The change in weather has seriously had me wanting to brighten up my wardrobe.  During my regular browse of the internet to find some inspiration I found I was once again torturing myself over the stunning high end sites, which made me realise that I hadn't done a 'High End Done High Street' feature in a while!  I'm so impressed with the high streets take on the high impact bold prints, I'm going to be clashing for some time. Believe me!

All Necklaces:  Doloris Petunia, One of a Kind

I'm bringing back one of my favourite features!  High End Done High Street came about from my love of browsing NET-A-PORTER, and all things gorgeous, but just ever so slightly little out of my price range!

I was recently considering how much I'm still loving the Spring 2012's oversized, bright and bling statement necklace trend. These gorgeous 'cocktail' necklaces are definitely here to stay in Autumn and Winter!  I found myself on the Doloris Petunia Etsy store - a Chiara 'The Blonde Salad' Ferragni's favourite, and I can see why!  Each piece is custom made by Courtney Prince and her team, whose motto is 'because one of a kind is the new black'.  No two pieces are the same, and I love it!  With prices around the £300 + mark these stunning items are very much an investment piece.  Here's to hoping I'll be lucky enough to wear one of the amazing bridal pieces when I get married, but in the meantime I'll be making the most of the pretty alternatives to be found on the high street:


1.  Zara Cord Chain Necklace with Coloured Rhinestones and Diamonte, £19.99 (I have this one!)  |  2.  H&M Metal Riveted Necklace, £14.99  |  3.  Oasis Brushed Flower Necklace, £16  |  4.  Necklace of Chains and Rope with Coloured Stones, £19.99  |  5.  Topshop Ribbon Twist Collar, £18.50  |  6.  New Look Diamante and Neon Pink Flower Necklace, £12.99

I don't usually look at much other than the food in Marks & Spencer, but when I was waiting for a friend to finish in the loos during a shopping trip I thought I'd have a wonder round the perfume section.  And I'm very glad I did!  The Marks & Spencer perfume collection is perfect for affordable scents!  It was all the pretty bottles that caught my eye, they were totally inspired by high end perfumes, like Michael Kors, Chloe,  Marc Jacobs and Givenchy... after a few sniffs I noticed the fragrances were a little high end 'inspired' too!

With full size 100ml bottles coming in at only roughly £12, and prices starting as low as £3.50 for 10ml, what better for a little handbag fragrance?!  There was a 'buy one get half price' offer on throughout March so I ended up with two of the purse sprays for only £9!

Leilah is an incredibly sweet fruity-floral scent, just what I'm drawn to!  With top notes of mandarin and raspberry, apple and lily mid notes, and rich base notes of vanilla and musk, it very much reminds me of Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola!  The design of the full size bottles of Butterfly is also very Marc Jacobs-esc, the scent is also JUST like the popular DKNY Be Delicious!  Again, just my style with 'fresh green' notes of apple, cucumber and grapefuit mixed with magnolia flower, rose and violet on top of the base notes of musk and amber.   Yum!

You can probably guess from the price tag but these perfumes don't last a massive amount of time, but we all know that can sometimes be the case with perfumes you have to pay over 50 quid for!  If you're on a budget and want a cheap and cheerful perfume I'd definitely get yourself down to M&S!!

Browsing Net-a-Porter is one of my favourite hobbies, I love finding designer inspiration that I'll then go and scour the high street.  Whilst looking for Christmas party dress inspiration I stumbled across this amazing Alexander McQueen clutch.  The signature skull clasp sits in amazingly amongst the beads, crystals and feather detail.  It would look just stunning with a simple black dress.  So, in true High End Done High Street fashion, here are my favourite budget replicas!

1. Oasis Glitter Clutch £26  |  2. New Look Studded Clutch £43.99 (sale)  |  3. ASOS Conical Stud Feather Clutch £15 (sale)  |  4. Miss Selfridge Black Multi Embellish Clutch £28  |  5. Zara Feather Clutch £59.99

Once again I found myself drooling over the e-pages of the net-a-porter magazine. I absolutely love the elegance and simplicity of their Jewel Tones feature, a perfect way to continue the much loved summer brights trends into autumn... which, if you're based the UK, you'll know has pretty much already arrived!
