Kate Hudson showed off a stylish way to wear the bell sleeve trend, pairing an off-white sweater with flare leg jeans and ankle boots for a casual boho look.

Recently I had the chance to try out a complimentary box from Panty Drop, a subscription lingerie service for women. Aside from the somewhat unfortunate name, Panty Drop is doing everything right. You may wonder, but Budget Babe, how could I possibly need another subscription box? To that, I challenge you to look in your lingerie drawer...is it up to date with stylish unmentionables that make you feel your best when you get dressed? As much as I swore I'd keep mine sexy, I've been reaching for the same basics for far longer than I'd care to reveal.



So the truth is, I kinda needed this. With Panty Drop, customers sign up once, fill out their preferences, and then receive a customized box of panties every 3 months. Panty Drop has two different subscription plans: a basic plan for $35 that is a great balance between style, affordability and comfort, and a premium plan at $65 for customers who want the best in design and quality. The starting lineup of brands includes Cosabella, Commando, Honeydew Intimates and most recently added, Hanky Panky and White Rabbit. Plus new members get 30% off of their first box, which is an absolute steal at just $8.16 per pair!

My box contained two pairs from the premium line (so of course now I'm spoiled) and one pair from the basic plan, which is actually really nice and great for everyday.

I love the minimal packaging, and I was shocked that all three pairs of underwear fit my style exactly. I love the colors, and most importantly, the natural fabrics. I don't care how cute undies are unless they're natural and breathable fibers. Should you happen to fill out the questionnaire and don't love what you get, returns and exchanges are free.



Added bonus: Panty Drop is big on showcasing small, sustainable businesses, as well as giving back to nonprofit organizations, which you can learn more about here.

Overall I'm impressed with Panty Drop and think it would be the best gift ever for a bride-to-be, sister, BFF, or yourself. I am getting a pop-up when I visit Pantry Drop with an offer for 30% off your first box when you submit your email, so now's the perfect time to give it a try!

Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell showed off her casual style in a tan suede moto jacket, lighter wash ripped jeans and black mule slides recently while grabbing lunch with pal Ashley Benson.

The star piece in this outfit is of course the moto jacket, a great transitional layering piece. I think this might Shay's exact jacket - it gets rave reviews and I've seen many fashion bloggers rocking it, too.

For a budget alternative under $100, try this faux suede jacket - the plus-size comes in black, olive or blush pink!



And don't forget the shoes: In case you missed the memo, mules are everything for spring. Get in on the trend with this pair by Christian Siriano for Payless that's under $25! Also comes in a chic nude hue, too.

Yesterday you guys sent me on a shopping mission to Target (those are screenshots from my Instagram Story above), and at first I wasn't feelin' it but when I looked closer, I found a lot to love for spring! I tried to reign in my enthusiasm and focused on some key pieces you can add to your existing wardrobe to make everything look fresh again.

First make sure you have all the basics: Soft tees (I recommend getting one striped, one white, one blush pink and one camo print), a great denim jacket, some white denim (not the easiest thing to find but Target has great options in store), and a pretty dress that can take you from day to night. Then add something trendy like an off-the-shoulder top, a pair of tassel earrings (this pair looked great IRL), some studded gladiator sandals, or a cold-shoulder dress to keep things interesting.

Also, right now when you spend $75, save $15 online only at target.com! I've noticed Target has a lot more options online than in store, so definitely take a look if you haven't already. Keep reading to see my dressing room favorites and some notes on sizing and quality. What are you guys loving/buying/wanting at Target this month?

Love the 12 tops you see above? Believe it or not, they're all from JCPenney! (And I mean that in the best way possible!) Yes, JCP is bringing their A-Game for spring, and I thought it would be fun to round up 12 of my favorite off-the-shoulder tops because, really, I couldn't narrow it down to just one or two.

From floral to chambray, ruffled to structured, you name it, they've got it all. Pair your off-the-shoulder top with white denim and tassel earrings (I ordered this pair) and you've got the "it" look of the season.

It gets better: All my picks are under $30! And you can save 25% with code 8FORYOU thru 3/26 during the Friends & Family Sale in store and online!

Most tops come in other colors and sizes (misses, plus and petite) so be sure to click through to see all your options. Which one is your favorite?
