Ugh, anyone else trying to shop online now and having major anxiety?! I thought I'd have a jump on it, being in a time zone so far ahead...but according to their Twitter page, a lot of people stayed up all hours of the night waiting for the site to go live, and now there are a LOT of pissed would-be shoppers! (Me included! Lol)
FWP I know, but I was so excited for this! (Even though I'm pg right now and won't even be able to wear any of the dresses til next summer!)

@TheSwissWifeStyle: yes. My daughter woke up at 4am, I hopped online and.... Nothing.
I'm hoping to have better luck in store.

I officially gave up 
I msg'd my mom to see if she was going to go to Target today, even though I'm sure it'll be a mad-house and stuff will be sold out all over again!

What I found is the popular things (shift dresses) froze you up but other stuff would add to your cart.
I may have bought the Noise Posey dress for LO in a 5T when she currently wears a 2T... 
It was all they had left!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: @mediagirl: definitely try again now! I know a few people who got order through

Eh when the site finally worked for me, they were sold out of everything I wanted. Bummer.

@hotchildinthecity: yup this. I was on the site when it went live, and even before it crashed most of the dresses were sold out. WTF?! People are saying it's all up on Ebay now. So crappy.
My BFF is currently in line to get in at Target in NJ, so hopefully she can snag me a few items!

Reporting back: Just want to the local target and the line was wrapped around the store. I had DD with me so no thanks...my sister is at another store that has a much older demographic so I'm hoping she has better luck, I really want the matching pink shift dresses!
They did say there was a 5 item limit for people which makes me happy because I hate when the people first in line just buy everything and put it on ebay (what obviously happened online..is it going for more money?!).

@Mrs. Taco: Yes, the prices on ebay are insane! My bff managed to snag me a bag, not sure which one yet. I hope they don't have a limit b/c then I'd feel bad!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: thank for this thread. I was thinking of running to target for a doll stroller for C this morning, but after I saw this I checked Twitter and saw pics on the line around my local store! Yeah not worth fighting that line for a $10 doll stroller!!!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: That's so frustrating. If I don't want something I'll come on here so a momma can get it at the price is should be!
My sister got me two shift dresses for DD (3T so I may have to hem them, she is super tiny!) and the $15 beach bag, I'm excited about that. I just saw a segment on The Today Show about how angry people are.

I've always had problems accessing the Target site internationally. For some reason, it always errors out at check-out (even though I'm shipping to a US address) 
nectarine / 2600 posts
@Foodnerd81: lol! Glad you didn't have to deal with that then!
@SugarplumsMom: hmm, I wonder if that was part of my problem? That would really suck if so!
So my BFF got me the bag and 1 dress. My mom said she'll go tomorrow to see if anything's left over. Doubt it, but you never know!
What craziness! lol

What are the eBay prices like?! I can't imagine paying a markup on anything from target. At that point, I'd just buy the real deal! It didn't even occur to me this type of craziness would happen over this, but I'm glad DD woke up crazy early yesterday and we did our regular Sunday trip yesterday instead!

I'm up and headed down an hour early. If there is a massive line I'll skip it. But I don't expect that. Lily is not a big deal in Oregon. I've never seen anyone wearing it. I'm headed to Hawaii for 2 weeks and need some new resort wear. We will see.

I'm angry. I feel used by target... They get publicity, and I lose sleep and am empty handed. I wonder how much they actually produced in the first place...
grapefruit / 4321 posts
@MrsBeluga: pretty sure the insanity is more a reflection of crazy shopaholic mommies than Target trying to "use" you.

I was a slacker and went to my target late (like 830), and even the displays had been removed bc there wasn't a single scrap left, but I overheard employees saying that people got in line last night, were there when they closed and were going to their cars. Um, it's not that serious! Haha. I wanted a few things but those people deserve them if they spent the night there. I can't compete with that, lol... I'll just hit regular LP when I want without the hassle! It's not worth all that!
honeydew / 7622 posts
Here an hour early, just hit the drive through Starbucks and will go start a line when someone else gets here, for now I will sit in my car and eat a breakfast crossiant. Oh Oregon.
honeydew / 7622 posts
Seriously though I gave up an hour of precious sleep trying to shop online last night since my six week old and I were home alone most of the week. It sucked. Twitter scared me.
honeydew / 7230 posts
I was nursing all night long (my kids don't travel well) so I thought I'd totally be able to get online and shop, but no luck. I'm planning on heading to our local Target later because obviously I need matching mommy and me outfits with DD.
honeydew / 7230 posts
@youboots: It's not a big deal in middle of nowhere Illinois either. In the past their special collections have all ended up in clearance, so I'm hoping it'll be similar with this too.
cantaloupe / 6610 posts
@youboots: nice!!!! I hope you get some good stuff!!! I live in the Prep Capital of the World in SC- so it stands to reason that this was basically mayhem for people here, lol.
honeydew / 7622 posts
@twodoghouse: good tip. I'm happy I will be able to try everything on. I've never come early for a Target collaboration, but the photos on Twitter freaked me out. I was already up nursing my daughter (she slept 7 1/2 hours last night!!!) so I figured I could just go early. I'll just get what I really like and then check out the clearance stuff for home later that I could do without.

@PrincessBaby: oh funny! M's boss asked me how I felt about moving to Charolette last time he was in town. Moving to the Sputh has always been a dream of mine. Minus the humidity.

Ummm, can I just say I went to the target near me and some bitch ripped a dress right out of my hands!! I hope she feels a little bit ashamed every time she wears it 
honeydew / 7230 posts
@youboots: Let us know what you find!
@MrsSCB: That's absurd. People are crazy.
pomelo / 5257 posts
@twodoghouse: seriously, they were nuts! Here was the line when I got there. Never again!!! Haha
pomelo / 5257 posts
@PrincessBaby: I hear you, the Target I went it was in a super preppy area of Houston and it was bananas! I knew it might be a little crowded but it was worse than expected.
pomelo / 5628 posts
Damn I guess you guys are inspiring me to head out...(West Coast). But I think my store will be quiet. Fingers crossed.

What the?! I don't know anything about this. I'm clearly not stylish...
grapefruit / 4903 posts
I just got back from mine and the displays had been removed and everything by 9am. There were literally two phone cases and one umbrella base left.
honeydew / 7488 posts
I went to my store at 8:05 and got some stuff for my DD and a friend's DD. It was pretty slow starting but not many people around here are familiar with the brand. By the time I left store most of the women's stuff was gone and very few kids stuff. It's really cute though! I heard a rumor they might restock online Tuesday.
pomelo / 5628 posts
I got to ours at 10 after and two pieces err left and hordes of yoga pant wearing women were around the corner trading the hordes of clothes they had grabbed. I couldn't possibly...
pomelo / 5257 posts
@Mrs Green Grass: ha, that sounds familiar! And yeah, that was totally the annoying thing -- people were just grabbing massive armfuls of stuff and then sorting through them later, so everything disappeared off the racks immediately.
honeydew / 7622 posts
@twodoghouse: I got the nursing friendly strapless dress I wanted, two pairs of sandals, some hair accessories and two things in bigger sizes for T. There were about 10 people in line.
If they do restock online order up. I'm usually a 4 or 6 and I had to put the six back because it was too tight. I opted for a medium instead of small in the strapless.
ETA they only had about 1/4 of the stuff in the look book in limited quantities
honeydew / 7230 posts
@youboots: Thanks for the advice on sizing! We're at my ILs farm right now but DH said we could head straight to Target when we leave here (he supports mother daughter matching!). Not sure if we'll have any luck as someone on IG said the website is full of lies regarding what's in stock right now (it says a lot is in stock at all of the area Targets). So who knows! I bet T will be darling in the outfits! I'd love to get a couple nursing friendly dresses. I usually live in dresses this time of year, but I don't have any that I can BF in without pulling them up around my waist, haha. Great look for NIP!

I don't think site ever worked correctly. I was up until 3am with a sick kiddo, so I checked in multiple times and it would only ever allow me to see the very first page (of 5) of listings. And then it would crash when you clicked on anything. This was at 2 and 3 am.
