This New Target Collab Strikes The Perfect Balance Of Creepy And Classy

There are two types of people in the world: Folks who decorate their living space in a singular style and maintain that vision year-round and others who have storage boxes full of seasonal decor occupying space in an attic or garage that gets rotated in and out of the home depending on the time of year. The latter group is where I belong. When retailers update their offerings to showcase products celebrating upcoming holidays, my cart and heart is full.

Halloween is coming up quick and I/we have important decisions to make. What’s our vibe this year? Target has always been one of my first stops for finding new additions to my holiday collection, but they’ve truly outdone theirselves this time. Their collection from New York-based designer John Derian is a masterclass on how to decorate for Halloween as an adult. It’s elegant but affordable. It’s spooky without being cheesy. Derian manages to find new ways to present us with the traditional pumpkins, spiders and skeletons without it feeling overdone.

Realistically, I live in a tiny New York City apartment so I have to narrow down my selections or face the disapproving glare of my loving husband. With that in mind, I’m sharing the items from the collection that I really can’t live without (and neither should you!)
