Save, Steal Or Splurge: A Classic Timepiece

Although it’s easy to make a habit of shopping based on ‘what’s in’, this isn’t always a good idea. Buying according to trends can incur debts pretty quickly and just because a piece is fashion forward doesn’t mean it will suit all body shapes. Investment pieces in contrast, actually stand the test of time. Each week we aim to introduce a new piece for your wardrobe and provide three options from where to buy, catering for all budgets. Save - €33 at River Island This is a gem. Only €33, but the colour ensures it stands out from the crowd, the leather look strap is the type that goes with everything and an oversized face adds a luxe touch. You really can't go wrong with this piece, we love it. Steal - £65 (€80), Olivia Burton at Topshop Goregous gold and a pretty hummingbird, this is an enchanting timepiece. Guaranteed to be the talking point of any outfit, the design is whimsical, and ideal if you want something a little different.
