We Found The Sweetest Thing's Fur-Trim Ankle Boots at Target (Well, Sort of!)

Find out where to buy the cutest winter boots under $20!
When I came across Emily Gemma from The Sweetest Thing wearing her Cecelia New York 'Hailey' Genuine Fox Fur Wedge Boots on Instagram, I thought they were just the cutest winter boots ever.

With a sexy yet comfy-looking wedge and luxe fur trim, they're a unique and chic winter boot option that's a far cry from your typical clunky snow boot.

So imagine my surprise when I was at Target and spotted a near identical lookalike: The Merona 'Jaden' Wedge Lace-Up Boots! They're available in black or tan for just $19.99.

Unfortunately, Emily's exact boots are sold out (maybe because her Instagram post got nearly 15,000 likes!) but she lists some good alternatives on her blog.

Whether you prefer faux fur or just want to spend less on this look, head to Target.com to scoop up these amazing ankle booties.

And be sure to visit The Sweetest Thing for styling inspiration from Emily.

Snowstorm Chic: Julianne Hough's Parka and Snow Boots Look for Less

Julianne Hough looks winter chic in a parka and snow boots.
While all eyes were on the Golden Globes red carpet last night, I'm interested in emulating Julianne Hough's latest airport look: Her fur-trim parka and snow boots look is perfect for the winter storm weather we just had here in Connecticut!

Don't get me wrong, I love red carpet fashion (Mandy Moore, Olivia Culpo, Priyanka Chopra, Lily Collins and Kerry Washington were among my favorites) - but I could really use a new pair of snow boots right now. This pair at Target has that rugged-cool look that Julianne is sporting, for under $20!

Epic Proportions: Sienna Miller's Skirt Pants and Sneakers Look for Less

See how to recreate Sienna Miller's eclectic airport style with pieces starting at just $15.
Sienna Miller paired wide-leg skirt pants with Adidas Stan Smith sneakers as she made her way through Los Angeles International Airport this week.

Although the skinny jean has reigned supreme among celebs for the past decade now, it's always refreshing to see a bold wide-leg pant, and Sienna knows exactly how to style them.

Sporty Stan Smiths give the look a cool, downtown vibe, while her wide-sleeve t-shirt complements the exaggerated proportions of her cropped trousers.

And maybe she's itching for spring, too, choosing to carry a bright yellow tote bag with her otherwise black and white outfit choices.

If you're up for new silhouettes in 2017, check out our look for less finds, starting with lookalike pants under $40 at Uniqlo!
