Off the Rack: February Shoe Offerings at Target




I finally got around to checking out the latest spring shoe offerings at my local Target store, which is currently undergoing renovations as they improve the store and expand the grocery section, so it was kind of topsy-turvy and many of the shelves were bare. Anyways, I saw a couple of the new Dolce Vita for Target Spring 2011 offerings, as well as the Mossimo 'Pilar' wedge (which looks identical to Dolce Vita's 'Pela' wedge. Why they didn't just include it in the Dolce Vita for Target collection is beyond me.) I didn't get anything on this trip but I need the Pilar wedge and hope they don't sell out. I wasn't feeling any of the flat sandals so I didn't photograph them. If you've bought any shoes recently at Target and love your purchase, let me know in the comments! I need help narrowing down my choices.

Off the Rack: Druzy Agate Ring at Target




During a quick trip to Target yesterday, I spotted a large-and-in-charge faux druzy agate ring that made my heart skip a beat. For just $7.99, this ring is an incredible bargain. It looks convincing real (really) and the band is expandable so you can wear it on any finger. Designers like Dara Ettinger have made rough-hewn stone jewelry really popular right now, melding nature and fashion into glamorous statement making pieces. I'd love to save up for an original but in the meantime, this Target ring will do.
