When it comes to our purse strings, there is a lot of value in scouring the British high street for a bargain. While many of us covet designer brands we see on our favourite A-listers, it is a relief to know that we can still look incredible in pieces that our favourite stores, such as F&F and River Island.
Shopping on the high street does not mean we should have to scrimp on style; in fact, there are plenty of retailers who are creating luxurious garments that wouldn't look out of place in a high-end boutique.
To make your budget-friendly shopping a little easier, we've put together a list of our favourite pieces this week.
