Seeing Double: Olivia Palermo's Longline Vest and Denim-on-Denim Look for Less

Olivia Palermo's double denim and longline vest look for less
So, we may have featured Olivia Palermo two days in a row now, but we're pretty sure you won't mind. Does this fashion maven ever disappoint? Always on-trend, never trendy, Olivia updated her double denim with cognac pumps, a cherry red bag, and longline vest (see how Ashley Benson wore one of these awesome pieces of outerwear HERE). Olivia loves her fuzzy bag charms, too, so you can recycle the one we found at Topshop in yesterday's post and pop it onto today's ensemble. Read on for the complete look for less...

Knox Rose is the Latest Fashion Line to Land at Target

Knox Rose is a new boho fashion line at Target
You may have noticed a new in-house fashion brand at Target called Knox Rose, a boho mix of flowy knit tops, flyaway cardigans, peasant blouses and more that have landed for fall. While I wait to hear back from my PR contact for details on this new addition to the fashion department, I've snapped some photos off the rack that you can peruse below. Is this Target's answer to Free People? That's what came to mind as I reviewed Knox Rose in my mind. Some pieces are definitely stronger than others like the Aztec print cardigan (above) or the faux fleece vest (which I can't find online yet). All items seem to be available in plus-size, too, which is awesome news for shoppers. Prices seem on par with Target's other in-house brands like Mossimo and Merona. I like the sweaters with unique cut-outs as well as the extra long sweater vests, but will avoid some of the shapeless pieces that just don't flatter, and the super muted tones that can look muddy (or just downright inexpensive).

What do you think about Knox Rose? Have you checked it out or bought anything from this line yet?

Ashley Benson's sleeveless trench and houndstooth skirt look
When so many celebs opt for jeans and a t-shirt for their off-duty looks, it's refreshing to see Ashley Benson in a unique combination of unexpected silhouettes. We love how she's paired a sleeveless coat (also known as a longline vest or waistcoat) with a turtleneck top and mini skirt for a fresh take on the mod trend, complete with patent block heel ankle boots and retro-inspired sunglasses. A simple color palette keeps the Pretty Little Liars' outfit feeling polished and not overdone. Read on to get this look for less with finds starting at just $7...
