2) Shopping List
Checkout the entire Collection HERE and make a list of the items you would love to get your hands on. I could not stress enough the importance of having a shopping list. Having a list helps to keep you focused whether shopping online or in-store. There is no time to waste. You don't want to be "looking around" and have everything sell out on you.
3) Online Target Shoppers
Let me start by saying you must be patient! Online launches for Target never go live at midnight. Target does not announce a launch time to avoid having their site crash. Be prepared to stay up late.
If you are shopping the collection online make sure you have a Target account. If not, sign-up beforehand and have all your information entered, including payment method. You don't want to waste time setting-up an account. Once your account is setup, sign in and be ready to shop. Once the shopping starts, don't expect the collection to appear all at once. Items usually begin to pop-up one by one. Make sure to shop fast and checkout fast. Just because something is in your cart it doesn't guarantee it. Target offers free shipping with purchases over $25, so you don't have to worry about shipping fees.

Also, have your cell phone ready to shop. In the past, certain Target collaborations have been easier to shop via mobile website.
4) Target Store Shoppers
Target stores open at 8 am. Inventory will vary from store to store. Once the collection goes live online, you can use the store locator to find out if a certain item will be in-stock at your local Target. Have a "back-up" Target Store in case you do not find the items you want.
Be ready to arrive early. Make sure you dress comfortable and weather appropriate, since you will be waiting in line outside. If needed bring a drink and snack so that you don't need to leave the line for anything.
I always suggest bringing a shopping buddy with you. This increases your chances of getting items. Make sure you know each others wish list and sizes.
5) Be Persistent
If you didn't get your hands on your coveted items you might still have a chance. Check fitting rooms. Many times after the morning rush the fitting rooms are flooded with pieces from the collection. You can even check customer service for returns. If not, keep checking your Target store for the next couple of days because there will be returns.
