Ralph Lauren Deals!

After recently seeing Kate Middleton looking very country chic and Blake Lively at a launch for Ralph Lauren, it inspired me to find some classical pieces for my wardrobe. The one place to find affordable Ralph Lauren is of course TK Maxx. It really does not matter that they are 'last season' as they are classical and will last for years to come. See below the 3 bargain Ralph Lauren pieces I found all for under £70. I also picked up some Ralph Lauren inspired blouses similar to my second blog.

El Brook does vintage for spring!

I love finding a great vintage bargain and with spring coming up, it is the perfect excuse to find some classical pieces. Vintage clothes don't have to be expensive, there are some wonderful bargains to be found in charity shops. High street stores such as Topshop offer some custom made vintage clothes at affordable prices. Poppy Delevigne, Sienna Miller and Alexa Chung love to mix vintage garments with high fashion pieces and most recently Lydia Bright from The Only Way is Essex has a beautiful, elegant and classic vintage look. It's easy to do, think high collars, blouses, puffy shoulders, floral and spots!


Andy Blouse Motel Vintage Custom Made £25
Juniper Shorts Motel Vintage Custom Made £21


Sylvie Dress Motel Vintage Custom Made £35


Pink cotton shirt - Charity shop £3.99
Regatta Navy Jean Spot Therapy SALE £30
