Earlier I shared some of my spring fashion picks under $20 at Kohl's, and now I've got a round-up of the best shoes - all under $40 (and most are actually under $30 after coupons!)

Hey Budget Babes!! My name is Maddie Kelley and I am so excited to be joining the team as an intern. I am a Wellesley College student currently studying abroad in London. My personal style is simple with a hint of edgy. My fashion is very inspired by my travels and street wear. I'm looking forward to your feedback and I can't wait to share my writing with all of you!

When I get to a new city, I’m always scanning the crowds for what everyone is wearing. I can’t walk by a single person without noticing their shoes, their bag, their jeans...basically every element of their outfit in order to understand what sets the city’s fashion apart from others.

London style is actually quite unique, especially in Soho, the fashion hub of London. Filled with fashion students, designers, and shoppers, the fashion style there is casual but cool and effortless yet sophisticated.

Here are three major trends I've seen while living abroad in London, plus budget-friendly pieces to help you get the look:

Statement sleeves are everything for spring, and Kiernan Shipka shows us exactly how to wear the bell sleeve trend while attending a Chanel event (presumably dressed in Chanel, too).

The formula for fashion trendsetters is to pair a bold sleeve with simple jeans and understated heels for a look that's feminine and fresh.



For my budget take, I picked a blouse from Chicwish - I see their tops all over Instagram and Pinterest. Each one is more unique and dramatic than the next!

Then I added these sandals from Who What Wear - it's a lower, more wearable heel. You might even call this style granny-chic but I think it looks high-end and balances the girly-ness of the top especially well.

I stopped at Kohl's this past weekend to see what was new and noteworthy. I forget how crowded it can be on the weekends. From the racks to the dressing rooms to the long checkout lines, it was not the most relaxing shopping experience. But I spotted a few cute pieces worth sharing, most notably the off-the-shoulder top you see above. It's the perfect take on this trend - committed to the look, but not over-the-top. The fabric is a nice cotton, it's comfy, you can dress it up or down, and it's just $20 on sale!

Well you guys, another day, another Target collab! I checked out the Victoria Beckham launch yesterday and probably posted way too many times on my Instagram Stories, so here's a recap plus some feedback I received from all of you. I love hearing everyone's take. Overall, it seems like people were loving the kids' clothing and having trouble with the fit of the women's collection. I went to my store at 2:30 in the afternoon because I woke up too late to go in the morning and then I got to church and I was like, ooooh right it's Palm Sunday (ie., longest mass ever), so I fully expected most items to be sold out but was hoping there'd be some stuff left - and sure enough, there was still plenty to choose from.
