As soon as I discovered fashion blogger Lauren McBride (who also happens to be a Connecticut-based blogger and second-time new mom like myself), I was hooked on her relatable yet enviable style. This outfit - which is all over Pinterest - is a perfect example of her style: A mix of classic and cool, from the check shirt, to the on-trend faux fur vest, to the classic never-goes-out-of-style rain boots. To recreate her look for less, I found all the pieces I needed at Target. Finish the casual fall ensemble with some cozy leg warmers like this pair at Payless (just $6.49) and beanie ($7.49).

With most shoe stores, you have to wait for a sale to get a good deal...but not so with Payless. Whether it's a BOGO sale or the "Hot Deal" that's featured at the front of the store, Payless has the latest trends at prices that won't break the bank. Last week I stopped in to buy some new kicks for my little guy. A sweet sales associate helped measure his feet right away and I discovered that contrary to what this mom thought, he's a size 8...not a 7. Oops. Good thing we got that cleared up! He's outgrown all his summer sandals and slip-ons and was long overdue for some comfy fall shoes, so I got him a pair of brown/orange sneakers for just $12 on clearance, and the coolest little high-tops for $22.99 on sale. What's more, I got a coupon for $10 off $30 towards a future purchase at checkout - yay!

By now you've surely noticed that Target has given their One Spot a makeover, reorganizing the aisles, making it a bit bigger, and renaming it "Bullseye's Playground." My son was the first to notice the giant displays atop each shelf featuring Bullseye, Target's canine mascot, wriggling inside gift boxes. As Target reports on their blog, Bullseye's Playground will be a bit pricier, with items ranging from $1 to $5. Displays will update every 8 weeks around "holidays, seasonal mindset and kids." I don't love the price increases but I appreciate the fact that I can fit a cart around the aisle. On the other hand, the closed layout was better for containing my two-year old. Now if he wants to pick out toys, I have to chase him around in circles! It's the little things, right? Read on to see more pics I snapped at two Target locations near me. Do you like the new One Spot? Miss the old one? What changes would you like to see?

One of our favorite Victoria's Secret Angels, Martha Hunt, recently walked the city streets in this black and denim ensemble and gave us serious style envy. We love this edgy look since it strays far from her usual style, and her leg-lengthening booties and biker jacket are to die for. The original Isabel Marant Sade Booties retail for $1,385 but in our recreation we found similar shoes from Franco Sarto for $79! Read on to see the rest of our finds and get this look for less...

Back in October we reported that duck boots would be back in a big way this winter (SheFinds noted that L.L.Bean's iconic duck boots were already backordered as of the end of September). Sure enough, Target is selling a knockoff called the "Hudson" by Merona. The $49.99 pricetag is kinda steep for a budget boot - who knows how it will hold up compared to the guaranteed-for-life L.L.Bean duck boots ($109) - but if it's just the fashion look you're going for, then this may be the shoe for you.
