Off the Rack: Fab Fall Shoes at Target




Yesterday I shared some of the fall fashion highlights I spotted recently at Target, and today I'm bringing you a look at some of the cute shoes that caught my eye. It was love at first sight when I spied the leopard loafers shown above ($19.99). I've been wanting this style for months, and previously bought a similar looking pair from Kohl's by Candies but was forced to return them because they were rubbing my ankles raw. Not cute. The Mossimo 'Vianca', however, feels soft and flexible, so I have high hopes. Other standout styles include Merona ballet flats in emerald green, a low wedge pump in dark teal blue (great for work), round toe mid-heel pumps in leopard and patent oxblood, and black ankle boots that range from edgy to elegant.

Have you picked up any shoes at Target recently?

But don't let the name throw you - it's just the latest spin on burgundy, a rich Merlot red that's bold yet classic and easy to wear. Miranda Kerr totes the trend with a Louis Vuitton bag, Claire Danes embraces the hue from head to toe in Lanvin Pre-Fall 2012, while Sophia Bush adds just a touch of color with her dark red pout. Here are some pieces I've rounded up under $100 to get you inspired to add a little oxblood red into your wardrobe this season:
