Designer Labels For A Bargain Price!

I love trainers; their comfortable, go with anything and just look darn incredible. There is so much variety now in trainers, with both traditional brands and new brands.  Brands have took the classic trainer and put a spin on it, making them into wedges so they can be more dressed up or making them with spikes to give an alternative feel.  But I for one have always been a converse girl, I practically live in them and just wearing them, it always makes me feel like American in a way, America is part of my obsession. Anything American and I love it.

Whenever a pair of my converse looks a little worse for wear, I just resort in buying a new pair of converse. There are so many styles to choose from, you’d never be short of finding a pair you like.




However, I decided it was time a branched out of my traditional trainers and on one Monday afternoon, I had took a trip into my local town in search for a new pair of trainers, never to expect the un-expectable. There is a very popular shop in my local town that I could not recommend to anyone more. If you like designer brands but want them for an affordable price, then T.K Max is the place to shop.

In this shop I had the most stunning, well-made pair of Guess Trainers. That’s right, I said Guess. I literally fell in love with them straighter away, tried them one and kept flattering them with compliments, but never checking the price tag because in my mind, I knew I wouldn’t be able to afford them. As sucked up the courage to check, I was bewildered to see the price of these designer shoes were £29.99. To me it was like fate! If a find a bargain like that, I will always tend to Google the brand to see how much they would normally cost and a pair of Guess shoes would cost you between £105-£135. I was amazed in how much I was saving, but being able to afford a designer product, I was jumping with glee.


T.K Max is a wonderful shop; all their designer brands are completely genuine but are just more affordable. This is because T.K Max will buy out stock from a designer that has discontinued that item for an affordable price to then sell in their shop, or they will buy in bulk from designers who haven’t been able to sell their stock because it hasn’t been as popular. This means as consumers we can buy designer brand that are genuine, just for less money.  It can be a mind field at times to find the items but it is certainly worth it after and you can enjoy designer labels for less. So take a visit into your local T.K Max and be prepared to be enthralled.

Summer 2014 Fashion Trends


-Summer Time Trends 2014-

So…it’s coming up to that all important, special time of the year were us women genuinely have to make an effort to look effortlessly beautiful, I know how confusing is that. And if your anything like me, then you’ve probably only realized you haven’t given yourself much time to get prepared at all with summer being just around the corner and still suffering from a case of the ‘winter blues’. And if you are like me, then you’ll probably start to panic anytime soon because how are we suppose too look like we’ve been waiting for summer and summer hasn’t been waiting for us. Well that’s simple; all you need is un-limited visa card and a hell of a lot of time to spare, jokes… I wish it was that simple, only if you’re extremely rich of course. But it can be that simple, with just a little bit of patience and the right knowledge of what’s on trend for the spring/summer, you can easily look polished and on a budget. How great is that? Our fate in the hands of summer isn’t doomed! And you’ll probably want to know, anxiously, how this is even possible? And that’s why I am going to show you, I guess you could call me your fairy Godmother.

Fashion Trends For Summer 2014

The two key, major trends for spring/summer 2014 that you’ll most definitely want to get your hands on to show that your on the ball for this summer, is block colours and prints. I don’t think I can even stress how important these fashion pieces are, I mean, It’s like a matter of life and death! Yes, I know they kind of sound a little scary at first, no body wants too look like a bombs just hit them, but these two fashion pieces are essential for this summer and are seriously on trend. With the right tender, love and care, they will work with anyone’s skin tone and body type.

-Prints and block colours don’t look so scary now, do they? This advert is from the Michael Kors spring/summer 2014 campaign and oh how I envy that woman! I mean, seriously, if there was ever such a thing called perfection, then she is the definition of it. This advert shows how you can merge prints and block colours together and reveals a trendy and polished look.

So…how can we achieve this look for a lot less money?
This is how…

Michael Kors Look:

§  Shorts- $69.50

§  Printed Top- $69.50


In total= $139
In British Pounds= £82.38


My look would cost:

§  Zara white shorts- £29.99

§  Zara floral blue shirt- £19.99

My look won’t break the bank and you still have money left over. That’s what I call a saving and it looks exactly the same. This is how you can be on trend for summer and for a lot less money. So lets roll on the summer time!
