The Hidden Gems of Fashion at Target

Let me start off this post by saying it has been a long time coming! I have a serious obsession with Target, actually even that is an understatement. I LOVE target and frequent the store often. I actually spend a lot of time and energy attempting to find these amazing deals and things I have seen on the web from pinterest and/or instagram. If you haven't already check out the hashtag #targetdollarspot or #targetdoesitagain and prepared to be blown away by all the wonderful secrets hiding at Target! 

For Starters you all remember my obsession with bows, right?! Well I LOVE to purchase my hair accessories from the kid section of the dollar spot or the kid section in general. The perk- they are smaller sizes so are simpler and therefore create more of an understated look. ALSO they are ALWAYS under $10. Which is just what I need because I loose all my hair accessories. For example, y'all remember this gold bow I've styled here. This was a target steal 2 for $1. How could you not get them?

Another steal from the dollar section was this adorable travel mug? How perfect is it?! 

Lastly, have you tried these tights yet? If there is one thing  you purchase from today's post these should be it! They are the best! They come in a wide variety of colors and are under $10!!! See how I stayed my purple pair here. They are so comfortable and a great thickness. They have survived the snags of trying to get in and out of Kindergarten chairs and the pull of rain or riding boots. They are perfect for any working gal. I recommended them to my bestie, who is currently working on Med School recommendations and she loves them! She actually helped convince me to write this post about the deals and steals of Target! 

I hope you enjoyed today's post. There will be many more to follow as my obsession with Target continues. Please comment below and share what your must-have's from Target are!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow




Just as I was saying I could do without snow, we got our first snowfall of the year this weekend and of course I had to go outside and enjoy it! I forgot how much I do love snow...as long as I don't have to drive in it. There is a calming, peaceful, and beautiful presence when those first flakes begin to fall! And just for this post because it was the first official snowfall of the year I brought back the red hunter boots. I mean after all my blog name is Roses & Rain Boots so it is safe to assume that you will be seeing a lot of both of those!


If you haven't already gotten around to purchasing this scarf-do it! It goes with everything! It also has to be one of the most popular blanket scarves so there are tons of suggested outfits on pinterest and other fashion blogs to get you started too. 



I'm also wearing Zella live-in leggings. These are a great buy. They are extra thick (which if you haven't discovered yet is a big deal for me). And if that hasn't sold you they are perfect for regular wear as well as working out. Even after a run they don't show any sweat marks. My rain jacket is from the Gap. I love the red on red combo. Lastly, my striped long sleeve shirt is from Loft, another staple in my wardrobe. 




Hope you had a wonderful weekend and got to enjoy some of the snow too! Thanks for checking in!!
