I know summer is short, but I can't help but feel the urge to shop when it's hot out and I can finally wear cute dresses and skirts and not have to add 10 layers of warmth that (more often than not) ruin my "look." So even though I'm almost 20 weeks pregnant, I was browsing the fashion department in full force. From Xhilaration, I spotted the cutest tribal print matching top and short sets (similar). Mossimo delivered these pleated pastel maxi dresses which are perfect for day or night (think wedding guest attire!) And Merona showcased a crepe cami in a classy leopard print that looks expensive and is oh-so-versatile. I'll let my photos do the talking - keep reading to see what else caught my eye at Target this July, and see if anything tempts you to want to shop summer styles while you still can!

Emmy Rossum recently turned heads with this neutral ensemble accented with a bold blue satchel. The light-layered jacket and bright cerulean bag are perfect for summer and will ensure all eyes are on your sophisticated and fun style! The black flats, jeans, tank and silver jewelry are closet staples and can be used to create countless looks with your existing wardrobe. These pieces may even be something you already own since they are such basic essentials! So what are you waiting for? Get the look for less with these curated finds ranging from $10 - $60.

The swimsuit that's been all over my Instagram feed this summer (because it's on the toned and tanned bodies of seemingly every fashion blogger I follow) is by an Australian brand called Triangl. You know the one - sporty yet super sexy neoprene bikinis in bright colors with graphic black trim. Kudos to the brand for using social media to position their instantly recognizable two-pieces on everyone's hot list this season. Naturally, there are tons of knockoffs out there, too. If you're looking for a similar look with a lower pricetag (the Triangle suit above is $79) and don't want to risk ordering a dupe from an overseas company with questionable sizing/return policies, I found a bunch of looks for less at Target. Can you spot the real designer suit above? Click a link below to find out, then keep reading for 11 more budget-friendly options!

Forever 21, one of the largest independent fashion retailers in the world, has expanded The Branded Shop on Forever21.com to offer over 100 women's and men's fashion, beauty and lifestyle labels.

If I had my way, I would spend every day of summer in a swimsuit and a cover up. But summer also means lots of opportunities for gatherings and occasions that require more than a bikini. Many of you may be familiar with JustFab for their knockout handbags and shoes for less. If you haven’t branched out to their other options, Budget Babes will be pleased to find that JF has you covered for summer clothing, too, with a growing assortment of affordable dresses, tops, bottoms - even swimwear. Recently I had the chance to review a few pieces, courtesy of JustFab - read on for more details!
