During a recent trip to Target, I strolled down the near-barren shoe aisles to see what, if anything, was new and noteworthy. Most of the boots and slippers had been cleared out and there wasn't much new stock to speak of, but I did spot a few cute pairs that could brighten your day, including leopard print kitten heels, studded flats and a sexy (although very uncomfortable-looking) pair of nude platforms. I didn't buy anything this time but I'm sure I'll be back before Valentine's Day when I always find myself craving the most impractical, precipitously tall heels I can find. On a budget, of course.
