Style Steal: Black Cut Out Boots with White Soles

So w little while ago Topshop stocked this gorgeous pair of boots called the Aftershocks. They were black, lace up cut out boots with a white sole, and they were a little pricey and sold out incredibly fast. Unfortunately, Topshop said they were not going to restock them, but then a few months later an Australian store called Tony Bianco (that has gorgeous shoes by the way) started selling a pair that looked exactly the same! But at $200 for a pair, I was not about to buy them. But, as I was trolling the internet the other day, as I do every day, I came across these boots from Bank for a much more reasonable price!

Topshop Aftershock Cutout Lace-up Boots - $170 Sold Out

Tony Bianco Gidget Boots - $170

Blonde & Blonde Mason Cutout Boots - $48

At more than $100 cheaper, these boots are definitely a great deal.

Clothing Review: Topshop Longsleeve Cape Blouse in Nude

A little while ago, Topshop stocked this gorgeous Cape Detail Blouse, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get my hands on it before it sold out. So I scoured ebay for a month or two, looking for it or a similar item, when Topshop decided to quasi restock it. It doesn't have the same name, and it comes in a few different colors now, so I'm not sure if its the exact same one, but it has the same look and style to it.

 

Of course, I had to try it on when I went to New York and I was finally in a place with a full sized Topshop again. The material of it was fine, I don't really remember it being particularly amazing, but it wasn't cheap either, and the size of it was fine, if a little bit loose. I tried it on in nude, and so it was a little see through, but because there are two layers of fabric on the top half, it won't show your bra so long as you wear a nude colored one. It's definitely not for hot weather, even though it looks very light and airy, as its 100% polyester, but I'm also not sure how well it would wear underneath a jacket. It was incredibly flattering though, and really the only reason that I didn't buy it was because of the sleeves - I'm really, really, really short, and even though I tried it on in my normal size, the sleeves were way too long, and there was no way to roll them or hem them because its a blouse.

 

So, if you have short arms like me, you'll probably want to wait and see if Topshop comes out with a petite version. If not, I definitely recommend this blouse! Its very pretty and girly, and very flattering.

Style Steals

I love clothes. Seriously. I think it might be obvious, since I have a blog that is mostly about clothes. But occasionally, I fall in love with a piece of clothing that is ridiculously expensive. And since I am not currently a billionaire, I can't buy it.

Luckily, that's what the internet is for! If you search hard enough, there is bound to be a piece similar out there in the universe, and I love the feeling of finally finding something that you love for a better price.

I first saw this Maje playsuit a month or two ago, and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, it costs way too much money for me to buy it. But, the other day I was looking at a style blog and they posted this similar playsuit from Motelrocks and its on sale for $50!

This Michael Kors watch is gorgeous, but I would never spend that much money on a watch - I would be too afraid of breaking it to ever really enjoy wearing it. Luckily there a re plenty of cheaper options that look just like it - I personally have the Style&co one from Macy's, and its gorgeous. And both of these options are $30 or under.

I love this jumper with the tigers on it from Mulberry, but not only is it expensive but its sold out! This t-shirt from Zara has an almost identical pattern, with the two tigers sitting, but unfortunately its not a jumper. So while its not as good for winter as the jumper would be, its still super cute.

These are just a few examples of some style steals I've seen on the internet. Happy shopping!

Love,

And in other news I've crossed the first item off my June Wishlist!

I got this Topshop floral smock dress off of Ebay and I love love love it! It was only 6 quid, including shipping and handling, but it has to be shipped to my address in Scotland so I don't get to wear it until August or September. But hey, at least its finally mine after a failed attempt at another auction.

Love,

Caro
