Celeb Style Bargain: You Won't Believe Alexandra Daddario's Crochet Dress is Under $30

Alexandra Daddario wears a Forever 21 Floral Crochet Midi Dress while attending Photographs by Kelly Klein, at BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood, California on January 8, 2016
We love a good celebrity style bargain around here, and could not believe that actress Alexandra Daddario's gorgeous black crochet lace dress is just $29.90 at forever21.com. Lace overlays are very on-trend right now, lending a demure yet sexy look to simple silhouettes. And the floral crochet detailing on this budget-friendly frock looks too luxe to be true! But it is, my friends, and it comes in burgundy as well, which we think would be perfect for Valentine's Day. Click the image or link below to shop Alexandra's exact dress...

Ski-Lodge Chic: Kendra Wilkinson's Olive Parka and Plaid Shirt Look for Less

Kendra Wilkinson's plaid shirt and olive parka look for less
As celebs descended on Utah's Salt Lake City International Airport for the Sundance Film Festival, this outfit seen on Kendra Wilkinson caught my eye because it's totally something I would wear on a chilly New England winter day, too. Just layer a plaid shirt (ours is just $7 at Walmart) with an olive, fur trim parka for warmth. Then add all black extras for some edge, like skinny jeans and ankle boots. Also not seen in this photo is Kendra's stylish backpack, the current carrier of choice whether you're traveling far or staying close to home...and we found the perfect look for less at Tar-jay (looks great in real life, too!)

The Look for Less: Michael Kors Fur Pom Key Chain

The fur pom keychain trend that everyone's obsessed with has finally trickled down to Tar-jay. (See how Olivia Palermo styled hers here and here). You've probably already seen this look for less goin' viral on Instagram but here it is again in case you missed it. Baublebar has one as well for $10 (reg. $15) Just don't call it a rabbit foot.

Off the Rack: French Bull Luggage Collection for Target

French Bull NYC Luggage Collection at Target
During my last trip to Target, an endcap of brightly colored bags caught my eye by French Bull (@frenchbullnyc on Instagram). I wasn't familiar with this company, but here's what the Target website says: "Founded by Jackie Shapiro in 2002, French Bull is an inspired brand that elevates the ordinary to the extraordinary. French Bull’s mastery of pattern and color has enhanced a wide variety of everyday products. From the home to the street, French Bull’s iconic look and signature designs offer a sense of individualism, excitement, and pop. Live VIVID!" Judging by the prices for these bags ($129.99 for the 21" spinner luggage in Jet Set print), the quality must be better than usual. The overnight bag is $49.99 while the travel tote is just $39.99. If you're looking for a unique bag to add some color and personality to your travel style, check these out. There's even a super fun chevron diaper bag. My Missoni for Target suitcase is still in excellent condition after quite a bit of use - which is great - but sadly gives me no excuse to buy a new one. Few more pics after the jump...anyone scoop one of these beauties up?

The Who What Wear for Target Look Book is A Big Yawn

Who What Wear for Target lookbook
Maybe I'm sleep deprived but I just found the Who What Wear lookbook in my inbox and it's one big snooze-fest. I love Who What Wear co-founders Hillary Kerr and Katherine Power (I've followed them since I began blogging way back in the Stone Age) and I see they put a lot of thought into the collection - aiming to include the perfect trench, edgy moto jacket, and essential striped tee for their diehard fashionista fans - but the end result feels uninspired and lackluster. These aren't perfect basics nor are they eye-catching statement pieces. The prices, however, are certainly right, ranging from $14.99 to $49.99, and this is just the first of many installments to come. You can find the debut spring line at select Target stores and on Target.com starting Jan. 31 followed by new Who What Wear styles to be released the first week of every month. If you handpick the best pieces from each collection (such as the trench vest or mod blue moto jacket) I'm thinking this could turn into a very exciting new reason to shop at Target (as if we needed any more excuses).
