Annie Movie Inspired Target Collection Launches at Target on November 16


Fashion



The new movie Annie from Columbia Pictures, starring Cameron Diaz, Jamie Foxx and others, is scheduled to debut on the big screen on December 19th. Fans of the iconic Broadway Musical, however, won't have to wait till next month to start dressing the part. That's because Target is partnering with Annie to bring an inspired limited-edition girls collection into stores nationwide on November 16th.

 The 25-piece line of elegant and playful girls clothing and accessories, designed by Annie costume designer Renee Ehrlich Kalfus, captures the essence of the film's characters. All items are affordably priced at under $30 each and include a whole closet full of outfits with fine details such as patching, embroidery, pretty buttons and tulle.

The show-inspired red girls dress pictured at the top of this post -- along with the iconic heart shaped locket in the collection -- are among the offerings that will take center stage in little girls' lives as soon as they go on sale this coming Sunday.

"The ideas for the collection," says Renee Ehrlich Kalfus, "came right from the designs I created for the movie, like the jean jacket and red dress that Annie wears. From there, I worked hand-in-hand with the Target team to create a line that would bring those pieces to life and into the closets of girls everywhere."

"Target is excited to bring guests a piece of Annie movie magic, just in time for the holiday season," says Stacia Andersen, senior vice president, Apparel and Accessories, Target. "The collection's mix-and-match theme inspires girls to express themselves by creating a look all their own, at prices moms and dads will appreciate."

 Sony Pictures is likewise excited about the alliance. "We are thrilled to be part of Target's first collaboration with a costume designer and their first holiday capsule collection for kids," explains George Leon, executive vice president and head of consumer marketing, Sony Pictures. "Just like our film this collection was made with every girl in mind. Girls are going to fall in love with it."

About Annie

A Broadway classic that has delighted audiences for generations comes to the big screen with a new, contemporary vision in Columbia Pictures' comedy Annie.  The screenplay is based on the musical stage play "Annie," book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and on "Little Orphan Annie," © and ® Tribune Content Agency, LLC. 

Academy Award® nominee Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) stars as Annie, a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz). 

 But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) - advised by his brilliant VP, Grace (Rose Byrne) and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy (Bobby Cannavale) - makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around.

Intel Technology Experience Free Interactive Activities at Select Best Buy Stores Nationwide


Technology




This is a sponsored post

#IntelatBestBuy
There's something exciting and new at select Best Buy stores across the U.S. that's both educational and innovative. If you're lucky enough to live near one of these fifty store locations you're invited to go check out the new Intel Technology Experience, the result of an amazing collaboration between Intel and Best Buy.

MommyBlogExpert.com

A recent study by Intel and Toluna indicates 79% of U.S. residents are eager to learn and try out the latest technologies. Yet, half of these people bemoan the lack of access to them IRL beyond what they hear about via the media. That's the inspiration behind the decision to bring new Intel Technology Experience zones into select Best Buy stores in major markets from coast to coast.

When I visited my local store here in Los Angeles it became immediately apparent that there's something for everyone here. Moms and Dads will discover that bringing the kids to see the Intel Technology Experience display is like walking through a world-class children's technology museum with both educational and fun interactive components.

MommyBlogExpert.com
Tech geeks and technophobes alike will also find lots to do and experience here at this wonderful free in-store exhibit where consumers have the opportunity to see, touch and play with advanced technologies you've likely never seen before up close.


MommyBlogExpert.com
Big kid or kid at heart, you can easily spend hours here with informative, entertaining and facsinating hands-on activities within an average of 240 square feet of store space. Try your hand at printing a 3D robot or racing against your friends with a virtual reality game on Mars.

MommyBlogExpert.com
For musicphiles there's even an interactive display that gives you the opportunity to become a digital DJ to master beats and remix tracks and create a light show under the tutelage of Shaffer Chimere Smith, who is better known to millions of fans as Ne-Yo.

No matter what your niche -- 3D printing, interactive games or music -- consumers will all be thrilled to have the chance to get up close and personal as well as have the opportunity to try out the latest PC and tablet devices such as those by Acer, Lenovo and Dell that Best Buy sells that are all powered by Intel.

MommyBlogExpert.com
Enhancing your experience are specially-trained staff wearing Best Buy blue shirts who are available to answer your questions so you can get the most out of each area of the Intel Technology Experience. Best of all you'll want to return again and again as each season the in-store area will be refreshed with new activities and displays to enjoy. 

For more information about the Intel Technology Experience, including a complete list of store locations, visit BestBuy.com/Intel

Best Buy merchandise is perfect for every budget as my personal experience has been that their selection and prices can't be beat. The store offers their low-price guarantee and free shipping with qualified purchases. Learn more about the brand at BestBuy.com. You can also stay up on all the latest consumer news by following on Facebook and Twitter.
