When you’re shopping on the cheap, it’s easy to pick up simple basics to bolster your wardrobe for everyday wear.

But there is a way to take your simple stuff into the realm of trend-setter style – and it’s all in the accessories.

Luckily, the high street is rife with awesome accessories, and jewellery is often one of the least expensive items at designer retailers..even more so when they’re in sale.

Here are some of my favourite designer and high street pieces that’ll take your everyday look into the stratosphere.

1. Kenneth Jay Lane is one of my favourite designers when it comes to jewellery; with bold designs and *reasonable* prices compared to most. But this Embellished Cuff is out of control! Originally available for £209, it’s been marked down to £83.78 at TheOutnet.com. It’s exotic, it screams summer luxe, and it would look amazing on a tanned arm! With a 60% discount, that’s some seriously good buying.

2. I’m sorry, but I’m hooked. Kenneth Jay Lane is up again, with this lovely Gold-plated Bracelet, that has an even lovelier price! At £32.70, it has 60% off it’s original price, but it’s still 100% glam.

3. These Lantern Drop Earrings from Dorothy Perkins are perfect for adding a pop of colour to an outfit to really make it stand out. Swept back hair, simple dress, and a touch of elegance with these…beautiful! Oh, did I mention they’re just £7?

4. I actually have this ring from New Look – and I can testify to it’s outfit-making credentials. I love it’s clean lines and chunky size and it adds instant luxe to your look. It’s wearing a little, but I have been wearing it a lot! At £6, you can’t complain.

5. Now this is what I call a day-to-night piece of jewellery! The ACB Sentry Necklace with Leather is quite the stunner – and it’ll never go out of style in 100% lambskin leather. It’s massively discounted, get this: it’s been marked down from £165 to £66!
