Temple St. Clair for Target Lookbook

The Temple St. Clair for Target lookbook has been released, sorry I'm just posting it now, been crazy busy visiting with friends and family and working during breaks on the go! This collection features 14K gold-plated necklaces, cuffs, rings, and charms inspired by Renaissance Italy. Ethereal blues, blood reds and clear white gemstones showcase the designer's love of color while whimsically wrought settings in gold look modern yet opulent. Pieces are priced from just $30 to $50 and will be available at Target stores and online at Target.com from August 29th through December 28th. I can see myself wearing the Gold Wide-Band Ring in Blue/Green ($30), Gold Necklace With Pear Drop Stones in Yellow ($50) and Gold Charm Bracelet ($40). Also wondering what happened to the heart ring that Lucky Mag previewed a while back. Which pieces in this limited-edition collection catch your eye?

Watch the video to hear them answer my questions about fall fashion must-haves, how to wear the military trend and much more. (You'll hear them refer to me by my first name rather than "The Budget Babe" but don't let that throw you off.)
