Target Worker Confirms Early March Release of iPad 3

Normally I'd take this with a grain of salt, but it does align with other rumors of this nature. According to a "credible" source at Target, the company is preparing their system for the iPad 3, which they're expecting in early March. Apparently, the source is very close to the internet marketing division within Target, and therefore is privy to this sort of information.

All rumors thus far have pointed towards an announcement in the first week of March, and a release a short time later.

Soon Apple will have Stores within Target

Hundreds of Best Buy stores across the US have a dedicated Apple Store-like area. Here, Macs, iPads, iPhones, and accessories for Apple products are sold. Sure, it doesn't have the same magic or customer service as an Apple store, but for those without a nearby Apple Store, it's the next best thing.

Apple will be entering a similar deal with Target. 25 of the larger Target stores in the US will be getting a dedicated Apple Store within a store. Apple may just focus on iOS devices now, but in the future, Macs could be sold in Target stores.

Originally, Apple created Apple Retail stores because normal retail stores weren't nice enough, and didn't have dedicated and knowledgable staff. But, with Apple's "store within a store" option, they may have finally found a solution that's almost as good as a dedicated Apple Retail Store. Expect to see these popping up this year.

Wardrobe basics

Did you catch oprah this week? the shlumpadinka episode? I love how they did the makeover's for real women in real clothing at real easy to get to retail chain stores. It just makes sense to help teach women how to shop at the same stores they go to - but smarter. Don't ya think? I loved Lloyd Bostons basics section they did too. Now I'm itching to get some new flats and definately a trench coat! So I'm thinking another shopping trip is due! I hit a few stores today but just didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Here's what I've got on my mind for coats - looks like I might need to be ordering online instead of searching the stores!
Love this color!!!!

Love this color too. The material and length are wrong for Spring but I still want it for next Fall/winter! :)
and this little number! who can resist my favorite pattern - polka dots! too cute!!!

Now on to shoes. Flats aren't something I wear alot of but they say it's better then wearing tennis shoes. I have a pair of red flats which I love to wear and I will definately be buying a couple more pairs with fun bold colors or patterns for this Spring. I'd love to buy a fun animal print pair!

Speaking of red shoes, doesn't Sandi have the cutest pair? She got alittle help from my alter ego, Flat Betty picking out those shoes. She's definately hot and trendy for this season! You can view the details about Flat Betty's latest trip here . Will you be buying anything new to add to your Spring Wardrobe?
