Spot the Real: J.Crew 'Malta' Sandal


Can you spot the real J.Crew sandals?

This summer is truly all about the simple sandal, with slip-on slides leading the pack. If classic Birks are too earthy, then J.Crew's "Malta" ($78) sandal is your muse - two streamlined leather straps on a barely-there sole. Recently I spotted a lookalike that's also made from genuine leather and will save you about $18. Can you guess which is the real J.Crew sandal? Click a link below to find out!

Summer Prep Decor Collection at Target

Typically after scoping out a big designer collab launch, I wander around Target and find plenty of other items to waster...er...spend my money on instead. Oftentimes I'll find clothing and even housewares that's reminiscent of the designer collab, but at lower pricepoints. This was definitely the case yesterday when I spotted the Summer Prep Decor Collection in a palette of hot pink, navy white and gold, with a nautical beachy theme, it reminded me of Lilly Pulitzer - and may even be cuter! Highlights include a lobster throw pillow, sea urchin sculpture and gold coral figurine. Totally Instagram worthy! Everything's priced from $9.99-$99.99 and is an additional 10% off online with code VIP. Browse 25+ in-store pics after the jump!
