Cute Clutches

With Spring well in session, but with drab winter colors still littering the high-street, the only thing that can save your favorite outfit now is a clutch... you know what you have to do.

This clutch  is the perfect  addition to your outdated winter outfit, adding a splash of colour yet effortlessly pulling off the understated look... pair it with a blazer and shorts, along with your fave blouse and you've got an up to date spring fresh look. Add a pair of would-be designer sunglasses, massively over-sized and you'll be stopped in the street, or followed by paparazzi mistaking you for celebrities. You can find it in the Jil Sander fall 2012 collection

This clutch can add elegance and sophistication to an outfit, but you might want to add it to an outfit with something more colorful already in it, because this spring it's all about colour. You can get it from Oscar de la Renta's Fall 2012 collection.

This Alexander Mcqueen masterpiece will be sure to add  a touch of sophistication and  chic to any outfit, but I think it 'll look best paired with a black jumpsuit or dress and a blazer for the perfect out-on-the-town nighttime look. True, the oufit won't scream spring freshness, but it will at some classic chic style to your wardrobe. Or of you'd rather, pop on some pastel green shoes, tight trousers and a blouse for a freshened up look that'll have people mistaking you for the editor of... just about any high end fashion magazine! Pick it up fro the Alexander Mcqueen Fall 2012 collection.

This fresh looking clutch is all you need to add a refreshing splash of colour to your outdated winter outfits, bringing them back on trend, and looking new as ever. The green colour means you can't really wear it with anything red or orange, but other than that you can't go wrong. I'd wear it with a white tiered skirt, in a light, flowing material, with a lace collared blouse under an pastel green jumper (a VERY light green, no darker than the clutch itself) for a look that's fine for most occasions. Wear it with flats for everyday, and shiny silver heels at nighttime for an all-round refreshing look. You can find this one in Sara Battaglia's fall 2012 collection.

This Fuchsia pastel DKNY clutch is the prefect shape, size, print and colour. I'm in love with the ostrich print , and the pretty colour finishes the clutch off fantastically. Wear it with just about anything, and  it will look amazing. I'm suggesting you wear it matched with some fuchsia heels, a pencil skirt and a blouse, and of course a blazer (are you starting to see a theme here?) for a daytime, work wardrobe wonder, professional look. If you want a more laid back but none the less stunning look, wear it with leather or wet-look leggings, a plain strappy top, and your favorite jacket. Viola!



Catwalk Clones

It's Monday, It's raining (well, it is where I live...) and there's four days of school until the weekend. So, naturally, it's time to cheer myself (and you) up by picking out some of the latest catwalk copies. whichever way you see it, bargain central or annoying knock-offs, you'll agree the likeness is uncanny, and there's no denying that these high-street looks... are catwalk clones!

The Original: A Lanvin dress, decorated with a Swarovski crystal snake around the neck, costing a pricey £4,032, but hey, you get what you pay for with this stunning dress.

The Versace Knockoffs make a reappearance...


Remember that Versace dress Katy Perry wore and the knockoff that was spotted - (if you don't - READ THE DAMN POST) well, I've spotted loads more copies cropping up on the highstreet, and as you can imagine, Gianni Versace must be feeling pretty hacked-off right about now...


The real deal - A cream/white Versace dress that Katy Perry was spotted wearing days before her messy breakup with Russel Brand...
The... well, there really is no nicer way of putting it... knockoff,  which can be found at Republic


A SECOND copy?!?

Designer Dresses V.S their highstreet lookalikes

Got a headache, so I thought it was about time I found some good ol' designer clothes and sought out their evil twins (highstreet versions, or knockoffs, if you're feeling mean) In truth, most of the things you buy from highstreet stores are based on or even downright copying more expensive designer items, and we don't even realise it...

It's 'twin' from topshop... the similarity is uncanny, isn't it?
