Switching up your accessories is one of the more affordable ways to update your look, and right now Target has a ton of fun summer hats, scarves, bags, jewelry and sunglasses that I'm loving for just that reason. My favorite picks include this colorful pom-pom tote, this woven peasant blouse and this straw fedora, all of which have that island-luxe Calypso-St.-Barth vibe. Other than that, things at my Target store felt a bit disorganized and disjointed in terms of trends, where everything seems to be "in" and the displays as a whole lacked cohesion. But dig around and you'll find some stuff worth buying.

As July rolls around, eager college freshmen start the hunt for the perfect dorm furniture and stock up on supplies for the first year of their adulthood. For the rest of us, this time of year also has its perks! Stores offer amazing deals and bring out the finest in fall selections. You may be thinking “I’m barely ready for my party on the 4th!” But, now is the time to think about projects you’d like to finish this summer and work on through the fall.

With an array of furniture with bright pops of color and nifty storage and supplies, you’ll be celebrating the start of the school year in more ways than one.

BB creams have been around for a few years now, but with so many options (both high-end and low-end) it’s hard to decipher what’s actually worth it! My two favorites?

Estee Lauder Daywear BB Cream SPF 35 is an AMAZING high-end option. It’s proven to fight free radical damage that leads to wrinkles, fine lines, etc. AND it illuminates the skin for fresh face. The one downside: it only comes in two shades but the brand claims that they suit a variety of different skin tones.

One of the biggest trends this season is black and white. The best part is it’s so easy to do—especially on a budget! When wearing the trend, you can keep it simple with solids or spice up your game with prints and textures. One great piece to get you started is a black and white shoe.
