Marc Jacobs for Target: as part of the highly anticipated “Neiman Marcus + Target Holiday 24 Collection,” this is a great chance to pick out some designer digs for a fraction of the cost. The line is also marked down to 50% off now, being so close to the holidays.

Metallic watches: add some flair to your wrist by swapping in a shiny watch instead of your usual bangles and bracelets. Although we might be depedent on cell phones to check the time, these rose gold watches from Macy’s are a stylish alternative.
