282. Versus.

Carven's classic circular bag has been a favourite of mine since discovering them whilst working at Rainbowwave PR. After recently visiting & Other Stories I noticed they did the exact same shape! These aren't the most normal shape to come by but they are definitely the chicest. Being able to put nothing more than your phone, lipstick and keys, it's perfect for a evening out for cocktails.

261. Versus

The gold chain, it's been a fashion staple in my wardrobe since I was 13. Still fashionable I suggest you invest in at least one. There's been a sudden influx of them in the last few months, with the likes of Rihanna wearing them. And the one that has been catching every fashionistas eye? The Celine id necklace one of course! It's chunky, over sized and obviously has to be from SS12 so is pretty darn hard to get hold of. So hard that I don't even know the real price. Word on the street they say they don't restock them but they secretly do and when they do they sell out just like that. Even if it was accessible to me, I bloody well couldn't afford it, so I'll be buying the Asos knock off.

Stella McCartney Vs Zara

Monochrome is always at the height of trends each summer and it's not going away this year. Zara have managed to interpret Stella McCartneys dress pretty well into a chic everyday dress.

Givenchy Vs Topshop

The Givenchy Antigona bag is an absolute classic, it's elegant, sturdy and a good size for you're everyday hangbag. And with a hefty price tag it's no wonder Topshop have finally done one of a similar style. Taking into a account the monochrome trend they've gone for a black and white look however the shape is pretty much bang on. How I will be lusting over the Givenchy, but may have to just purchase the Topshop...

Carven Vs Topshop

Carven have been setting the trends all year round and this season is no exception. Topshop have taken inspiration from their shoes and made them a lot more mainstream. This isn't the only styles they've taken inspiration from. Carven  have done the most incrediable t-bar platforms and they've filtered through to the high street well. Not going to lie, I do prefer the Carven ones as they look a lot more elegant but the Topshop ones are perfect for the teens who want to replicate the Carven feel.

Alexander Wang Vs Whistles

So a big trend is leather, and we've seen lots and lots of it. It's chic, expensive and has a sense of luxury about it without being over the top. Going with that is the bomber, previously posted about the Jil Sander bomber with the American apparel one, the high street and designers can't seem to get enough of it. I especially like the ones below. Sporty, edgy, androgynous and fresh. Personally my pocket isn't filled with too many coins right now...

Jil Sander Vs American Apparel

I was never a fan of the varsity jacket when they all became on trend however I do like the bomber jacket. They are of similar style and shape but the bomber jacket is slightly more fitting and a lot less bulky. This seasons bomber jacket is all about satins and a silky softer silhouette. They were all over the catwalks this season and Jonathan Saunders sported a very nice iridescent silver one. I got the American Apparel bomber in peacock and it looks great with neon's and blacks.

Miu miu is always on trend, each season she sets off a new trend and always succeeds. Their sunglasses are pretty much a hit. Ok so apart from the fact the cheaper ones are black and not glittery they are exactly the same! Look at the shape of the frames and the metal detail. BOOM.

So we all want to bring a bit of summer to our wardrobe even if the weather still is shit in the middle of June! I've previously posted a piece from Alexander Wangs S/S 12 collection and River Island have done a similar shirt. Ok basically spitting image if you squint a little. But still! Who doesn't love a bit of a bargain?

Peter Pilotto Vs Karen Millen

Peter Pilotto has been seen everywhere on celebrities this season, his unique and beautiful prints or intensly beautiful and wearable. I'm pretty sure that most high streets will have taken some sort of inspiration from his collection with reference of print and structure, just take a look a Karen Millens.
