Mark your calendars: September 5.  John Derian for Target.

Click through for more from the collection…

I missed John Derian’s last collection for Target (why do I keep living in places where the only Target is like 30 minutes away??), and I do not plan on making that mistake again.  This is going to require a special trip to Ventura, which I have a feeling could turn into a trip to Oxnard to the chick-fil-a, which sounds like a wonderful marriage of my two favorite redneck guilty pleasures.

I’m pretty sure those are wax seals in that stationery kit.  Love it.

Oh, and everything is under $25.

Along with your cycling pullover and Kanvas by Katin trunks, you might want to look into picking up Apolis Activism’s latest product– the Market Bag– which is made in conjunction with Saidpur Enterprises in Bangladesh.  

Here’s what they say about it on their website:

Saidpur, Bangladesh. Bangladesh was established after the war for independence in 1971. With independence came famines, natural disasters and widespread poverty. The non–profit Saidpur Enterprises started manufacturing Market Bags to help rebuild the economy and create opportunity for the whole supply chain — farmer to manufacturer. 

 I’m hoping for a cool video accompanying this product as well! (See past cool videos here and here.)

Also, just found out from Robin Long that the Parton brothers behind Apolis Activism are from Santa Barbara!  How did I not know that before??  And does someone want to kindly introduce me??

Market Bag available here.
