Budget Designer Alert: Sigerson Morrison Shoes Now Online at Target.com

What: Sigerson Morrison shoes now online at Target.com

The Lowdown: Last month, we reported that the next big designer footwear line for Target from Sigerson Morrison was on its way, and those styles on now online. Boasting not-for-the-meek color, sparkle, and shine, the collection is just in time to get us ready (on a budget) for the upcoming holiday season—and most styles would be the perfect match for your super versatile Little Black Dress (LBD). Pick from booties, peep toes, pumps and flats—and remember, with these kinds of eye-catching details, you don’t need to go crazy with additional accessories, which means these shoes give you a whole lotta bang for your buck. And in these financial times? That’s what we’re talking about.

Three picks we dig:

Divya Crystal Pumps, $36.99

Rocksie Jeweled Flats, $29.99

Electtra Suede Booties, $39.99
