Affordable Fashion

1) Topshop

Topshop is a great brand for finding unique pieces for reasonable prices. Whatever you're looking for, you're likely to find it in Topshop and much more. I particularly like buying knee high socks, blazers and cool tops from Topshop.

PS: Check out the new leather gloves of the brand. Don't forget to have a closer look to the aviator jackets as well. They are as good as the Burberry's.















2) Asos:

This brand is perfect for finding the season's cool fashion essentials. I'm definitely buying this leather leopard print bag.

PS: Have a look at the Top 10 items of Asos from its website before buying anything.










3) Reiss:

Reiss produces fine products and it is one of the first stores I head to at the beginning of a new season. Fur coats, cool belts, rock star skinny jeans, tight second-skin dresses and much more.



PS: You must get your hands on the faux fur coats of Reiss they are perfect when worn with skinny jeans and biker boots.
















4) Maje: 

It would be unfair to call this brand cheap but it is merely affordable and judging from the items they are offering, it is worth every penny.


PS: The Parisian brand has the coolest shoulder details ever.





5) All Saints:

It is the prefect symbol of the London Street Fashion. All Saints is a brilliant English label where you can find edgy rock-chic items. The brand itself is effortlessly cool and everybody must at least own a little piece from it whether it is a pair of old looking biker boots or an asymmetrical dress.

PS: This metallic skirt is absolutely gorgeous. Combine it with a black blazer!





6) Paul Smith: 

"It started of quite aristocratic and quite upper-class and very much about the countryside, but then its gone off into the naughty debutante daughter, who is up in London every weekend and parties like mad"


PS: Prefer the colourful pieces for it is the tardemark of Paul Smith.













7) Twenty8Twelve:

Sienna Miller is one fashionable lady, there is no doubt in that. Now that, she has her own label with her fashion designer sister Savannah Miller, we can all share her good taste. The products of Twenty8Twelve are fashionable yet so easy to wear. I think it is worthy to keep an eye on this new established brand for it seems to be that its future is bright.


PS: Check out the navy blue military coat of Twenty8Twelve, I think it is perfect for autumn.














8) Markus Lupfer:

Markus Lupfer has the most amazing dresses ever. I'm loving its simple yet powerful designs. Many of its designs are available in the Markus Lufer stores and Selridges all across the UK.


PS: Buy a padded shouldered second-skin dress from here and use it differently for various occasions. Trust me it does make a difference:)









9) Whistles:

I find Whistles style very easy going and elegant. It is stylish in an elegant way. This autumn, I'm going to buy some Kung Fu trousers and some pastel coloured blouses from here.

PS: As long as you try the clothes on before you buy them from Whistles you won't do a faux pas.

























10) Joseph:

Ok. Joseph can be expensive, really expensive but it is also a good adress to find some very good quality affordable clothes. There are many designers in Joseph and I must say that the clothes and I must add that the clothes are chosen very carefully. It is very unlikely of you to come across an ugly dress here.

PS: Check Joseph's won designs and if you cannot afford something don't panic and get upset. Just wait for the sale!!!!

My New Season Favourites

Yes, everybody is reminding me that "less is more" right now with the "new trendy sleek Celine look" but I am still in love with Balmain's well- structured padded shoulder dresses.And, you are very much likely to be the"coolest person in the room". That's a definite promise.













I am loving the Miu Miu's 1960's look. I have simply adored the lovely short coats and statement belts combined with colourful knee high socks.














I have always loved Topshop for its affordable fashionable clothes but never did I know that it would become so cool. I am proud to say that I'm going to go to Topshop and buy a lot of clothes for this winter because what they are offering is better than ever. Pilot jackets, high waisted classy skirts, knee high socks a la gossip girl style, beautifully elegant beige coats, biker jackets, tartan shirts, leopard print belts, lace dresses....whatever you're looking for; Topshop is the one address for you. Whenever, I pass in front of the grand shop in the Oxford Circus ( my favourite topshop store), I cannot help myself but to say "God, this is one of the best things that has ever happened to London"




 Isabel Marant's Parisian charm is certainly working its effects on us all. From padded shouldered leather jackets to comfy jumpers, Isabel Marant's designs are very promising. Kate Moss is staring in the campaing and she she is undoubtedly looking as effortlessly chic as ever in the ever so cool leggings of Isabel Marant.
















The Turkish designer Hakaan is doing an incredibly good job. This wool dress is absolutely gorgeous. Hakaan's designs are very well-structured. He's definitely one of my new favourites.

















These leather biker Jimmy Choo boots are fantastic. There is fur inside the boots and it feels like wearing Uggs. Only it cooler, of course. They look perfect when worn with a pair of dark skinny jeans. Just put them on and people will regard you as the Next- Kate Moss.











Last season we were reintroduced to leather jackets. This season the designers have taken leather to a whole new level and come up with leather skirts and dresses. These clothes are so tight that some people call them the second skin. I loved Disel's Black Gold collection and they have loads of leather skirts and dresses for reasonable prices. Check the new Diesel shoes as well. They are pretty cool, methinks!












I've got to wear white tights to school everyday but I had never realised how wonderful they look until this year. Forget everything you know about them because white tights are on rise again. They look very beautiful when worn with colourful coats and high heels. 












With the help of Burberry, hooded shearling jackets are one of the most essential pieces of this autumn. This is a Helmut Lang gillet which is available in Selfridges. I must also add that you can easily find something quite like this in Topshop for a better price. Anyway, wear this item with a pair of high heels and you'll be a true glamour queen, wear it with some biker boots and you'll be the epitome of the rock-chic style. However you wear it, where ever you buy it from, just have one of these jackets if you want to make a statement.











Zadig et Voltaire is fastly becoming a symbol of coolness and all of us want to own a little piece from the brand. I must say that the brand excels in producing fine faux fur coats, leather jackets and blazers. I love this faux fur vest in the picture. I have also seen an amazing black faux fur coat in Asos and H&M but of course their quality is debatable.








Leopard prints are a big trend this year and Burberry has come up with this fabulous white and black leopard print coat. The coat matches perfectly with the black leather belt. When I saw the coat I couldn't help myself but to imagine it with black YSL heels and black tights. "Gorgeous" is the one word for it.















The Anglomania King Fu trousers are a perfect way of improving your physique. They are easy to wear, comfortable to walk around and fabulous to be seen in. Everybody must own a pair of King Fu trousers this season. They look amazing with short blazers, and edgy leather jackets. You can't o wrong when you finish the whole outfit with a pair of killer heels.
