There is something so appealing to me about a designer shoe or bag, and while I've never managed to pluck up the courage to buy a pair of designer shoes, I have managed to obtain a few handbags by declaring them an investment. I still stand by that they are an investment as a bag is one size fits all and once you're an adult your feet tend to stay the same size. However, at the moment my priority is on buying a house so my designer desires can't be met and that's where these amazing dupes from the high street are coming into play until a money miracle happens and I win the lottery or something.
Valentino
Valentino is a brand that I have always lusted after and their Rockstud shoes have been on my radar for a long time. I even asked my boss to pay me a bonus in them instead of money - like that was ever going to happen. If I do feel spontaneous and brave with my money then these will be the first pair of designer shoes I purchase. In the mean time these Primark beauties are going to satisfy my studded desires, and at just £14, really don't break the bank. You really did hear me right, £14. Topshop also seem to be on the Valentino dupe bus with their copies of the labels trainers, which are fab, and a mimic of the stud bag both coming in at under £25.

Chloe
Chloe is another brand that I just can't seem to stop dreaming about from the 'Faye' and 'Drew' bags that I've come ever so close to buying at Bicester Village and the tan wedges which seemed to appear on every third image on instagram last summer. This years version of the wedge from the label features scalloped edging and my feet are itching to walk in them. The 'faye' bag is a known IT bag and missguided have this gorgeous dupe for just £12 at the moment although I hear a little rumour from the lovely Kate at The Make Up Artists Choice that Matalan have trumped Missguided with their version which comes in both tan and black, coming in at £16. Aldo are also having a designer bag dupe moment so check them out too.

Misc
Now it's not just Valentino and Chloe that are the labels my heart desires. From Chanel's two tone pointed mules, Gianvito Rossi's plexi heels to Dior's j'adior heels I have an incredibly expensive lust list. Below are some of the other high street steals that I've found to satisfy my wardrobe.
