  • Steep vs Cheap: Statement Sparkle

In time for the party season you will be able to choose every item of clothing with them adorning it, and why not They are perfect party-wear, guaranteed to get you noticed and the...

  • Steep vs Cheap: Festival Fashion
    The festival season is upon us and true to our British weather the rain has also decided to attend. The only positive outcome of this is that you can look uber stylish in some very cool Wellington boots, long gone are the days where they are only worn for dog walking and farming. Now they are a true style statement, with all our favourite designers producing pairs that...

  • Steel vs Cheap: Hot headgear
    With summer just around the corner (we hope) and our holidays booked, we are all getting into the spirit of summer shopping. No-one can deny that little rush of joy we get as we purchase another pair of shorts or a fabulous bikini to add to our collection. However, we sometimes forget the most fabulous treats, our accessories, perfect for dressing up or down anything. This...

  • Steep vs Cheap: Lanvin or Linzi?
    Summer is itching to appear (promise), we had our sunny spell and now the rain refuses to go away. More than being very upsetting and rather annoying, it makes it difficult in choosing the appropriate footwear. It is morally wrong to be wearing boots in the months of July and August but unless you want soaking wet feet, sandals are not an option. Step forward the ballet...

  • Steep vs Cheap: A stunning statement
    jewellery is the ultimate accessory. Whether it be in the form of those larger than life earrings or that gorgeous ring, picking those few statement pieces is a necessity. Personally I don’t think you can go wrong if you opt for a necklace, ideal for both dresses and t-shirts alike. This stunning piece from

  • Steep vs Cheap: The Blazer
    Each year the choice of jacket changes. 2007 was the year for a military style or classic trench, 2008 saw the trend of leather jackets and in 2009 we are adorning the blazer. There are styles to suit everyone but my personal favourite is the tailored blazer, fantastic for wearing with jeans and sandals for that preppy cool look. But on the other hand the perfect...

  • Steep vs Cheap: Denim Leggings
    Leggings resurfaced around 2006 and season after season they refuse to go away. Available in every theme, whether it be animal print, neon or 80’s sequins, but right now for us the most desirable pair are jeggings or treggings or jean leggings, whatever you want to call them…the combination of the legging and the jean is just fabulous. Okay, I agree that they...

  • Ann-Sofie Back for Cheap Monday: Hot or not?
    Ann-Sofie Back collaborated with the brand for their Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Back’s influence is clear to see. Her own girly goth vibe is weaved throughout the collection with rips, gashes and holes adorning both jumpers and jeans. The jeans ooze that “cool kid about town” look. While the jumpers are a perfect choice for our very unpredictable English...

  • Steep vs Cheap: Summer Stunners
    Denim shorts are a firm choice when it comes to Summer. They’re perfect for beach to bar and whether you’re a girly girl, die-hard fashionista or like to give off an effortless vibe, you can work denim shorts to suit any style. We like to pair them with loose vests and gladiators for that “I really haven’t bothered” laid-back chic look. These distressed cut-offs...

  • Steep vs Cheap: Ripped Boyfriend Jeans
    Jeans are the fail-safe option for any fashion forward female, but which option do we choose? 2009 saw the returning trend of the
