What Elles Did Next...

It's the trend that never went out of fashion. A classic t-shirt has always been a staple in our wardrobes, however, London Fashion Week saw a storm of women wear a "band t-shirt/graphic tee" better than ever!

Henry Holland's SS17 Fashion had me inspired. I love his collection of graphic t-shirts, slogans like "I don't smoke weed, I'd rather suck on Gigi Hadid" or my personal favourite "I'm yours for a tenner Kendall Jenner". They look so cool and easy to style as well as being provocative in their own way. 

I went to ZARA today and picked up an outfit that was inspired by the "band tee" phase. It's now acceptable to "dress up" a t-shirt and for it to be considered "stylish". THANK GOD! I have been an advocate for casual attire for years!

This is the kind of outfit I think I'll be constantly wearing this autumn. The tee from ZARA was only £7.99!! Complete bargain! I certainly will be on the lookout for some more cool band tees from now on! It's an effortless and affordable look that I think will look good on anyone no matter your size, as you can already see, I'm clearly not a size 6!

Examples of t-shirts you can get your hands on :)

Us bloggers love designer fashion, but something we love even more? Dupes. Of course we would all love a classic Chanel bag or YSL makeup, however we aren't all millionaires...

Gucci released these amazing slip on loafers. The blogging world went crazy. Everyone was wearing them, at first I didn't know they were Gucci so I began to do my research to hunt these down. The loafers retail from £400-£600. Yep, completely out of my price range. So it got me thinking, surely I can find a nice pair that look similar but don't look like a complete tacky rip off. It didn't take me long to find a pair. Thank god for TOPSHOP.

Topshop never disappoint me, I love their jeans, I love their jewellery and I now completely love their shoes. The name of the pair I picked up were called the "Kylie Backless Buckle Loafer". They are a suede material which is different to the classic Gucci's but I like that. What I love most is just how comfortable they are! It's like walking around in the world's classicist slippers. I paid £52 for them which I think it an absolute bargain. The quality of the shoe is also great and I think they will last a long time. 

The only con of the shoes will be that I wouldn't be able to wear them when it's raining as I think, considering the material, it would ruin them completely. I'm trying to get the most wear out of them now before Winter fully approaches here in the UK. They are not a typical summer shoe, but I've been rocking them for months because they're so comfortable and backless. I'm not ready for Winter, Autumn please last forever!!!

These shoes aren't for everyone, I have friends who love them and friends who think they are the ugliest shoes ever. But don't be negatively influenced. They are unique and different, if you want to change up your style like I did then give them and go!

Below are some links to the Topshop site, I can't find my ones as they must have sold out but they do have the same style in different colours so check them out! :)

Being a self-confessed bargain queen, I hit the high street to find reasonable priced products that look and feel amazing.

The makeup brand "Sleek" have the most amazing matte lipstick collection and I stumbled upon these by accident. They are super affordable and look pretty good! Sleek is a brand that isn't that well known, in comparison to high street brands like L'Oreal or Rimmel, however is doesn't mean they're not as good. I swatched a lot of different mattes in Superdrug and Sleek impressed me the most. The product is really pigmented and drys super quick, which I really appreciated!

I thought it would be an idea to swatch each product that I have bought on my hand and then show you what they look like on my lips;
