These Valentino studded shoes have been seen on the feet of many a Front Row attendee for a few seasons now. And now Topshop have created their own cheap version.

[CHEAP VS CHIC] YSL Arty Ring
The Yves Saint Laurent Arty ring has become a cult accessory for fashionistas and bloggers. But if you don’t have £180 to spare, fear not, as Nelly.com has its own version available for less than £4!!
What do you think? The real deal or the bargain?
[CHEAP VS CHIC] Leather jackets
Can you believe I don’t have a leather jacket? A blogger with no leather jacket is like a burger without a bun (not the greatest analogy, I agree but it’s early still!).
So I am officially seeking a leather jacket this season. The question is though, how much should I spend on a good leather jacket? Even the New Look quilted leather biker jacket is over £100! The Acne leather jacket is but a dream, I fear. But the Warehouse leather jacket is a little more realistic and I do love the colour and the shoulder detail.

Which would you choose?
[CHEAP VS CHIC] McQ Pink Perspex Pouch
It seemed like everyone was carrying Kurt Geiger’s pink perspex pouch at London Fashion Week but if you’re in the mood to splurge a little more, I’ve found this McQ pouch.
What do you think of these pink numbers? Personally, I’m thinking it won’t be long until the Kurt Geiger pouch is in my possession!!
[CHEAP VS CHIC] Wedges
Totally addicted to wedges right now. These Chloe wedges are truly gorgeous but a little out of my budget, so when I spotted these Clarks wedges over at Spartoo I couldn’t help but get excited!
Wedge boots were all over the catwalks for Autumn Winter 2011 and don’t look to be going anywhere for 2012.
[CHEAP VS CHIC] Mulberry postman’s lock purse
My sister came home for Christmas with this lovely purse from Urban Outfitters however within hours of buying it, she’s managed to scratch it! So when I spotted them on sale for £5 – yes, £5!!!! – I knew I’d be a terrible sister if I didn’t get her a new one. And I’d definitely be a bad blogger if I didn’t tell you about this incredible bargain. And, after my trip to Bicester Village last weekend, I couldn’t help but notice the similarity between this purse and the Mulberry Postman’s Lock purse – just for a little less!
What do you think of this bargain purse? Any bargains you’ve picked up recently?
[CHEAP VS CHIC] Pistol boots
I’ve gone on and on about the amazing pistol-style boots I picked up in New Look recently and their similarity to the ubiquitous Acne pistol boots, so I thought I would show you exactly how similar they are:
Are you a fan of designer look-a-likes from the high street? Or do you prefer the real deal?
[CHEAP VS CHIC] Isabel Marant ankle boots
After I posted about my new boots yesterday, the fabulously stylish blogger behind Fab At Any Age showed me these amazingly bargainous boots she picked up in the Oasis sale which look very similar to the Isabel Marant boots that are so popular with many a celebrity style icon, like Kate Bosworth:
Would you go cheap or chic? My addiction to ankle boots is making it neigh on impossible for me not to buy them right now!!

[CHEAP VS CHIC] Alexander Wang loafers
Whilst surfing the Kurt Geiger sale – something that I seem to be doing far too often at the moment – I spotted these loafers which reminded me immediately of these much shinier and much more expensive Alexander Wang loafers.
Which would you go for? The cheap? Or the chic?
[CHEAP VS CHIC] Charlotte Olympia kitty flats
Whilst perusing the sale over at Spartoo, I couldn’t help but notice that these cute cat flats by Paul and Joe Sister are super similar to the Charlotte Olympia kitty flats that have been gracing the feet of Alexa Chung for the past year:
At a fraction of the price, the Paul and Joe Sister flats make a much more affordable alternative to these cult shoes.
What do you think? Would you rather spend more to get the real deal or save your pennies?
