The Budget Babe Reviews Marimekko for Target

Marimekko for Target
After months of anticipation, the Marimekko for Target collection finally launched on Sunday and in some ways already feels like old news (funny how that work in the fashion world)...but here's my review. I was able to get to my Target store late Sunday afternoon and found almost everything was still in stock in many sizes. I was the only one perusing the items. I personally love Marimekko and have for some time, so I was excited by this collab but still thought there was room for improvement. The fabrics were really cheap even by fast fashion standards. Think scratchy terrycloth and barely-there rayon.

Demi Lovato's Floral Pant and Blazer Look for Less

One of my favorite parts of spring is the return of bright colors and bold, playful patterns. Demi Lovato shows us exactly how to rock the trend, without looking outlandish. Demi styled her colorful printed wide-leg pant with a black crop top, a longline tuxedo blazer, gold statement jewelry and a red-orange lip. Demi's shoes aren't visible, but I can only assume she paired the look with matching black platform sandals. I love the balance between bold and simple elements in this ensemble, and Demi ensured that her pants were the center of attention by wearing black on top.



Silver and Suede: Jessica Alba's White Lace Midi and Moto Jacket Look for Less

Suede and lace are everywhere for spring, especially with the influence from music festival season. Jessica Alba demonstrates how to take the trend into day wear with her pairing of a suede moto jacket with a flowy white dress. I love how Jessica styles the piece with reflective pointed-toe pumps, large cat-eye sunglasses and a simple metallic silver clutch. The monochrome details of her accessories only emphasize the bright white of the lace midi. The use of suede, instead of leather, in her coat adds to the overall femininity of this outfit and keeps the look soft. Read on to get Jessica's look for less...

Looking sleek and chic, Selena Gomez shows us exactly how to style a classic bright yellow rain slicker. Serving some serious Curious-George-goes-couture vibes, Selena paired the coat with a simple white tee, kick-flare ankle jeans, tan suede pumps, blue beaded bracelets and a thin silver band choker. I love, love, love the practicality of the jacket especially for spring. I never would have thought to style my rain coat...normally it's just a last minute addition to an outfit after finding out the forecast calls for showers. Plus, nothing says spring like bright colors and I'm in love with this yellow. Read on to get Selena's look for less and grab our similar must-have rain slicker.
