Target is rolling out a lot of adorable new additions for babies and big kids alike - just yesterday marked the official launch of Pillowfort, a new kids decor line that's modern and chic (see my earlier post here for pics). And during my last trip to the store I spotted an end-cap displaying a few pieces from Oh Joy! for Target's nursery collection. Created with blogger and designer, Joy Cho, the line includes crib sheets, changing pad covers, swaddle blankets, security blankets, diaper bags, picture frames and more. The vibe is modern, trendy and colorful and perfect for your Instagram feed. I've got all my baby gear essentials but wouldn't mind buying some accent pieces like the 'OK' vase set or Heart LED Night Light...I bet it's perfect for providing just enough light for late-night diaper changes and nursing sessions in the early days with a newborn when you're still not quite accustomed to "seeing" in the dark.

Keep reading for a few more in-store pics, and check out the complete collection online at target.com. See also my post on Oh Joy! for Target limited-edition artwork.

Target has been rolling out their spring shoes (see my posts here and here) and now even more adorable styles have cropped up. I could see myself wearing the Merona 'Elke' ($22.99 in gold, cognac or black), 'Eve' demi-wedge ($24.99 in red/brown, black, brown or navy stripe/brown), and 'Indra' ($27.99, black or cognac) all summer long with jeans, shorts or dresses. Styles like the 'Kady' lace-up flats are on-trend and no less wearable. A must-have for spring 2016. From Mossimo, the 'Gretchen' ($29.99) is a high-fashion look for less that I think you'll love, while the casual 'Sonora' ($19.99) is especially tempting in navy stripe. I'd say we've got some good options going forward this spring, what do you think??

Thanks to a Facebook message from alert reader June G., I discovered new shoe arrivals by DV Dolce Vita at my local Target. From espadrille flats to wedge sandals and metallic thongs, these affordable spring shoes are all kinds of amazing. I can't speak to comfort but by looks alone I'm loving just about every single pair. DV really speaks to my personal style, on trend without looking trendy, wearable but not boring. Take a look at my in store pics and I think you'll agree. The DV Skye espadrilles (shown above) are especially good looking in real life, and also come in brown for $24.99. And don't get me started on the Paige flats. Yes. Please! Have you seen these in stores yet? Shop all DV for Target (including bags!) online at target.com.
