Shoppers say 'no' as holiday decorations on sale 'way too early'
While lots of people are looking forward to seasonal festivities, others think it's too early to start celebrating Halloween fans have been left divided after a shopper spotted seasonal decorations in TK Maxx. Facebook Page Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK caused quite the buzz when it shared pictures of TK Maxx's Halloween range online this week. The post read: "Halloween Home Ornaments are starting to arrive in store at TK Maxx already!" It was accompanied by pictures of a store with rows of themed decor up for grabs, including ghost, skull, and pumpkin ornaments. The decorations delighted several people, but confused others who suggested June is too early to start selling the themed items. A debate followed, as people were quick to weigh in on when they'd expect stores to introduce Halloween items ahead of October 31. For many shoppers, it was welcome news, and several commenters were keen to plan trips to browse the range. One such fan wrote: "We need a shopping date! I need all of this." Someone else replied with heart emojis, writing: "Oh look new home decor." Another excited viewer replied: "SPOOKY SEASON." Meanwhile, a fan added: "Summerween trip." Their friend replied: "We need to go." A similar response said: "Trip to TK Maxx needed soon." A keen shopper wrote: "It's everywhere tempting me already." Someone else commented: "TK Max as well as the Range then." Not everyone was quite so excited, though. One unimpressed social media user wrote: "No no NO ….. let's have summer first before we start seeing autumn things ….. jeeeez way too early!!" Someone else replied: "Summer hasn't even arrived," before adding a laughing emoji. Elsewhere, a commenter asked: "Ooh are they properly putting things out now or is it leftovers from last year? Will pay a visit next week." Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK replied: "We spoke to a member of staff in store and they said this wasn't old stock. They expect more to arrive in the near future. Hope that helps." There's also a selection of festive decor on TK Maxx's website. At the time of writing, it featured over 200 Halloween products, including throws, duvet sets, cushions, and candles. For cushion lovers, the current selection includes a £49.99 Isaac Mizrahi White Skelton Cushion Buddy 81x152cm, a £19.99 Martha Stewart Two Pack White Boucle Ghost Cushions, and a £29.99 Martha Stewart Three Pack Tonal Pink Ghost Shape Decorative Cushions. Shoppers looking for bedding might like the £24.99 Chelsea Peers Double Pink Ghost Duvet Cover Set discounted from £24.99. There's also the £24.99 Goblin & Ghoul Sage Ghost Pumpkin Halloween Throw 127x177cm, and the £24.99 Rachel Zoe White Tossed Ghosts Patterned Throw 120x180cm. Other themed items include the £12.99 Afternoon Stroll Scented Candle 275g, the £14.99 Silver Tone Witch Hat Halloween Decoration 33x26cm, and the £9.99 White Boo Ghosts Halloween Decoration 12x23cm.

Designer Isaac Mizrahi still dazzles — and dishes — off the runway
NEW YORK — I keep coming back to grainy images of Isaac Mizrahi whirling around Manhattan's Garment District like the embodiment of Mary Tyler Moore's airborne tam, his famously unruly mop of black curls tamed by an endless parade of stylish bandannas. He's frozen in time that way for fans of 1995's 'Unzipped,' which I just rewatched after the Douglas Keeve-directed documentary celebrated its 30th anniversary with a restored print at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

The hardest part about parenting teenagers isn't the awkward conversations, it's this
This story is part of the May 11 edition of Sunday Life. See all 13 stories. My daughter throws back her head, laughing as she sits on the living room floor, her navy sneakers peeking out from under her white tulle petticoat. As we both get stuck into our second piece of birthday cake, I can't stop gazing at my firstborn. How have I become the mother of an 18-year-old? Finishing off the last sweet mouthful of buttercream icing, I recognise that my daughter's laughter and wide smile are still those of the same little girl who'd insist on dressing herself up in layers of princess costumes. What has changed is that the young woman sitting cross-legged in front of me has confidence and a strong sense of self-worth, traits I never had when I was her age. Like me, Allegra loves the fairytale of fashion, and she has spent almost a year planning this birthday outfit. Her long blonde hair covers her face as she leans over to tie up her shoelaces. I look at her pale peach ball gown skirt and black bandeau top, inspired by the work of designer Isaac Mizrahi, and smile. Secretly, as a Gen-Xer, I'm chuffed that a '90s look is considered cool in 2025. However, I haven't been as quiet about reminding Allegra and her friends that I wore it first and know all the words to the George Michael songs they're now obsessed with. I sing the words, 'Freedooooom, I won't let you down ...' and think about how hard I tried to be the perfect mum when my girls were little; something I let go of long ago, when I came to accept that I am good enough as I am. What I'm still struggling with is the letting go that comes as your children get older. What does having a 'grown up' daughter mean? My throat catches when I think about her making her own way in the world. What if I'm not there to catch her? How can I protect her from pain, heartache and sadness? What if I miss the moments of undiluted joy? Who am I without her by my side? It's not long before she wants you to walk behind her in case anyone sees you together, and you do something embarrassing. JESSICA ROWE Motherhood is a series of 'letting goes' that begin the moment you give birth. Suddenly, this little soul that had fluttered inside you is stretching its arms and legs, flailing to get out of the muslin wrap you've spent far too long trying to master before tucking her into the cot. Then she's bolting away from you at the bottom of the slippery-dip because she's not ready to leave the park yet. You let go of your need to get anywhere quickly because you're not allowed to help her get dressed, brush her hair or put on her shoes and socks. It's not long before she wants you to walk behind her in case anyone sees you together, and you do something embarrassing. I revel in being embarrassing! And, as she grows, when the topics of friends, relationships and love come up, it's impossible not to leap in with 'helpful' advice, even if that includes my uninvited views on pornography.

Target adds limited edition huge-name fashion collection
Chances are most people who shop at Target are there for household goods like laundry detergent, diapers, and dog food. Plus, the company has doubled down on groceries over the last couple of years, with the store becoming more of a one-stop shop. In fact, the company's food and beverage sales increased from $15 billion in 2019 to more than $24 billion in 2024, according to the company's website. Don't miss the move: SIGN UP for TheStreet's FREE Daily newsletter But Target (TGT) also has a decades-long history of launching short-term "cheap and chic" collaborations that fashionistas especially love. Related: Target makes controversial move to dodge high tariff costs Target's inaugural collab launched in 2003 with designer Isaac Mizrahi and was a huge hit - to the tune of $300 million during its five-year run. In the the ensuing decades, Target has partnered with high-fashion luxury brands like Missoni, Rodarte, and Diane von Furstenberg and with more attainable brands such as Levi's, Champion, and Marimekko. Source: Photo by Gotham/GC Images Target collaborations tend to sell out quickly, and there's even a whole community of fashion bloggers who share tips on how customers can get their hands on the limited-quantity collections. Many of the designer collabs also get a second life on high-end resale outlets like Poshmark and TheRealReal, which is not where you'd expect to find Target garments. One reason the collabs succeed is that they appeal to people who love high fashion. While they might dream of being able to buy, say, a Stella McCartney dress, at $1,000+, it's just not in the budget. But a $100 Stella McCartney x Target frock is affordable. Related: Target's latest policy change sparks massive boycott threat Other consumers favor more middle-of-the-road brands like Levi's, and they appreciate the ongoing Levi's/Target collaboration for its focus on sustainability and fair trade materials. The Levi's collection at Target also features home goods, which the brand doesn't sell in its own stores. Target's latest collaboration, and its largest to date, is with Kate Spade New York. The 300-piece collection includes everything from clothing and handbags/accessories to home entertaining goods and party supplies - plus a party tent and a bike. Kate Spade New York is known for its splashy colors and bold patterns, and this collection is on brand. Items start at $5 (e.g., candles and party invites) all the way up to a cruiser bike, available in black and white or cherry red, for $299. Most offerings in the fashion collection, including handbags, are $20 to $50. Half the products in the Kate Spade New York x Target collection cost less than $15. A Kate Spade New York handbag can cost between $148 and $498. Dresses range from $298 to $498.

"With versatile pieces that work for every occasion and can't-miss prices, this partnership brings together Kate Spade's signature style with Target's legacy of making the best design accessible to all," said Target's Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Apparel and Accessories, Home and Hardlines Jill Sando, in a statement. "Our teams worked together for two years to create this collection, and I can't wait for consumers to see everything we have to offer. It's stylish, affordable, and loaded with items that'll add plenty of joy to everyday moments." The Kate Spade New York x Target line drops April 12 at 3 a.m. ET.
