In a very London-inspired (and generally Chic ‘n Cheap) moment, I’ve decided to add a regular section called “Luxing it on the Cheap” or LOTC.
London is indeed fab. But it is also not cheap.
At first London prices scared me because I was coming across items like choi sum vegetables for£7.5/kilo (seriously) or 6 eggs for £1.5. I was pretty bummed. But there are bargains if you look around (Thank you, Tesco for reasonable grocery prices). In terms of fashion, I’ve come across wearable/affordable pieces from Next, TopShop, and even Marks & Spencer (besides the standbys of H&M and Zara of course).
So in this first feature, I’m actually covering a designer collaboration we covered before: Jimmy Choo collection for H&M. I found some great new pictures from blogger Bags, Shoes & Beyond and wanted to pass them along. Prices for the handbags, jewelry, shoes, and clothing will range from £40-£200 so it certainly puts Jimmy Choos within reach. Definitely checking it out on Nov. 14 (participating stores will be listed starting Oct. 15)
Here are some faves:
Love that it’s just a small touch of a print, simple edginess
Ok, I finally got into Gladiator sandals – are they still in?! Either way, love the straps
Such great items! Can’t wait till they are in stores!
um, i’m drooling. cannot wait!
cute shoes!! way excited for jimmy choo at H&M
I sort of want one of everything. That is, if they make it to Hong Kong…
Is it bad that while living there Topshop was often too expensive? Primark was always my first stop!
