ABC News gives us our first look at the colossal Target x Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection, coming December 1, in the glowing report above. In case you forgot, the two fashion powerhouses from seemingly opposite ends of the retail spectrum have tapped 24 CFDA designers to create a collection of affordable yet highly covetable holiday gifts. We're talking 60 items priced mostly under $60 ranging from home decor to apparel by the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Diane von Furstenberg, Jason Wu, Proenza Schouler and many more. Watch the vid above for a sneak peek of what to expect, including a $49.99 DVF jewelry box and $79.99 Tracy Reese sequin and silk top.

Thanks to an alert reader, I discovered J.Crew offers a version of their famous bubble necklace at their outlet store locations as well as online at factory.jcrew.com. This "Factory Resin Droplet Necklace" comes in tangerine, red, cobalt or neon pink for $61.50 (down from $88). It measure 23 3/4", so it's pretty big.



Now, Charlotte Russe has a "mini" bubble necklace option for $12.99 in tangerine, aqua or black. NOTE: This necklace only measures 14" so it's significantly smaller. But both are cute! Click either image for details.

I am IN LOVE with this Haute Hippie floral sequin miniskirt (below), but not the $595 price tag. Have you seen any looks for less? —Nikki

I didn't think I'd find anything even remotely similar but guess what, I did! Behold:

Love 21 Retro Flower Sequined Skirt

Okay, so it's not identical but it is floral and it's covered in sequins. And it's just $24.80 at Forever21.com.

Looking for more unique sequin minis? Here are six fun options mostly under $25:

I have been looking all over for some leather-like coated denim that's less than $100. All of my go to places either don't have them or they're over $200, or right at it. Here are some styles I'm looking for… —Leah




7 For All Mankind Black Coated Jeans, $189; Rich & Skinny Jeans in Marsh Croc, $209; 7 For All Mankind Skinny Jeans in Burgundy Snake, $259

I'm a big fan of inexpensive jeans and luckily all the latest denim trends can be found at every price point this season!

Coated black jeans give the look of leather with the comfort and versatility of denim. The vibe may seem edgy at first but lots of stores that typically stock more classic clothes are showing coated denim for fall because they're a great update to the usual black pant, and easy to dress up for the holiday season. Check LOFT, The Limited and New York & Co. to find black coated denim under $80 (less if you wait for a sale and/or use a coupon):

This classic MICHAEL Michael Kors piped trench coat is $158 at Nordstrom.com, which is a steal when you consider how much you'll wear it.

Looking to pay a little less? Check out this Merona piped trench coat, just $49.99 at Target.com. I tried this coat on in person and thought the quality was really good for the price. If I didn't already own a khaki trench coat, I would have scooped it up.
