Classy Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner and this time I'm going all out! (clothing wise).
All i ever hear is designer, designer, designer!
There's just one thing.. MONEY. So today's blog post is about finding alternative, high street prices for the designer clothes we all love.

1. First, (and to me a winter necessity) is a Burberry trench coat.

I know, your initial thought when hearing the word "Burberry" is the echo of cash registers. But, what if I told you that a burberry outlet located in Hackney, East London sold items for less than half price than in most burberry stores.

I visited last week and fell in love with my burberry mac, and found some lovely other pieces with it.  E.g. Shirts for £30 and jumpers for £50. Did you say bargain?!

2. An obvious Christmas essential is a wool scarf, something you could never, ever go wrong with! 

 
Recently, I've found myself wearing a lot more of my Farah Vintage navy wool scarf. I've found this scarf matches almost every outfit. whether you're going to an elite red carpet event or to the corner shop. However, if you're looking for a cheaper alternative I'm sure you could find a similar scarf anywhere! The one I found above is from Topman for £14.




3. Chelsea Boots for the win!

After drooling over a pair of leather Chelsea boots for months, but being let down after seeing the price tag I finally came to my senses and checked Ebay. Not only did I find a pair of black Chelsea boots, but real leather too! and wait for it... only £20!

Chelsea boots are an essential for strutting around King's Road, Selfridges and the the streets of the Upper East Side in NYC.





4. The Basics.

H&M Fall-Winter 2014

 H&M is one of my recent favourites. I've always had a love hate relationship with the shop, but now I think It's brilliant! H&M is always my favourite place to buy basic pieces of clothing like sweaters, Trousers and T-shirts because not only are they cheap, but they're nice and look expensive too!









5. Suit me up.

Every man needs a suit, but it's hard to find a good one when most suits are ridiculously overpriced!
I would suggest Tkmax or Topman. Tk's has a HUGE range of designer suits for so much cheaper than you would expect! give it a try, you never know what you could find. I found an authentic Rochas Paris suit for £90.
What many people don't know about Topman is their range of fantastic fitting suits starting at only £40!
