Gucci Platform Heel - Update!

2009-07-05T21:52:00.002+01:00

I made a post a few days ago about the Gucci S/S 09 platform heels.....but whilst out shopping on Friday I snapped a pic of these other look-a-like beauties! From Primark.....and only £18 if I remember rightly!

Chanel J12

2009-07-05T21:33:00.003+01:00

This white ceramic J12 watch retails at around £1800:

I bought this plastic look-a-like from Ice Watch whilst at Clothes Show Live in Birmingham last year. It cost me around £25 if I remember correctly and despite the difference in quality it looks rather similar! A list of their stockists can be found HERE.

Rick Owens Drape Front Jacket

2009-07-01T18:31:00.004+01:00

This heavenly Rick Owens draped jacket would cost you around £800-1000.

This warehouse version, also available in grey and cream, is 1/8 of the price at £150. Once you feel its soft supple leather you won't be able to resist! Buy HERE or at your local Warehouse outlet.

Gold Rolex Day Date

2009-07-01T18:00:00.004+01:00

This gold Rolex seen on the arm of many a celebrity and supermodel will set you back at least £10000.

I adore this feminine version from Guess, while still one of the priciest things I've posted about, costs £160 from ASOS. It's one to save up for, but it'll take you weeks and months rather than years like the Rolex! See it as a classic investment piece. Click HERE to buy.

Herve Leger Mesh Bandage Dress

2009-06-30T23:09:00.005+01:00

This Herve Leger (also known as Herve Leroux) dress worn my Megan Fox recently is sure to cost thousands!

This look for less from Topshop (also available in a short sleeved version) is just £38. Definitely one for the more confident of us but a great addition to the wardrobe that'll see you through many nights out at any nightclub or bar. Click HERE if you've just gotta have it....

Gucci Platform Heel

2009-06-29T15:02:00.003+01:00

These Gucci heels which stomped their way down the S/S 09 catwalk currently retail at Selfridges for around £600 in black, bronze and purple.

These Aldo Bevans are currently on sale in black at £44.98 and can be bought HERE.

Gucci Studded Heel

2009-06-29T14:33:00.007+01:00

These fierce Gucci heels from their F/W 08 collection retail at £585.

This look for less from Primark, available in brown and black on most highstreets, are just £15 - they also come in a flatter 1.5" wedge version. They are probably one of the best copies I've seen come out of Primark, and whilst they don't have the quality of their more expensive counterparts, at this price you can afford to wear them only a few times before resigning them to the back of the wardrobe!

Sex and the City Love Keyring

2009-06-29T14:11:00.004+01:00

This keyring by H.Stern was created exclusively for the movie and can be found at his New York store for a whopping £4125!

The almost exact copy from Accessorize is only £5. It's currently not available online, however I have seen it in practically all of their retail outlets - you can search for your local shop HERE. It might not be 18ct gold, but it's sure to liven up any boring bunch of keys.

Matthew Williamson Studded Belt

2009-06-29T13:56:00.008+01:00

This Matthew Williamson studded belt seen here on model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, part of the main line and also his H&M collaboration (now sold out), retails for £495.

This version from ASOS costs £15. Available in black and white (now £11), it's sure to toughen up any summer dress making it fit for a night out! Click HERE to buy.

Alexander Wang Donna Denim Hobo

2009-06-29T12:55:00.006+01:00

This must have bag of the season, seen on the likes of Lindsay Lohan, retails at around £550.

This look for less from ASOS retails at £27.50. It's lightwashed denim is bang on trend for S/S09 and it takes all the important design features of the Donna without being a downright copy. It's a bag I own myself and must say I've had a lot of use out of it, the pockets make it a practical but stylish bag which will look great with summer dresses or a leather jacket in the colder months.
