Topshop vs. New Look!

 Based on my previous post about A/W back to college fashion, I decided to see if it was possible to recreate the Topshop look from other retailers for a more 'Student' budget.
Here's how I got on:

All items from New Look except scarf and snake cuff.

I made a saving of £83.55 just by shopping around! I think the looks are very similar. What do you think? :)

Do you shop around for the best prices when buying outfits? Or do you stay loyal to a brand and buy everything from there?

A very wearable look for A/W '11

All Topshop

My prom look

So I'm only just getting around to showing you my prom look! It's been almost a month since the big night- so I decided it was about time to share what I wore with you.

I did my make-up myself as I trusted myself to get it right!

Make-up

Primer - No7 Shine Free Primer

Foundation - Benefit Some Kind-a Gorgeous Lite

Blush - Bare Minerals blush in Kiss

Lips - Clinique lipstick in Wow Violet with some MAC Vegas Volt on top

Concealer - Rimmel Hide The Blemish in Ivory

Eyes - Bare Minerals in 'Nurture' 'Smoke' and 'Winter White'

Dress

Lipsy Pixie Tier Dress - £75

Hair

Spiral curls with flower pins from Boots.

Styled by a local salon last minute following a hair disaster courtesy of my mum!

I was so happy with the whole look, I felt really confident and had a great night!

Did anyone else have their prom recently?

Thanks for reading! :)

Best of: High Street A/W 2011 collections

Hello to all my new followers! I've had a surge of enthusiasm towards blogging seeing people supporting me and what I write - so thank you all!

As I'm sure you've seen, in the past week or so the high street stores have been releasing previews of their Autumn/Winter collections. I'm just going to give you a brief lowdown of my favourite pieces from the main retailers.

New Look

Boxy cardigan -  £22.99

Button front skirt - £22.99

Boohoo

Roll up sleeve jacket - £30

Dorothy Perkins

Balloon sleeve dress - £26

Laser cut boots - £32

                           Topshop

Star print tee - £32

Contrast sleeve leather jacket - £150

River Island

Ankle borg boots - £74.99

Long line blazer - £55

It's unusual to be able to say that each high street retailer (and Boohoo!) has something I would genuinely wear. I'm happy with each collection because each brings something individual to A/W 2011.

Thanks for reading!
