I LOVE Target. Unfortunately there isn't one very close to me now that we've moved. = ( I also love TJ Maxx (Umm... TOTALLY scored a Betsey Johnson scarf, Anna Sui parfume, a Gwen Stefani Harajuku Lovers bag, Marciano brand jeans and red leather ballet slippers for super cheap last time I shopped there) but there isn't one close to me.
My favorite places to shop (in San Francisco) are H&M (cheap cheap cheap), Ikea, Shu Uemura (super expensive but cosmetics is the one thing I refuse to skimp on), Sephora, Forever 21 (although everything there is disposable), Meryvn's (so cheap and easy to find basics that aren't too trendy) and Trader Joe's, the BEST grocery store on the face of the earth. They actually make grocery shopping fun with all the unique items they carry, and they sell at a fairly low price so I don't feel like I'm going to fall over after the checker rings up my items!
