GOSH offer a massive range of strong colours to keep up your eyes in line with the latest trends. We have tried and tested their Matt Duo Eye Shadows…and the verdict? They last for longer without melting into the creases making them the perfect choice for a night on the town and for going glam in the sun.

1,700 Burberry Prorsum Trench		90 Topshop Trench

We’ve been waiting for someone to create something inspired by Emma Watsons favourite Burberry trench (check her out here) and our prayers have been answered.

Say hello to the new offerings by Topshop – they’re chic (as always), sophisticated and we are pretty much in love everything. Although it’s not doing our pay packets any good having the office so close to one…thanks guys!

If you’re feeling flush shop Burberry here, but if you’re on a budget whilst lusting over the trench as much as we are, why not try the Topshop Stone Faux Leather Arm Belted Trench Coat at £90. A pretty good buy if you ask us and to the untrained eye who would know the difference!

200+ Glue in extensions, hairdressers across the UK		43.99+ Clip in extensions, Xtras Accessories

Not many of us can afford to have salon fresh hair like Miss/Mrs/Ms Cole everyday, which is where hair extensions are a must have savior.   And now comes the big question…clip in or glue in? At chiconomise HQ we vote clip in and here is why….

1.       PRICE

2.       Life expectancy

3.       Remove at the end of the night (or morning)

4.       Easy to work with

5.       No damaged locks

Katie Price flys to the USA for her £2000 extensions! Top salons charge anything from £200 up for glue in extensions, and £400-700+ for a full head of hair sewn in extensions, and they don’t last forever…Depending on the brand – brushing and general maintenance can be quite difficult! When it comes to styling we can’t fault either – but when it comes to removal it’s another story – clips ins don’t leave that horrid residue in the hair, in fact they don’t damage or cause breakage to the hair at all….and take only minutes to come out and last longer than a few months.

Xtras Accessories offer their clip in human hair extensions for a bargain £45.99 + depending on length! We love thier ‘Crazy for Hair’ range which use 100% high grade human hair which give you a natural finish, both in appearance and texture, and did we mention they are ethical too? Non visible hair clips hold them in place wherever you are and with an easy to use colour matcher online (that’s actually accurate) and a super helpful blog post on how to put them in you’ll have long locks in a matter of minutes!

All us chiconomista’s love a bit of pampering at a discounted price!

50 Black Bayswater Laptop Sleeve		550 KYDD Black Crocodile Lining Laptop Bag

Looking chic for your 9-5 job can be a toughie, but us chiconomistas can handle it. The accessory that is most likely to let us down? The laptop bag. Yeap, it’s surprisingly hard to find a laptop bag that doesn’t scream frumpy, but here are two that will reaffirm your faith in fashion.

At the pricey end we have our KYDD Black Italian Leather sleeve. New in the Spring/Summer 2011 collection, this bag is a definate beaut. The feisty crocodile print is set against a sweet bubble-gum pink interior lining, embodying the two sides of every career woman! And at £550, you’ve got to work your hours for this bag!

But our savy save belongs to Knomo. It’s one of many gorgeous laptop bags in their range, but this Black Bayswater Laptop Sleeve’s gotta be one of our faves. Made from faux Nappa leather its lightweight and water resistant so no worries about coffee spills! It also comes in Poppy Red, Navy, and White and looks great as an over-sized clutch too. Priced at £50, you’re saving £500! Not too shabby for our chiconomistas!

485 Valentino Garavani Red Leather Peep Toes		25 Office Beloved Rose Red Leather

Life is no Wizard of Oz, but with the right pair of red peep toes, you can feel like Dorothy.

Snooping through Valentino’s Spring/Summer collection we found these Valentino Garavani red leather peep toes. So gorgeous, with a delicately placed rose on the front but at a whopping £485, you’ll have to consider these beauties an investment!

These Office Beloved Rose Red Leather Peep Toe shoes are our bargain buy. They’re a deeper red than the Valentino’s and have more of a sparkle to them, so probably better for nights out rather than days at the office. They’ve been reduced from £7o to £25, so we suggest you get yourself to an Office store quick before they run out!

225 Jimmy Choo Hunter-Tall		25 Office Choc Print Welly Black Shiny Rub

Its summer time! And by the looks of it we’re predicted a scorching hot June and July! So make the most of it in true British style and get yourself to one of this year’s festivals!

Not only are they a great excuse for drinking all day, but thanks to celebs like Kate Moss and Pixie Lott, festivals have become the new catwalk for ladies everywhere to show off their style. Any festival-goer will know that first and foremost wellies are a must. Given our country’s wonderfully unpredictable weather, wellies guarantee happy tootsies, come run or shine. So, we have kindly browsed through the sexiest wellies to find you those on a budget, and those for the long hall.

The beautiful Jimmy Choo Hunter wellies have a feisty leopard print interior with a gorgeous gold buckle. Or you can find a similar crocodile print with the Office Croc Print pair for an affordable £30!

So make sure you don’t ruin your festive spirit by preparing for all kinds of weather with a wonderful set of wellies!

The iconic black skull printed scarf from Alexander McQueen is fabulous way to stay chic this summer. Wear it with maxi and denim jacket or to update a white vest top and jeans. Of course, this much style comes with a hefty price tag at £245 from Matches.
