Cheap, Cheaper, Cheapest: Nude ankle strap heels

Lunchbreak Shopping: Target's Dollar Bins....

A couple of days ago, I popped into my local Target to pick up a few necessities. Not one to just walk into Target and get what I "need" (who does?), I browsed their "dollar bins" to see what hidden treasures I could find.  I rarely shop the "dollar bins", but when I do, I find some pretty cool stuff (like this floppy sun hat I got two years ago).  So many cute items, but I only brought home what I could "put to use".  Check them out!

 

accordion file folder //  "fashionista" mini notebook //  polka dot sunglasses (these were $3, but they are located in the dollar bins with the beach stuff //  plastic beach pouch

I also found some leopard print tin cups. They are currently sitting pretty on my desk at work, holding my pens and highlighters.  They're also available in a houndstooth print.

Do you shop Target's "dollar bins"?

Nifty Under $50: Galaxy prints

Is it me or are cosmic prints seem to be popping up everywhere? First seen in Christopher Kane's Resort 2011 collection, it was only a matter of time before this galactic trend hit the masses. This trend is growing on me and I found a few pieces that won't break the bank.  Even if you get tired of it before this season's over, at least you didn't spend a ridiculous amount of money on it.  What do you think of the galaxy print trend?

sheer cosmic print top $22.80, Forever 21+ //  galaxy racer back high low tank $16.90, Deb //  cosmical top $24, Miss KL //  galaxy print mini dress $29.99, Charlotte Russe //  galaxy print skater skirt $26.60, ASOS
