))

$sound = new-Object System.Media.SoundPlayer;

$sound.SoundLocation="C:\Windows\Media\alarm05.wav";

$sound.Play();
Then press F5 or hit the green play button. It searches for "nosie posey" every 5 seconds then plays a sound when it doesn't get "no results found" on the resulting page.

Test it first by changing the "*no results found*" to something like "*no results foundsss*"

You may or may not have alarm05.wav or the right version of PowerShell. If you get an error that says "Exception calling "Play" with "0" argument(s):" find a different sound file and type that in instead.

[motzie]

I don't even know what any of this means, but I'm pretty sure chris is a bad ass.

[chris]

farmvillelover it was a search that currently gives no results found. "porcelain pineapple" would also work.

[mandapanda18]

I'm in the boonies and all the other designer lines ended up in clearance at my store, so if anyone has any must haves I can check for them during my weekly run tomorrow.

[cincodemayo]

I'm getting up asap in 6 hours to get those dang pineapple sandals. Except I wear size 11 and I'm pretty sure they won't have them and I'll be there, unshowered and unkempt, pissed that my big ass feet won't fit in their dainty shoes.

I also want the white top and blue shorts. And a dress if I can get it.
