Another Target Store Opens In Victoria At Hillside Centre
The Target in Hillside Shopping Centre is now open.
photo from times colonist Victoria
Target began opening stores in Canada last year, saying that the company wanted to have 150 locations across the country by the year 2017, but financial results have not been what the US Minneapolis-based company had hoped for.
The Target location at Tillicum Centre never seems to hold enough stock on the shelves and has a very 'MEH' vibe. What are your thoughts, Do you think the Victoria Targets will last?
Marshalls is next to follow Target at Hillside Centre and will open March 27, 2014.

Seven Reasons Why You Don’t Need Money To Be Stylish
In 2010, we all scoffed when then “Real Housewives of New York” star LuAnn de Lesseps released a single called “Money Can’t Buy You Class.” While the track was, indeed, quite laughable (if a teeny-tiny
bit catchy), it turns out the countess might have been onto something,
especially when it comes to fashion. Yes ladies, money can’t buy you
style either.
Obviously, anyone with a credit card can look fashionable. Very few
people though—credit cards or not—can be considered women of genuine
style. Take someone like Kim Kardashian. The reality star has gone from no style to constantly stepping out in high-fashion outfits
that even editors are itching to copy. She looks good, sure, but
there’s something about her transformation that screams “I understand
fashion now, everyone!” as opposed to an organic shift in how she wants
to present herself to the world.
Similarly—thanks to today’s rampant street style and
Instagram culture—we’re inundated with young women whose sources of
income are dubious, but always seem to be
in possession of up-to-the-minute items from Céline, Stella McCartney, Givenchy, Chanel,
and other top-level labels, which often leads us to wonder whether many
of these women would be considered truly stylish without the pricey
labels.
Look, don’t get us wrong: We love nice things. There’s nothing better
than treating yourself to a piece by a designer you truly love, that
you know you’re going to proudly use for years to come. The problems
arise, however, when you start feeling less-than because you
can’t participate in the more-more-more cycle of having the new “It”
items season after season.
Well, guess what? You don’t really require them to look amazing. To convince you, here are 7 reasons why you don’t need money to be stylish.
1. Because there are so many untapped stores to check out.
Here’s a little secret: They might not broadcast it, but truly stylish
women will troll any—and we mean any—store or site with zero snob factor
and probably always emerge with something they can
seamlessly incorporate into their wardrobes. We’re not talking about
regular “acceptable” fast fashion stores (we’ll get to those later), but
rather teenybopper-seeming mall stores, dusty Salvation Army outposts,
cheap departments stores, even dollar stores, which are heaven for cool
accessories like bandanas, canvas totes, and pool slides.
Stylish women also seek out off-price havens like TJ Maxx, Marshalls,
and Century 21 for quality designer items (we’re talking Marc Jacobs,
Prada, and Chloe, and J. Brand) at lower prices. In some cities, those
types of items are hit or miss, but that’s part of the fun.
2.Because eBay and Etsy are a fashion dream.
Quick story: A StyleCaster editor recently almost spent over $400 on a pair of cowboy-inspired shoe boots from a top designer. Before doing it, she took to eBay and found loads of similar vintage styles she actually liked better, and scored a killer pair of brown lizard shoe boots for $10, plus shipping.

Stylish women know that you can pretty much find anything on sites like eBay and Etsy, including high-end labels like vintage Chanel (just do your research so as to avoid getting duped), and collectors items such as Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga.
3. Because you know how to accessorize.
Even old clothes can be elevated with the right accessories—none of which have to cost a lot of money. Try juxtaposing your accessories with the nature your outfit for a really stylish twist. For example, pair blue jeans and an old gray tee with glittery statement earrings or a blingy necklace. Conversely, try more casual accessories like a slouchy hat or an armload of bracelets with inherently dressy pieces like a cocktail dress or a skirt.

Conversely, try more casual accessories like a slouchy hat or an armload of bracelets with inherently dressy pieces like a cocktail dress or a skirt.
4. Because fast fashion.
You don’t need us to tell you that between H&M, ASOS, Forever 21,
and Zara, you can pretty much build a wardrobe that looks like it came
from any number of high-end labels or boutiques. You also don’t need us
to tell you that “fast fashion” also has become something of a dirty
phrase lately, but the fact remains that these stores are a panacea for
women looking to try out a trend without foolishly spending.
The trick, however, is using fast fashion to your advantage by
choosing pieces you genuinely like and will wear, as opposed to loading
up on every little trend because it’s inexpensive.
5. Because you pay attention to beauty.
Think of the coolest girls you know—they probably have great hair, right? They also probably know what color lipstick looks best on them, too. In some ways, the right haircut and the right makeup can do more to elevate your style and send a message than the clothes you’re wearing.

Plus, chopping your hair, wearing bright lipstick, or going for a
color consultation is a hell of a lot easier on your wallet than being a
slave to fashion.
6. Because tailors exist.
Fit is everything when it comes to style. Even if stylish women are wearing something purposefully oversize or shrunken, it’s still in proportion to their body. It’s for this reason that finding a good tailor is absolutely key. Not only can a tailor customize pieces to fit you better, but they can also transform almost any garment, making them look totally different. Those wide-leg pants you bought last winter that don’t feel so modern anymore can be turned into chic wide-leg culottes to wear this spring.

7. Because you understand labels don’t make you cooler.
The most stylish people in the world are ones who know they don’t need the $700 sweatshirt or $2,000 handbag to make themselves appear cool. When it comes down to it, what’s the point of buying the same stuff everyone else has or wants? To show how much you spent? Doesn’t that seem a little silly?

Instead, seek out things that you genuinely like, things you can
afford, and things that look great on you. It’s as simple as that. You
might not get 200,000 Instagram likes every time you post a photo, but
you will seem self-possessed, and a little above the fray, which
is—parson the cliché—pretty priceless.

Have You Heard About Nezza Naturals?
Nezza Naturals is a family-run, eco-friendly company located here, in beautiful Victoria, B.C. They create 100% natural body, bath and home care products with as many natural and organic ingredients as possible. Nezza Naturals products are healthy for both your body and the environment, using 100% natural, botanical ingredients. No parabens, no sulphates, no petrochemicals, no thickeners, no fillers, no artificial colors, and no excess packaging.
Go natural with Nezza Naturals. Using natural plant based products is one of the best ways to prevent exposure to the toxic chemicals found in many cosmetics and household products. It is so important to read ingredients and to gain an understanding of what we are putting on our skin daily, in our homes and ultimately in the environment. Nezza Naturals guarantee is to use only high quality, plant based ingredients at a very high concentration.
Skin is our biggest organ and is capable of absorbing a surprising amount of what we put on it. Nature has provided such amazing ingredients that are gentle yet powerfully effective and work on multiple levels. Certain plant based ingredients like essential oils not only help with skin care but have positive effects on mood and state of mind.
Get a healthier space, body and mind. The first step to a healthier body and environment is understanding which toxic chemicals are commonly found in cosmetics and household products so that they can be avoided. Part of the Nezza commitment to their customers is to share this valuable information and help consumers make informed choices about the products they use.
Nezza Naturals has a huge and wide range (over 300 products) of natural items to help you live better such as deodorant (my favorite is the Lemongrass & Tea Tree), soap bars (my favorites are the Peppermint and the Lemongrass bars), exfoliants and scrubs (my favorite is Seaweed & Mint) and much, much more.
Nezza Naturals began on Galiano Island, B.C. in 2004. They began by selling oil blends, salves and lotions at local markets and craft shows. The demand for local, high-quality, organic products helped the company flourish and in 2007 they opened a store in downtown Victoria B.C.
The Nezza Natural family loves working with customers to help them learn about healthy, natural alternatives. They are all amazing, knowledgeable people and bring their own passions, experiences and expertise.
