39 Beautiful And Affordable Items That Look Expensive
A cheerful fruit bowl, that's also secretly a colander 😱, to add a cheerful pop of color to your practical kitchen.

You, after going through this whole list:

Men's Bags We Can't Stop Thinking About - and Here is Why
Women can be divided into two camps - the ones that can leave the house with a dainty pochette and the ones that carry their proverbial life on their (somewhat strained & slanted) shoulders. The latter are the type everyone goes to when needing a protein bar, a Panadol, a power bank, some emergency dry shampoo - you see where this is going. Yet, the options of women's bags in the XXL size can be somewhat limited, which is why buying the significantly roomier bags from the men's range might be our favourite lifehack-du-jour. The Givenchy large Voyou bag, crafted from cracked leather, exudes a strong urban vibe, featuring moto accents and an Olsen twin-inspired, slouchy silhouette. It is a perfect daytime companion due to its extra-large volume, which can easily fit your iPad, water bottle, and more. Large Voyou bag in crackled leather AED10,246 Tods Di Bag is iconic in its own right, and the briefcase version of the bag is as rich-looking as it is understated. Crafted in fine calfskin leather, this bag is a pièce de résistance for a corporate outfit, whilst secretly hiding a Pilates getup for later. Tod's Di Bag Briefcase in Leather Medium The Intrecciato Andiamo bag by Boottega Veneta requires no further intro, but the men's version is significantly roomier. For those wanting to lean into a familiar silhouette, this artisanal piece of luggage combines comfort with pure sartorial superpowers. Andiamo Large Intrecciato Leather Messenger Bag AED29,600 The Prada Buckle leather tote is a simple carry-all that no self-proclaimed minimalist would refuse. The silver buckle and belt detailing exhude a distinct 90s whiff (alongside the actual olfactory delight of high-quality leather), in line with the current aesthetic. The two-compartment solution makes it easy to separate the contents of the bag, allowing for a clear division between daytime and nighttime must-haves. Prada Buckle leather tote bag AED25,370 Balenciaga's Super Busy messenger bag, like the name would entail, complements the life of someone very, very busy. The payful compartments are like Tetris for your brain, with each little pocket thoughtfully crafted for cards, AirPods, and all the other urban necessities. Men's Superbusy Sling Bag Large in Brown AED10,353

32 Affordable Items To Make You Feel As Fancy As Gatsby
A pair of loafer mules that Daisy definitely would've worn to one of Tom's polo matches — I mean, they are giving Gucci vibes with that chic buckle after all... But the only difference? They're *actually* affordable. Reviewers say they're soft and comfy, and one person even claims it has more padding than the designer version. 😱 A laptop tote bag with an alligator print to feel luxurious on your way to work, school drop-off, or just your daily errands. The best part? It won't break your bank account! It's very similar to the Béis Work Tote since you can fit your laptop, water bottle, iPad, makeup essentials, and more with ease! Oversize square sunnies that'll make you look so stylish and expensive, you should be sitting poolside at Gatsby's mansion. They look like Bottega Veneta, but you'll be laughing all the way to the bank because these are a whole lot cheaper. Another bonus is that they come in many colors *and* have polarized lenses with UV protection! A set of modern cylindrical wineglasses when you want your twist-off wine or pack of seltzers to feel like it's being served at a roaring '20s soireé. They're so elegant, even the most buttoned-up prohibitionists would be tempted to clink a glass. They're just like the Crate & Barrel version but on a bootleg budget — aka zero buyer's remorse. A "Honey Tinted Lip Balm" that looks so much like Clinique's cult-fave "Almost-Lipstick" in Black Honey, it might just fool you. It has the same sleek packaging, buildable tint, glossiness, and a your-lips-but-better finish. Some reviewers even call it a one-to-one swap, meaning it's giving high-end without the high price. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress reviewers say feels buttery soft because who said pretty has to hurt? This looks so chic and looks similar to Skims, so your looks will *stun* everyone (but your bank account of course, it's cheap)! A set of extra-soft cooling bed sheets so you can get all snuggled up under your favorite cozy blankets and comforter without immediatly overheating. You'll be clocked out for the night in no time thanks to these high-quality (yet affordable!) sheets. If you always get the night sweats then these will be your new BFF. And an affordable Kitsch 100% satin pillowcase if you always want cool side of the pillow vibes when sleeping, because same. Reviewers say it helps prevent hair breakage, control frizz, and maintain hydration — with fewer acne breakouts, too! This doesn't absorb moisture or cause friction like your cotton pillowcase... just sayin'. A layered necklace set because stacked neck bling simply gives rich vibes. But it doesn't actually have to be expensive! Reviewers say it looks gorgeous and *doesn't* tarnish which are the two most important things IMO. Plus, a cubic zirconia ring that looks so similar to a Cartier Love Ring, people will do a double-take as you reach for your water at a fancy restaurant. You just have impeccable taste in rings *and* food... what can you say!? It's hard being glamorous! A set of chic feather-trim pajamas to feel like Daisy as you're getting ready to slumber in your estate (aka your 5th-floor walk-up with no doorman). Now you can journal those manifestations in bed with this good quality and comfy set before you doze off for the night! Slingback heels because why buy the ridiculously pricier version during rain and snow season — they'll get ruined *and* drain your bank account. This Chanel alternative will still be affected by the weather, but at least you can breathe easy knowing you didn't pay an arm and a leg to *still* look chic! A Sol de Janeiro fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 to smell like you've spritzed on Baccarat Rouge 540 for so much less (according to reviewers). Let its light notes of jasmine, hibiscus, and sun musk transport you into a lush garden by the sea before your daily grind starts. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings so you won't be crying from how expensive they are — in fact, quite the opposite! This will give any outfit a little shiny bling that'll make people say, "Are those Bottega Veneta?" And you'll respond with, "In this economy?" 🤨 Cheap, but cute accessories are the way to go. A saddle shoulder bag if you want that French designer look for much, much less. It's honestly giving quiet luxury because there are no big bulky logos — just a sleek, smooth purse that speaks for itself. Plus, it has a short strap and a crossbody one so you can style it any way you want! A pearl sunglasses chain so cute that even flapper girls would sport 'em because it not only looks fabulous but it also keeps your glasses on you at all times. That means you can do the Charleston alllll night long and have zero worries of losing your favorite pair of sunnies. How fab! A pack of picture lights that look like they'd go in the Biltmore Estate but now they can go in YOUR estate for an affordable price! They're battery-powered, so there are no ugly wires ruining your magnificent wall of paintings, prints, or photos. A cut crystal–style cocktail shaker so you can make your cocktails just as good as a 1920s speakeasy. Reviewers say it's heavy, sturdy, and seals well so when you start shaking your drink, it won't end up all over you. If you have a bar cart, this would be the *perfect* addition! A stunning corset lace-up sundress reviewers are impressed with because it's a good, cheaper alternative to the House of CB version. If you want to update your wardrobe without spending major $$$, then this is the perfect option. Wear it to fancy dinners and any other ~formal~ events on your schedule! A beautiful tennis bracelet so you can have some new wrist candy that stays in good condition after repeated wears *and* (most importantly) sparkles. ✨ If you checked out the Swarovski version and are even a little bit unsure about swiping your card, trying this one out first is the way to go. Think of it as a cheap test drive! A fabulous ruched top and pants set because who doesn't want to feel chic *and* comfortable at the same time... The options are endless with this because not only can you dress it up or down, *but* you can also own it in any color or pattern you want. This + Brunch = Perfection. A 10-piece set of rose gold makeup brushes so you can glide on your concealer, foundation, and bronzer with brushes that look eerily similar to Artis... but they're so much more affordable. One reviewer described these as "professional quality," so why drop bank on the more expensive ones? They do the same thing! A lightweight tote bag if you want to cosplay as a Longchamp girlie who's on their way to Pilates on a Tuesday at 2 p.m., when you're really on your way to work. It can fit your laptop, planner, makeup essentials, and more. Even reviewers note how spacious it is! You'll probably gasp when you realize this folds up into a triangle *just* like the Longchamp Le Pilage bag. A pack of scented shower steamers — a self-care must-have because aromatherapy can help you feel *so* relaxed after a super long day. Those soothing scents of citrus, grapefruit, or cocoa orange will make you feel like you're at a spa without spending ridiculous amounts of $$$. Or an affordable eucalyptus bundle that comes from farms in California and North Carolina, so you know you're hanging up some authentic (and, frankly, bougie) plants in your shower. Eucalyptus is known for smelling ah-mazing and will have you saying "ahhh" when you step into your warm shower. A draped, off-the-shoulder midi dress so you look absolutely *gorgeous* on your next date night. You can pair it with a chic long coat because (unfortunately) cold weather does *not* cancel dressy events! A stainless steel face roller and gua sha — what if I told you this is better than your rose quartz and jade facial tools? 😱 The stainless steel is easier to clean, so you never have lingering bacteria on them, and they can get colder, too! Your puffiness and inflammation won't know what hit them. A faux leather belt that'll have you saying, "Gucci who?" Never heard of her. This is a mere fraction of those designer belts that cause your mouth to drop to the floor when you see the price. It can be paired with anything so you always look chic! A sunrise alarm clock because if you think I'm gonna spend over $100 on something that wakes me up from my peaceful slumber? You've got another thing coming — *cough* Hatch *cough*. This gently wakes you up by brightening gradually 30 minutes before your alarm *and* has an evening setting to help you get to sleep on time. A matching spa headband set with fuzzy arm cuffs, so when you lather up your face with cleanser, you don't have to worry about water dripping down your arms and can keep your hair out of the way, too. Now that is a luxury! A roll of marble contact paper because we love the look of marble countertops, just not their *steep* price points. You can put this on your kitchen or bathroom countertops for an aesthetic that looks straight from Italy! A plush checkered blanket that'll match the expensive vibes of Barefoot Dreams for only a fraction of the price. One reviewer said, "This is one of the best purchases I've made!!" I can imagine why because it's super cozy and comfy! You, toasting every chance you get just so you can show off your fancy new wineglasses: Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Materialists Is The Film Of The Summer – Here's Where To Shop Dakota Johnson's Outfits
Proenza Schouler, Odette Strapless Dress Bottega Veneta, Knot Sandal Reformation, Nadira Dress Converse, All Star Ox In Black Bottega Veneta Tortoiseshell Sunglasses RED/DONE,1950s Boxy T-shirt Paris, Texas, Anja Knee High Boots Nobody's Child, Pinstripe Blazer Abercrombie And Fitch, Scarlett Suiting Mini Skort Leset Jane, Belted Double-Breasted Wool-Blend Trench Ralph Lauren, Baseball Cap Gucci, Rectangular Sunglasses As of late, Dakota Johnson has become social media's beloved queen of deadpan humour, thanks to her effortlessly witty lines that spark chaotic (and hilarious) interview moments. But her effortless charm goes beyond quick comebacks. Her street style and red carpet looks are always classic and elegant, and with Kate Young as her stylist, that comes as no surprise. So, naturally, when Johnson arrived on the set of her latest rom-com, Materialists , we expected show-stopping outfits - and she certainly delivered. The best part? Most of her looks were made up of brands you already know and love. In Materialists , Johnson stars as Lucy, a matchmaker caught in a toxic love triangle with John (Chris Evans) and Harry (Pedro Pascal). Although the film has already been released in the U.S, it won't be in cinemas in the UK until 16th August - but that hasn't stopped us from already spotting the best outfits worn by Johnson. Whether we've seen them via set photos or in the trailer, her outfits are already tantalising the internet, with fans eager to know where Johnson's uncomplicated (but exceptionally chic) looks are from, including that particular floral Reformation dress. While we're used to seeing Johnson in looks from Gucci, Saint Laurent and Ferragamo, you'll be relieved to know that the high street is where most of her stellar selection of outfits come from, including Reformation, Dôen and adidas. There's excellent news for anyone looking to replicate her looks, too, because plenty of these pieces are, somehow, still in stock. We've rounded up all her favourite looks for you to shop below. But hurry - we suspect they'll sell out, even before Materialists reaches our screens. This Proenza Schouler dress has already generated much conversation online since the film came out in the US. It's typical of Johnson's style in the film: simple, chic and understated. She wears it with Bottega Veneta's Silver Knot Heel Sandals. 1. Proenza Schouler, Odette Strapless Dress 2. Bottega Veneta, Knot Sandal In a more dressed-down scene, Johnson wears the Reformation Nadira dress with a grey hoodie tied around her waist and a classic pair of Converse. 3. Reformation, Nadira Dress 4. Converse, All Star Ox In Black Another floral choice, this time a Dôen top paired with straight leg blue jeans and a pair of adidas Gazelles in green. 5. Dôen, Alona Top Sensing a pattern? Dôen's floral dress with a cascading ruffle neckline might just be our favourite look so far. 6. Dôen, Nevara Dress 7. Bottega Veneta Tortoiseshell Sunglasses Nailing the effortless off-duty vibe, Johnson's cool-girl baseball cap combined with a crisp white tee and a shoulder-wrapped red knit is great - and almost every item is available to shop on the high street. 8. RED/DONE,1950s Boxy T-shirt 9. New Era MLB Core Classic 10. Samba OG Sneakers There's nothing more city-chic than a pinstripe. In this scene, Johnson wears a two piece with a white satin blouse underneath, but the real show stopper here are the Paris, Texas boots. Her skirt and blazer are both out of stock, but you can shop very similar alternatives from Nobody's Child and Abercrombie and Fitch. 11. Paris, Texas, Anja Knee High Boots 12. Nobody's Child, Pinstripe Blazer 13. Abercrombie And Fitch, Scarlett Suiting Mini Skort While perhaps a touch too warm for the current balmy weather, Johnson was spotted filming an outdoor scene in a timeless camel trench coat. Though her outerwear may lean on the luxe side, her choice of footwear and accessories are refreshingly accessible - she wore a pair of classic Nike Daybreaks (now out of stock) and a Ralph Lauren baseball cap. 14. Leset Jane, Belted Double-Breasted Wool-Blend Trench 15. Ralph Lauren, Baseball Cap Looking incredibly chic, Johnson's character wore a sheer Simkhai top while walking the streets of New York City. Miraculously, her exact top is still available to shop, which is great news for anyone looking for a sultry black top for the summer. The best part? You can shop her Gucci sunglasses and her cool-girl Nike Cortez trainers, too. 16. Simkhai, Semi-Sheer Top 17. Gucci, Rectangular Sunglasses 18. Nike, Cortez Trainers Emma Richardson is a fashion commerce writer for Grazia. She was previously a fashion and beauty commerce writer for Heat and Closer , and has contributed digital content for a variety of lifestyle brands. Emma finds much of her inspiration in celebrity style, with Sienna Miller often being a major influence, and loves a pair of ballet pumps and a trusted trench coat.

There's A White Cotton Summer Dress For Everyone – Here Are 5 Of The Best Styles To Buy Now
In 2024 we had Brat Summer: this year, it's the season of the white cotton summer dress. It's not as catchy, sure, but it's also considerably less sweaty. From minimal maxis to crisp poplin shirt dresses, the white cotton dress is the sartorial equivalent of air conditioning – a welcome respite from the cling of acrylic. (As the owner of one too many vintage nylon dresses, I am speaking from experience.) If the SS25 catwalks were anything to go by, designers are in agreement. Most ubiquitous was the white cotton shirt dress, which manifested in mini, midi and maxi forms at Alaïa, Bottega Veneta, and Erdem, respectively. More classic iterations made way for styles with a difference – a flounced hem, split sleeves, or statement cuffs, as seen on Elle Fanning at Cannes last month. The minimal maxi is another sound option for the white summer dress purists among you – it bears no unnecessary decoration, only exaggerated proportions and one or two interesting details. See Brioni's totally perfect, tent-like T-shirt dress or Khaite's very compelling tunic, which appeared on the runway layered atop a pair of silk trousers. For something with a little more romance, we present the white cotton nightie dress – the more demure cousin of the slinky slip. See Bella Hadid's collab with Frankie's bikini, or Harling Ross's collection with If Only If. Equally lovely would be a Broderie Anglaise dress, as seen at 3.1 Phillip Lim, or something with lace cutwork, as at Tove. And if you're not totally ready to relinquish Brat Summer, may we suggest a bubble hem. Alberta Ferretti and Carven proved that the white cotton summer dress can be all sorts of fun via the gathered-hem dresses they showed for SS25. Ready to slip into something a little more comfortable? Here is our edit of the best white cotton summer dresses. Easy, breezy, and not a bead of sweat in sight. Bristol-based vintage seller DuLievre's edit of antique French cotton dresses is unrivalled, while Smock London, Faune and If Only If all make modern iterations. Wear yours with a pair of block-colour ballet flats, chunky silver jewellery, and a basket bag. You can't go wrong with a crisp cotton-poplin shirt dress. Follow the simple but effective styling at Simkhai and style a sweeping maxi with a skinny black belt or do like Alaïa's Pieter Mulier, who dressed up flouncy mini dresses with strappy mules and layered necklaces. The minimal maxi's allure lies in an interesting silhouette – something with oversized proportions or an open back or split sleeves, for example. You'd be forgiven for mistaking styles by Arket for The Row and Khaite, especially when paired with leather flip flops and a single cuff. Spend all of summer in Broderie Anglaise, either in the form of a demure midi dress (with scarlet ballet flats) or something flirtier and thigh-grazing (with Nineties-inspired mules). A white lace dress will do nicely, too. Play with opacity by layering a coloured slip beneath – or, more daringly, not at all. Another bubble-hem summer is upon us, and we're not complaining; this playful detail makes the simplest of white cotton dresses that much more fun. Team Free People's white cotton mini with sleek flip flops and sea-salt hair, or try Cos's midi with jelly shoes and a beaded necklace.
