I Have Expensive Taste But A High Street Budget – 24 Items I’m Eyeing
As the editor of a luxury lifestyle brand, covering fashion, beauty, travel and more, I’ve accepted the fact that I’ve got expensive taste. In fact, it’s part of my job, but that doesn’t always mean I’ve got the budget to match, which means I’m always on the lookout for designer-esque buys on the high street. Here’s my edit of the most expensive-looking items from your favourite brands right now, with prices starting at £17.99, and every piece coming in under £150. Happy shopping!
Rosette details and East West bags are here to stay beyond spring/summer 2025 so I’n looking for quality pieces that don’t break the bank.
Dusty pink and cherry red is a colour pairing often spotted in designer collections.
Oversized shades, bermuda shorts and billowy blouses are very Celine-coded summer staples.
