Not one but two! I fell into Oasis on Upper Regent Street this week due to a down pour of rain. I'll be honest Oasis is my favourite high street shop. I like the store, the choice and over recent years the injection of fresh design talent. Oasis were very supportive of my film making giving me access to the Argyll St store for filming but that doesn't influence me in anyway when it comes to my picks of the week!
I felt that Oasis briefly went off the boil when Topshop reached the peak of its ascendancy but in the last two years Oasis have pulled themselves back into the game.
Two tops among the many pleasing affordable garments in store caught my eye for entirely different reasons. My first selection is due to a recent development in my life, a love of the Union Jack motif. Apart from a brief phase in the mid 80s when I wore union jack socks I felt no love for its fashioned used. The union jack Chanel bag left me cold - still does, but put petit garcon in a tree house with a union jack flag and voila I'm smitten. New Look do a great little clutch bag but I just loved this t-shirt in Oasis.
And then my eye spied this little number - it's got stripes (yah!) and a cute trompe l'oeil detail which I find growing on me
Which to choose!
PS apologies for small pics I must get better ones direct from the PRs instead of nabbing off website!
Love them !
ReplyDeleteHi there-lovely choices and great ideas for Christmas too!
ReplyDeleteI think you should go for the striped Trompe L'oeil, Make Do Style.
ReplyDeleteI'd love that t-shirt. I'm going to investigate and see if they'll ship here.
ReplyDeleteNo dice. Boo hoo!
ReplyDeleteTis not often I'll say this about something non-vintage, but I MUST HAVE THAT TOP!!! The second one I mean....wow. Love.
ReplyDeleteLove that pocket tee!

The second one I say, definitely! Very cute.
ReplyDeleteUnion Jacks are a bit hit and miss I find, theres such a fine line between cool brit look and Kate Moss/Geri Halliwell wannabe... (no pun intended)
I love a trompe l'oeil tee. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm never the one to choose anything else over stripes... so my pick would obviously be the second one! I like the buttoned pockets and that little exaggerated shoulder, even though I can't see it too clearly in this tiny little picture. :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are great! I never wear collars, so that trompe l'oeil is parfait!
ReplyDeleteI have a loathing of glitter so I'm not keen on the first one, but the second one looks gorg!! Love the stripes, pockets and ruffle shoulders very Sonia Rykiel, buy it!
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I never go into Oasis, and I really should. I think it's because the store near me always has the door closed (not very inviting) but I think I'll just have to ignore that fact and go have a look at their stok.

That second T is soooooooo cool!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it.
Hope you're having a nice time, dear

You're right about Oasis lifting their game in recent months. Nice picks, too. xx
ReplyDeleteThe second one!
