Rag & Bone makes some of the best booties, including the stunning "Harrow" ankle boot with an edgy buckle detail. They're edgy but not too edgy. Just right. Except for the price - the Harrow is $495 at stores like Shopbop.com or Nordstrom.com. Luckily, we've found 3 look for less options. Take your pick—you can't go wrong with this boot in any color!

2. DV by Dolce Vita 'Jaxen' Booties $128.95
3. Forever 21 Faux Suede Booties $36.80

There are sooo many shopping apps out these days, but one of them stands out above the rest for ease-of-use and the just-plain-fun factor: It's called Luvocracy for iOS 7 and you can download the mobile app for free in the App Store.

Why do I luv it? Quite simply, Luvocracy brings together cool products (from all over the web) and savvy shoppers so you can discover, shop, buy and share all in one place.

I think of it as "Pinterest for buying stuff." You follow people whose style you trust, discovering new products and stores in the process. For example, I just discovered Forever 21 sells a great dupe for Deborah Lippmann "Candy Shop" nail polish. And I found the perfect wedding anniversary gift for my husband (Japanese whisky - he's going to luv it!)

Earlier I shared some photos of the shoes at Target, now here's a look at some of the fashions. Nothing really screamed "buy me" but there were a few nice pieces worth noting. Let's start with the polka dot blazer by Merona (above, $34.99) - who can resist polka dots? Speaking of irresistible, the juniors section had a few trendy animal motif sweaters that made me smile (but I think I'm too old to actually wear a bunny sweater). Moving on - Mossimo has some of the most fashion forward pieces, included a black moto vest and plaid short sleeve sweater. Merona delivers great staples, like a pencil skirt in leopard print or houndstooth. And if you're looking for a basic denim jacket, cargo jacket or chambray shirt, you'll find all of them at Target for under $35 each.

Are the selections at Target a bit boring right now or is it just my store?

A chiffon trim sweatshirt by Clu is $205 at Net-a-porter.com. See how Cupcakes & Cashmere's Emily wears her olive green Clu sweatshirt here.

While this sweatshirt only comes in gray/pink or ivory/floral, it's a similar concept for a lot less. Shop it for just $24.99 at target.com.

The day before the 3.1 Phillip Lim launch, I made a quick trip to Target to see what was new in the shoe department. Ankle boots are still going strong and with good reason; you can wear them with skinny jeans and even certain skirts and dresses. They're cute and usually comfortable which is why I can never seem to have enough pairs! This season, I think the Mossimo "Kyla" buckle boots ($24.49, target.com) are really strong as well as the Merona "Kaitlin" olive green ankle boots ($24.49, target.com). Both look more expensive than they actually are, and the green coloration on the "Kaitlin" is a welcome change from taupe and black. In the pumps department, I am loving the Sam & Libby "Dominique" ($39.99, target.com) in cabernet - such a great color! The only thing lacking at my store was tall boots - I only spotted one pair and it wasn't too impressive.
