Guess what? Thakoon's affordable diffusion line debuts at Target next month! We know, the excitement is almost uncontrollable especially after checking out some of the pieces in Target's look book.

We're all a little strapped for cash these days but that doesn't mean you find some killer holiday gifts under 20 dollars. The trick is to shop retailers you know go low, have funky finds and offer useful, unisex gifts. Let's take a look at some gifts we've gathered from stores like Urban Outfitters, Sephora, American Apparel, and Target.

Broke fashionistas everywhere, rejoice -- Alexander McQueen is coming to Target! The internationally renowned designer will be doing a line called McQ for the retail giant as part of a new program they're starting.

Since when do designers design their own knockoffs?

Roll over the image at right to see if this is an Anya Hindmarch Handle Bag for $1,170 from Saks, or an Anya Hindmarch for Target Medium Satchel for $44.99.

And read on to see the other.

Times are tough. But it doesn't mean your wardrobe has to suffer. There are plenty of amazing designers and celebs doing lines for less. You can still round out your winter wardrobe with these affordable lines.

While the season's hottest hue might be purple, gray is coming in a very close second, and with good reason. It's neutral enough to go with practically everything, it can go casual or dressy, and in the right shade, it can work with any skin tone.

Often, when an inexpensive item tries to look rather high-end, it doesn't really work. And probably if you were to look really, really close at this Merona Red Exotic Megan bag, $29.99 at Target, you'd be able to tell that it's not from a swanky boutique, but you know what? Who looks that closely at your bag?

There's not much that's more luxurious than cashmere. And, if you're a bit of a prep, as we are, you'll find this Mossimo Cashmere Argyle Scarf to be just as fabulous a find as we do.

Halloween is right around the corner, and while not everyone can (or wants to) wear a costume to work or school on the big day, that doesn't mean you can't get in the spooky spirit. And no, we're not suggesting bat earrings or a ghost sweater -- colors and textures can convey the right idea with a lot less kitsch, which is what we'll focus on this week.

Remember when Halloween wasn't all about downing orange and black jello shots and showing as much skin as the weather would allow?

Ah, one of our favorites. California girl Cameron Diaz always manages to get the perfect mix of fun, casual, sophistication. Here she walked the red carpet in Seven for all Mankind jeans with a simple Thom Browne top. To add a little color she wore strappy red heels and a beautiful red lip.

As the world of fashion reacts to the tanking economy, some high-end players are making bold new compromises partnerships in order to break into a recession-friendly lower price point. For example, in an attempt to scoop up some consumers that will be broke bargain shopping for the foreseeable future (like us), Esteé Lauder will be launching a trio of fragrances exclusively at the fashion hub that is Wal-Mart.

The new line will be sold under the name C-Thru, as in the bottles are transparent -- or as in 'wow, the economy must really suck for Esteé Lauder to make such a transparent attempt to reach out to Wal-Mart shoppers.' While the move is totally uncharacteristic for the historically highbrow cosmetics firm, launching a Wal-Mart line is probably one of their best chances to grow in these tough times.



The C-Thru trio will consist of gem-inspired fragrances like Ruby, Purple Diamond, and Blue Opal. After their exclusive launch at Wal-Mart this December, EL's low-end fragrances will eventually be sold at other luxury stores such as Kohl's and Target. Weird.

As soon as we feel that touch of crispness in the air, we just feel like fall. We want to decorate our homes in autumnal colors, we want the leaves to start changing into those magically beautiful colors, and we want to adorn ourselves with accessories that remind us of fall.

Now, fall colors might not work for everyone, but leaf accessories certainly do, and we can't beat this Dean Harris for Target Sterling Silver Leaf Pendant Necklace -- it's only $29.99! And, there are matching earrings, too.
