Spring Shoes Under $40 I'm Loving at Kohl's

Kohl's has the cutest shoes for spring.
Earlier I shared some of my spring fashion picks under $20 at Kohl's, and now I've got a round-up of the best shoes - all under $40 (and most are actually under $30 after coupons!)




Spring Fashion Picks at Kohl's Under $20

See what's stylish at Kohl's this spring.
Off-the-Shoulder Top (5 colors, also in plus-size)


I stopped at Kohl's this past weekend to see what was new and noteworthy. I forget how crowded it can be on the weekends. From the racks to the dressing rooms to the long checkout lines, it was not the most relaxing shopping experience. But I spotted a few cute pieces worth sharing, most notably the off-the-shoulder top you see above. It's the perfect take on this trend - committed to the look, but not over-the-top. The fabric is a nice cotton, it's comfy, you can dress it up or down, and it's just $20 on sale!



Victoria Beckham for Target Review + Dressing Room Photos, Sizing Tips

The Budget Babe reviews Victoria Beckham at Target with dressing room selfies and sizing details.


Well you guys, another day, another Target collab! I checked out the Victoria Beckham launch yesterday and probably posted way too many times on my Instagram Stories, so here's a recap plus some feedback I received from all of you. I love hearing everyone's take. Overall, it seems like people were loving the kids' clothing and having trouble with the fit of the women's collection. I went to my store at 2:30 in the afternoon because I woke up too late to go in the morning and then I got to church and I was like, ooooh right it's Palm Sunday (ie., longest mass ever), so I fully expected most items to be sold out but was hoping there'd be some stuff left - and sure enough, there was still plenty to choose from.

Off the Rack: Sugarfix by Baublebar at Target (Some Pieces On Clearance!)

Sugarfix by Baublebar at Target
Yesterday I finally got to browse the first installment of Sugarfix by Baublebar jewelry at my local Target. I've already ordered some pieces online (these earrings in two colors), plus I was gifted a necklace and a pair of earrings for review. I think Sugarfix looks even better in person than online!

I love the mix of on-trend and everyday pieces. But the statement pieces are what I recommend, like the colorful tassel earrings. Pair with an off-the-shoulder top or dress and your spring/vacay/summer look is done. Everything's really affordably priced and you guys, I honestly can't tell the difference between Sugarfix and regular Baublebar! #ourlittlesecret

Many of the pieces are now on clearance, making way for the next roll out (new pieces will launch each month - I'm seeing lots of new pieces online), making this collab even more affordable.

Also, a friendly reminder: Victoria Beckham for Target launches this Sunday, April 9th, in stores and online at target.com (start checking the website after midnight on Saturday if there's something you can't live without!) You can read my initial thoughts on it here.

Easter Decorating with Threshold at Target, Plus My Latest Spring Buys

Easter decor at Target
With just ten days until Easter, I thought it'd be fun to share the latest Easter decor by Threshold which I've spotted on recent Target runs. I didn't get a chance to photograph all the things, but I've linked them up below. It's all so good! The collection has a classic, vintage feel that looks collected over time.

Easter decor at Target

Pick a few store-bought items to blend in with DIY elements...maybe tuck a white rabbit figurine into some fresh flowers or branches from your garden for a centerpiece, or just hang the egg wreath on your front door to welcome friends. Prices ranges from $5 to $25.

My Recent Buys


Earlier I shared my recent buys at Payless and Sole Society at the end of this post, and today I'll share my recent buys at JCPenney and Target. I've been methodically building my spring wishlist, so these are items I know I've wanted for many weeks, and now I'm pulling the trigger!

JCPenney is offering an extra 30% off your order (you'll see the coupons when you're checking out, make sure you pick the one that offers the greatest discount - it works even if you're not using a JCP card) so I really went for it you guys! I picked up this Worthington lace blouse in blush pink, the a.n.a. peplum hem blouse in navy floral, navy stripe, and black and white stripe (had such a hard time narrowing it down, honestly I kinda want the pink and green florals too!), the Belle + Sky crossfront top in black, Belle + Sky white distressed skinny jeans and the black skinny jeans, this Belle + Sky off-the-shoulder top, this drape front tee, this button-front off-the-shoulder top, and this floral off-the-shoulder top.

It may seem like a lot but I paid only between $11.89 and $20.99 per item, plus I got free shipping! I just hope everything fits.

At target.com, shoes are still buy one get one 50% off, so I picked up the Merona 'Magnolia' sandals in cognac and the Who What Wear 'Carolina' block heel slides in tan. Both look comfortable and versatile with a little style factor going on, too.

I'll keep you posted once everything arrives and share photos via Instagram!
