This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Payless. All opinions are 100% mine.

This week I ventured to the mall with both my children (did I just write that?!)...luckily, Mama Budget Babe is in town to help me out, which is the only way I could have survived a trip like this. But I'm so glad we went...we saw Santa, had lunch, and did a little Christmas shopping, too. The Payless  store at my mall was completely decked out for the holidays. We're talking glitter pumps, bejeweled flats, metallic clutches, and the coziest slippers and boots - basically everything you need to put that perfect finishing touch on any holiday look - and nearly everything was 50% off.

If you're going to be in NYC around the holidays, Target is hosting a can't-miss, larger-than-life playground that you'll definitely want to make time to check out called Target Wonderland. Target is already my idea of a "wonderland" so I can only imagine the awesomeness of this retail experience, which features ten spectacles that allow kids and kids at heart to discover, play, and enjoy. Additionally, through the use of RFID technology, guests can add items to a digital shopping list and purchase at the end of the experience. Here, we've got photos from the VIP launch party where celebs including Kristen Bell, Camila Alves, Chrissy Teigen, Malin Ackerman and Neil Patrick Harris feted the launch. Beginning Wednesday, Dec. 9, through Dec. 22, Target Wonderland will be free and open to the public at 70 10th Avenue (at West 15th Street) in New York City. Hours of operation are Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. EST and Sunday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. EST. For more information, visit Target.com/Wonderland.

With holiday parties on the horizon until New Year's, you might be looking for that statement piece that will help you stand out from the crowd. Sure, you could opt for sequins or metallics, but why not a big, bold, faux fur coat? Not for wallflowers, Kylie Jenner's faux fur coat from GUESS makes a glamorous winter fashion statement. And it's under $200 which makes it budget-friendly to boot. Complete the look and treat yourself to Kylie's leather leggings by Marciano for $198 (which really isn't that bad for leggings that feature a genuine leather front panel). Life-of-the-party status is yours! Read on to shop Kylie's exact pieces...

Model Alessandra Ambrosio always nails boho chic, pairing flowy pieces with edgy extras for casual looks that are equal parts sexy and laid-back. Here she works the duster cardigan trend layering the longline sweater over a simple t-shirt and skinny jeans plus wedge booties. I love the black and white geometric print on her cardigan, a detail I tried to pick up with a tribal print bag instead. Love the look? Read on for the budget breakdown...
