Wardrobe Essential ...

Every month I choose one of my favourite pieces on the high street or by an online retailer which I believe is a wardrobe essential. This months wardrobe essential is a basic oversized tee from ASOS.com. ASOS provides us with amazing, affordable pieces. With over 1500 lines being added to ASOS every week they offer us a huge variety of trend driven pieces. 

I love the oversized trend, particularly in Winter. This tee, at just £12 is very affordable and is offered in three colours. Black, white and a dark grey. Instead of just buying one, at that price you could afford to buy all three.

I just purchased it in white and black! (I couldn't resist)
plus it is 25% off for students so I got them for £18.

Visual Merchandising

Although I am passionate about a career in buying post graduation, I also have a love for visual merchandising. There are two retailers on the high street who I think have amazing visual merchandising. Topshop & River Island. 

My favourite part of River Island  is their shoe and accessory sections. The chairs, rugs and general area is always incredible. In Nottingham, we have the first 'Accessory Boutique' which features RI shoes, bags and a wide range of accessories. Also, their window displays are always in their own league; showcasing the best accessories of the season. 




Topshop create stories throughout their store, with different trends, colours and textures being positioned together to reflect the seasons trends. Not only is their in store VM exceptionally good, but their window displays are very unique, on trend and eye-catching!

River Island AW

On River Islands website, they have a section called 'shop by' which filters what trend/style you want to look at. My favourite trend this season is studs. This trend first emerged onto the high street at the beginning of this year and it has continued to stay prominent on the high street. River Island in particular have created a studded collection for this season which is not like any other. 


This jumper is one of my favourite pieces in store at the moment. It is only £35 and although it is on trend, it also is a timeless piece because of the colour and style. 

Black stud western boots

Although these boots are a little more pricey, they are completely worth the money. This style of boot is all over the high street, however, this particular boot with the added detail of studs and a zip makes this boot perfect for this season.
