Off the Rack: February Shoe Highlights at Target


New shoes at Target

Didn't love the Peter Pilotto collection? Don't worry, there are tons of other ways to spend your hard-earned dollars at Target right now, starting with everyone's favorite: Shoes! I'm on a self-imposed shoe shopping ban (my teeny tiny 1930s closet runneth over), but if I wasn't, I'd scoop up these Kami ankle boots in a unique, subtle shade of green ($28) and the Keagen ankle boot with on-trend cut-outs ($28), plus these Shelly perforated boots with cool buckle detailing ($28). But like I said, no more shoes for me until I make room for new additions.

Off the Rack: BB Reviews Peter Pilotto for Target


The Budget Babe reviews Peter Pilotto for Target

It's been a while since I reviewed a Target collaboration in person on account of me being pregnant, then too busy with a newborn to spend time galavanting in a dressing room like a teenager snapping selfies, but today I was up to my old tricks - and it felt good. Trying on the Peter Pilotto for Target collection in person reminded me why I love these lines - no matter where you live, if you live near a Target, you can pretend for just a few moments that you're somewhere more fashionable, somewhere where crazy prints are appreciated and boxy silhouettes are applauded. Sure, other shoppers may shake their heads in disapproval and walk by the racks without so much as a second glance, but you? You stop to take it all in because you love fashion and Target knows it.

Either way, take a look at how these celebrities wore pieces from the collection (probably gifted) at the launch party that was held in NYC earlier this week (did you catch our Instagrams?) for some styling inspiration.

HGTV addicts will be happy to learn that Cortney and Robert Novogratz (the husband and wife duo with 7 kids and a thriving design business) have launched a colorful collection of affordable dinnerware available exclusively at select Macy’s stores and macys.com. The Novogratz Dinnerware Collection mixes elements of modern and vintage style and includes plates, bowls, mugs, serving trays, and canisters, ranging in price from $9 to $29 (and it's already on sale!) I think this Wonderful Tray would be perfect for entertaining.
