The Chanel-esque Midi Heels You've Been Waiting For

Monsoon jacket | Levi's jeans | Dorothy Perkins shirt 
Forever 21 bag | Topshop shoes | Sunglasses | Asos bangle

Killing time in Topshop Oxford Circus a couple of weeks back, I wandered around the shoe lounge and sitting there in all their perfect-shoe glory were these bad boys. It was certainly love at first shoe-sight – never had I ever seen such a perfect designer-esque dupe. Along with the rest of the blogosphere, I'd admired the coveted Chanel sling back that's been doing the rounds on the street style circuit over the passed few seasons since I first saw them on the feet of Chiara Ferragni in Paris. But alas, they're incredibly hard to get a hold of and would have made a serious dent in my current account.

Fortunately, these satin and leather mary-janes by Topshop are the next best thing. Elegant, comfortable and if I hadn't told you, you wouldn't know they're from the good old British high street. They also come in gorgeous blossom pink and navy colour ways, and at just £62, they won't break the bank either.

I love love love how they look with the distressed hems of my Levi's, I find pairing ladylike pieces with something a little ragged is always a good way to balance a look. Keeping the tones in line with the shoes, I went for this summery grey striped shirt by DP and my trusty navy military blazer by Monsoon. My new F21 mini black bag is also another recent dupe triumph – so similar to the Alexander Wang Rocco and just £16!

I'm a true believer that you don't have to spend a small fortune to look stylish, especially when you can find affordable pieces like this on the high street for a fraction of the price – I hope you enjoy these finds as much as I do.
