While some celebrities — including Ruby Maguire in her red Saltwater sandals ($36) – are already full-swing into the spring season, others are just starting to browse the stores for great footwear. Fortunately, this year, keeping up with the Joneses doesn’t mean spending the extra cash!
As actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon and her husband Mike Nilon prove, one quick Target run later and your children will soon be sporting the looks of the stars. Check out Jax Joseph‘s (green) Circo Davidson Sport Sandal ($13) and Jaid Thomas‘ (blue) Circo Darius Sport Sandal ($15)!

With K-Mart and Target offering great selections at even better prices, don’t be afraid to check out higher end stores for irresistible deals as well!
