Earlier this week I visited Target to see if the new A+ by Aldo collection had made its debut yet, but sadly it had not. I've seen some pics on Instagram of the bags cropping up at other stores in other parts of the country but no luck in my area just yet. If you've seen the new Aldo shoes or bags, let me know, I'm dying to see them in real life! If you're as excited as me and can't wait to get your hands on some A+, you can shop a few styles online on sale (buy one get one half off!!)...but I'm waiting to try stuff on. I'm in love with the navy Emery boots and this Mulberry-inspired bag...drool.

Now's the perfect time to bring out your peep-toe booties as the season transitions from summer to fall. (Check out this post from House of Harper for inspiration on how to wear open-toe booties!) From Vince, we've got the gorgeous 'Addie' leather peep-toe bootie, $395 (neimanmarcus.com). The look for less is just $36.99 on sale elsewhere (down from $74.99). See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking either link below!

We're going to great lengths in this week’s Two Ways to Wear it column, as team Sydne Style shows us how to wear maxi skirts. The trend works whether you are petite like Sydne (left) or tall like Haley. Check out sydnestyle.com for more fashion inspo!

The maxi skirt is the perfect trend to transition from summer into fall. Maxi skirts are great because they are much more versatile than maxi dresses. They allow you the option to pick any top, adding a bit more of your own personal style into the outfit.

Maria Menounos showed up to Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour ready to rock. Everything about this outfit says rocker chic, from her metallic oxfords to her wine-hued hat. We stayed true to Maria's style by including the smaller details like her colored beaded bracelets, black crossbody and a similar graphic muscle tee. Maria's exact You Got A Friend Muscle Tee, retails for $90, is made by Juicy Couture founders Pam & Gela and for each tee purchased $10 is donated to Girls, Inc. Personally, I can't think of a better excuse to splurge on a shirt, especially since the other pieces in this look are so affordable! Read on to get the look for less...

My quest for the perfect fall boot continues, so last week I visited a Marshalls in a neighboring town that's a little more posh than my area and found lots of great options. Many of the styles I saw were identical to the fall boots I saw at my T.J. Maxx...not surprising since they're owned by the same company, but I was hoping for a little more diversity. Still, the selection is strong: Ankle boots from Steven Madden, Franco Sarto, Coach, Lucky Brand and Michael Michael Kors stood out on top (the MK boots above retail for $295 here).
