Worth it? Missoni for Bugaboo

Missoni's iconic prints have been everywhere lately (or will be after the Missoni for Target launch!) and now they're also on baby strollers.  This edgy Italian fashion house has teamed up with the ultimate name in carriages to launch Missoni for Bugaboo strollers.  

Bugaboo is a brand that I have frequently seen around NYC - these modern carriages are supposed to be safe and somewhat light as well.  However, they have always been priced for the financial services crowd (do people really spend that much on a stroller?!)  Sure it's lightweight, allows for multiple positions, and allows for a one piece fold, but I've wondered whether the price is worth the cost.  Then again, would you put a limit on how much you would spend on a useful mode of transport for your baby? The addition of a versatile print and Missoni blanket (which of course could be put to other uses!) certainly make this a unique and unexpected carriage!

LOTC: Missoni for Target sneak peek

Missoni for Target may be the ultimate Luxing it on the Cheap (LOTC) collaboration for Target to date.  This 400 piece collection launchs Sept. 13 and has both interior designer lovers and fashionistas swooning.  I've wanted a classic Missoni print dress or cardigan for a while now, but was always hindered by the price.  Now that the price is $7.99 to $199.99, I can definitely drape myself with a beloved Missoni print or five.  Of course one should look out for quality (it's been hit or miss in my experience with the designer collaborations at Target).   But shipping is usually free for orders over $50 and returns are easy.

Here are a few favorite picks from the collection so far...
