Excel Clothing Wishlist

Hello Readers,

I recently stumbled across a site called Excel Clothing and whilst looking at some of their stock I ended up finding a few pieces that I liked, so I thought it was only right that I made up a little wishlist and shared it with you all! Excel Clothing stocks clothes, shoes, bags etc for men, women and children - all of which are designer brands. On their site you can find brands ranging from Fred Perry to Vivienne Westwood so there really is something for everyone. Excel offer free UK delivery on orders over £75 and if you order before 2pm you qualify for same day despatch which is pretty impressive service! 

1. Sugarhill Boutique Ching Ching Skater Dress - £58

How adorable is this dress?! It's a lovely turquoise green colour and is covered in this cute little camera print. As a lover of photography this dress goes down well with me! With a tan belt to cinch in the waist and some little tan loafers to match this would be a great summer outfit.

2. Michael Kors Midsized Chronograph Watch in Gold -£199

I can't get over how beautiful this watch is. It's the perfect gold tone and looks so classy and elegant. Definitely worth investing in.

3. Michael Kors Bedford Flat Crossbody Handbag - £150

I'm an absolute sucker for brown cross body bags. No matter what shape or size, I just can't get enough! I was really drawn to this one as I love how structured it is. As I'm going to university this year I'm looking for the perfect uni bag and I think this might just be it. It looks perfect for carrying any books or stationary I'll need to take. Stylish and practical! 

4. Ted Baker Lindar Crystal Bow Bobble Matinee Purse in Nude - £75

I've always loved how classy the Ted Baker purses look, especially this nude pink one. So simple yet cute, I'd love to get my hands on one! 

That's all for this post, I hope you're all well!

The Cut Out Boot Trend

 

Hello Readers,

I feel it's about time I finally step in and make a post about the cut out boot trend before it gets any later as I'm already quite late on the bandwagon with this one. Cut out boots are every where at the minute and more and more high street stores seem to be bringing out their answer to this this trend. I myself have only recently got my hands on a pair and I have been wearing them religiously for about 2 weeks now. When I first started seeing these boots I liked them but thought I personally wouldn't wear them as I don't go for really androgynous style shoes. I tried to embrace creepers when they were all the rage but I didn't end up wearing the pair I bought myself so I thought it was going to be the same case with the cut out boots. However I couldn't have been more wrong!



The Balenciaga Cut Out Ankle Boot seemed to kick start the whole thing off, but with a price tag of £795 you had to be pretty well off to get your hands on a pair of these shoes.

 

The first to bring out a dupe of these shoes was Jeffrey Campbell. The "Coltranes" allowed us to be able to rock the biker chic cut out boot style but without the extreme price tag. However at £150, it's still a bit of a splurge.

Fast forward a few weeks and now there seems to be dupes left right and centre. If you're wanting to get your hands on a pair of cut out boots but couldn't afford to splash out on the first 2 options then there are plenty of alternatives for you!

1. JAMEELA - £35

These boots are from Chockers Shoes and are a great cheaper alternative.

2. EBAY CUT OUT BOOTS - £29.99

This pair are the ones that I have myself and they're amazing quality. Very comfortable and I didn't need to wear them in at all. I highly recommend!

3. CUT OUT BLACK BRUGES CUT OUT BOOTS - £44.99

This pair are from Ark Clothing and are a bit more expensive from some of the other dupes, however they look to be very good quality.

 

4. CHUNKY CUT OUT ANKLE BOOTS - £29.99

This pair surprisingly come from New Look. They're very popular and have sold out fully. I do believe they have just restocked however so if you're interested have a look.

5. ZARA CHUNKY CUT OUT BOOTS - £29.99

These boots are from a site called Mr Shoes and they're pretty good dupes for the Coltranes. This pair has silver hardware like the Coltranes and also has a very similar chunky shape. They are also a really good price!

6. BLACK CHUNKY BUCKLE CUT OUT BOOTS - £45

Finally, this pair is from River Island and is another very popular dupe at the moment. The buckles on this are quite different and appear to expose more of the foot, so it's not an exact dupe for either of the expensive boots, however they are really nice and quite quirky due to the different buckles.

That's all for this post, I hope you've enjoyed.
Let me know if this has helped you in anyway at all or if you have any of these pairs and would recommend them. I'd love to hear.

Oh I'd just like to say that I'm sorry for missing 3 days of blogtober. I went home for the weekend so I didn't really have time to be updating my blog. I knew I'd fail at it haha!

Hope you're all well.

Paige.
