Shop the Trend: 15 Floral Bags at Target

Shop the floral bag trend with these budget-friendly picks under $45 at Target.
I've been noticing a huge trend in floral print bags for spring at one of my not-so-secret favorite stores, Tar-jay! Sonia Kashuk's latest cosmetics bag line feature super bright pop art florals in orange and hot pink, while Merona is featuring a few new feminine floral prints on bags like this chic purse (which also comes in the most delicious solid colors, too). Since today is Valentine's Day, you can save 20% with code LOVE20 on almost all the 15 bags under $40 I've rounded up below! Go ahead, treat yourself...and let me know which new bags you're loving at Target!

Old Navy Spring 2017 Lookbook

See the Old Navy Spring 2017 Lookbook
Earlier I shared in-store pics of the latest spring styles at Old Navy, and now you can see them as styled for the Spring 2017 Lookbook (which was too big to share in its entirety, but these highlights should give you a plenty of inspiration!)

It's all about playful optimism with classics updated in bright colors, greenhouse charm (florals, ruffles, and embroidery) and a nod to all-things-nautical.

There are plenty of off-the-shoulder tops and dresses, fun graphic details, bold prints, and even stain resistant white denim to freshen your look.

You know I'm already a huge fan of this "Bon Voyage" sweatshirt, and this pineapple sweater got a lot of love from all of you on Instagram.

I'm also already plotting ways to wear colored denim now and later...always a sucker for mint skinnies, and how fun are the strawberry dust and yellow squash hues?!

I don't know about you but I'm pinning a bunch of these for styling ideas! Are you loving Old Navy's spring collection?

The Look for Less: Marc Jacobs 'Gotham' Saddle Bag

We love this A+ by Aldo camera bag at Target.
This A+ by Aldo bag is really just a fab find I came across during a recent Target run that also happens to look similar to a Marc Jacobs bag! #addedbonus

I love the striped strap and minimalist styling on the bag. When buying cheap bags, less is really more (and looks more expensive).

Choose from white or black to carry your camera as advertised or other essentials. It looked like it could easily fit a wallet, phone, keys, lip gloss and more.

The Look: Marc Jacobs 'Gotham' Saddle Bag, $450 at nordstrom.com

For Less: A+ by Aldo Camera Bag, $26.99 at target.com (Buy one get one 50% off for a limited time! See target.com for details.)

Big Apple Girlboss: Charlize Theron's All-Black Winter Look for Less

Charlize Theron looks chic in all black.
Charlize Theron was seen exiting her New York hotel looking like a city native in her all-black ensemble.

She paired a black button-front blouse with leather pants, added a collarless coat for warmth and finished the look with black pointy pumps, a structured black handbag and oversized sunglasses.

You may already have all the pieces necessary to create this sophisticated day to night look hanging in your closet, but if not, check out our pick for her blouse - it's a top seller at Loft and under $30!

Plus the bag we found is part of the Kate Spade Surprise Sale that's going on now - but act fast, this sale ends at midnight!
