Balancing the budget: Jessica Alba splashes out on a fancy lunch but makes up for it with a trip to discount retailer Target

She may be a Hollywood star but it seems that even Jessica Alba can be budget conscious.
After treating herself and her daughters to lunch at upscale restaurant Tavern, the mother-of-two headed to discount retailer Target to pick up some books.
Wearing a pair of off-white jeans with an off the shoulder white jumper and matching high-top sneakers, the fashion conscious star carried her youngest daughter on one hip as they left the Brentwood hot spot.

The Fantastic Four star and her children Honor and Haven dined with friends at the chic eatery, which is also a favourite of Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Garner and Gwyneth Paltrow's.
But while the actress-turned- entrepreneur is estimated to have a net worth of $40 million, she has made a point of staying grounded and teaching her children that they need to give back.
'We talk about keeping [Honor] humble and not trying to over spoil her and letting her understand that there are people that don’t have what she has,' Jessica told People last year.

On Saturday the foxy Sin City star was out again with her two girls. 

But it appeared that Alba's daughter Haven was feline in the mood for something a little different, as she wore a cat-eared hat on an outing in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The one-year-old looked impossibly cute in her all grey outfit and woollen headgear as her mother carried her during a trip to Beverly Hills.

Paws for thought: Jessica Alba no doubt weighed up her options before putting a cat hat on Haven's head for an outing in Beverly Hills on Friday

They were joined by Jessica's oldest child Honor as they enjoyed a stroll in the cool December weather.

The Fantastic Four favourite looked as cheerful as ever as the terrific trio spent some quality time together.
She managed to look amazingly stylish for a Saturday outing in a grey woollen jacket, blue scarf, jeans and knee high boots.

Honor, four, also looked adorable in a pink jacket, skirt and matching shoes.
Jessica has a busy schedule coming up, as she stars in a number of film projects, including the star-studded sequel Machete Kills where she'll join Danny Trejo, Sofía Vergara, Mel Gibson, Vanessa Hudgens, Charlie Sheen, and Lady Gaga.
In the highly-anticipated Robert Rodriguez flick, the U.S. government recruits Machete (Trejo) to battle his way through Mexico in order to take down an arms dealer (Gibson) who's set to launch a weapon into space.
She'll also play tattooed Michelle in a movie called A.C.O.D., in which Jessica stars alongside Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, and Amy Poehler.
