STUDDED MONK SHOES


After publishing my previous blog post (here), I really couldn't get these studded monk shoes out of my head, and finally caved. Considering that they were on sale, reduced from £35 to just £19, it was an offer I couldn't really pass up, especially since I've been after a simple pair of black brogues/loafers for ages. I needed some shoes that went with pretty much anything, especially my white jeans and mom jeans, which I usually find quite hard pairing with any of the shoes I already own. These babies are super comfortable but are also versatile and quite unique due to the studs and monk strap; a detail that I've been seeing all over the place recently.


I also picked up this grey jumper from H&M; like I don't have enough grey in my wardrobe - doh! In all seriousness, though, many of the grey jumpers I do own, I find quite restricting, either in size or fit, but this one is just perfect! It's slightly over-sized, but still feminine, extremely soft and also stretchy, which allows for more movement. 


I teamed the jeans and shoes with a simple V-neck tee from Primark (the boys' section of course) and added a hint of girliness (but not too much) with the Chanel dupe bag. It was given to me by my boyfriend's mum after a spring clean of her wardrobe. She told me it was a fake, so I'll take her word for it, but it honestly looks and feels as real as can be - such great quality, and such an awesome touch to a simple outfit!

I'm also loving the cute bracelets in Urban Outfitters recently! 


Next, I'm going to try and experiment with my monk shoes for a slightly more edgy and out-there look! Watch this space!

DESIGNER .VS. HIGH-STREET

I don't know about you, but over the past couple of months, I've definitely spent more time than I should lusting over shoes I will never be able to afford. So much time has been dedicated to scrolling dejectedly down pages and pages of gorgeous Alexander Wang shoes, but alas, they're so expensive that my time has never amounted to anything. 

But the truth is that if you look hard enough, the chances are that you'll find pretty much the same thing right on your door step. A vast number of high-street and online stores set out to dupe these designer beauties every season, for the benefit of those of us with slightly lighter wallets. I've picked out 7 of my favourites trending for Autumn/Winter 14-5. Enjoy!
