My Target store finally started stocking its spring shoes and it's hard not to get excited. I love snow and winter (we went crosscountry skiing this weekend) but nothing beats the sensation of slipping into sandals after a long season of thick SmartWool socks and boots. Here's a breakdown of my favorite styles so far:

This past weekend I popped into T.J.Maxx and it seems like they're fully restocked and ready for the new year. I found more Rag & Bone v-neck sweater lookalikes (although the trend is waning by now), plaid and denim shirts by Paige for just $39.99 (kicking myself for not buying one), and MK Michael Kors leopard slip-on sneaks (but I like this pair by Mossimo more). The homegoods aisle was filled with things I "need" too like trendy message notebooks, adorable knick-knacks and fashionable rugs. Browse all the highlights from my shopping trip below and see if anything inspires you to want to shop, too!

My Urban Outfitters store still has a sizable winter sale going on, with everything from coats starting at $30 to oversized sweaters priced at $19.99. I'm trying to limit my purchases but was really tempted to buy this BDG patterned intarsia sweater ($19.99) and this vibrant take on a fair isle sweater ($19.99). As for regular priced new merchandise, they've got this amazing bucket bag ($59) that's a great Mansur Gavriel look for less and these perfect reversible vegan leather totes ($59). The black and red looks so high end. And for the home, this adorable "Hello" pillow ($29) begged to come home with me - it would look so cheery on a reading chair or couch. Sadly all I left with was a $24 Tobacco & Patchouli candle that my toddler accidentally broke when I let him out of his stroller (shame on me). Won't be doing that again.

Curious to know if Urban Outfitters' long litany of scandals have influenced your shopping habits at the store?
