Earlier this week I checked out the latest offerings at New York & Company, a store I often overlook but it's a budget babe's "secret weapon" if you know what to look for (and what to avoid!).

This trip turned up lots of great outerwear options, like a tiered-hem wool trench ($149.95) inspired by Burberry and a luxe-looking faux shearling aviator jacket ($129.95 in-store, sold out online). Best part: All outerwear's on sale buy one, get one half off!

Other highlights included all-over sequin skirts, tanks and cardigans, veeeery popular right now for the holiday party season. New York & Company's options looked relatively luxe and carried a far lower pricetag than what you'd pay elsewhere. I was also loving the infinity or loop scarves and faux-fur muffs. Low-points for me personally had to be the handbags which look cheap for the most part. This area needs improvement.

For your viewing pleasure, here's the Mossimo for Target Fall 2010 Look Book, which highlights pieces you'll find in stores and online at target.com now until December. I'm a little late posting this as some items are no longer available but many still are and more are being released all the time. Prices range from $8 for a long-and-lean tank to $49.99 for a surplus jacket in army green. Gotta love a lookbook that's utterly affordable! I own the faux-leather skinny pants in Look 7, they don't make you sweat and they don't sag unlike some other pleather leggings I've tried. Kicking myself for not buying the motorcycle jacket in Look 4, very Vince-inspired. The boots in Look 8 are knock-offs of the Steve Madden 'Roady' which are knock-offs of a Charles David boot from last fall. Phew! I love the plaid coat in Look 8, too. Lots of great pieces, loads of great styling ideas!
