[CHEAP VS CHIC] Topshop vs Valentino Studded Shoes

These Valentino studded shoes have been seen on the feet of many a Front Row attendee for a few seasons now. And now Topshop have created their own cheap version.

What do you think?

[INSPIRATION] Très Chic

When I spotted this look over on my newest blog crush, Trop Rouge, I was in fashion heaven. The Topshop dress is the perfect amount of sexy, glamour and easy chic. And the hat adds a little quirky detail:

[HOW TO] Wear Topshop X Opening Ceremony

With the entire country gripped by Olympic fever, it seems that the only way to dress right now is with a sporty and patriotic edge. If it’s not red, white and blue, I’m just not interested!! So Topshop x Opening Ceremony is something of a revelation – and right on the moment:

Of course, the only shoes you can possibly wear with the collection is with a pair of trainers. My top choice are a pair of Converse: high tops or low tops will work just as well.

How would you style the collection?

[LUST LIST] Topshop Bunting Necklace

Celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee and the Olympics this year by hanging out the bunting… around your neck!!! With this necklace from Topshop:

[GET THE LOOK FOR LESS] Animal Print Ballet Pumps

I spotted this look on Alexa Chung late last year and loved the ballet flats she was wearing, so imagine my joy when I spotted these look-a-likes in the Topshop sale for just £25!

[BARGAIN OF THE DAY] Topshop NewGen Tees

If you go down to Somerset House today or tomorrow, or online to Topshop.com, you’ll be in for a stylish surprise… for the past decade Topshop has been sponsoring NewGen designers at London Fashion Week – and announced at the end of the last week that they would be doing so for another 10 years – and have asked these designers to design a limited edition tee for a new collection. Each t-shirt retails for £30 – and there are also a number of sweatshirts for £40. When I was in London at the weekend, I picked up the Holly Fulton tee:

Cheap vs Chic: Dorothy Perkins vs Chinti & Parker

I have already mentioned this (below right) star jumper by Chinti and Parker on the blog but £350 was a little out of my budget, so I have been on the hunt for a similar budget option and think I might have found one:

This star jumper by Dorothy Perkins is less than a tenth of the cost of the Chinti and Parker jumper but is it as chic?

Cheap vs Chic: Topshop vs Isabel Marant

One of my favourite bloggers, Paula of PinkBow has been sporting a fabulous pair of flat leopard print ankle boots by iconic French brand Isabel Marant a lot recently – in a lovely off-bright pink. My budget won’t necessarily stretch to the Isabel Marant booties, lovely as they are, so I was pleased to spot this cheap and chic alternative leopard print flat boots from Topshop:

What do you think? Will you be going cheap or chic?

Cheap vs Chic: Topshop vs Celine

I spotted these black and white slipper-style heels by Céline in Grazia magazine recently, but obviously they are a little on the expensive side, so I was excited to find a similar pair at Topshop:

When it comes to shoes, I often think that it is worth spending a little more but in this case, in my opinion, the Topshop heels are cheap and chic.

How about you?
