Ever been in a situation where you just can’t refuse that darling pair of shoes, that oh-so cute dress or those to-die-for earrings?

Well we all have!  And there are occasions where we must allow ourselves to be treated…at least once in a while!

So jump into those sparkly peep toes, don the ball gown and wear those earrings with pride!  Girls love to dress up every now and then and whether you have been promoted at work, finished an endless essay or found a few more pennies in the purse, all of the above are great reasons to do a little shopping!

If however you still wish to treat yourself but don’t have too many pennies to spare, opt to shop high street rather than designer.

Stores such as Matalan have designer look-a-like creations for a fraction of the price.  Team with a few designer accessories you may already have in your wardrobe in order to create a look that screams catwalk creation!

Matalan is currently showing a polite nod to Prada with a block-pleated creation in the shape of a beatnik-style dress.  For a Prada style finish, wear with white patent knee high boots.  If you wish to create a subtler look, team with black opaques and court shoes.

Finish with a cute clutch and statement hair; the girl’s will think you have brought your outfit back from the runway yourself!

Many high street stores will house affordable designer look-a-likes!  Check out the latest catwalk shows for inspiration and then hit the high street and stock up on all of those must-have designer styles and look-a-likes!
