Peter Ting Collection/Review

Oasis Fashion have teamed up with award winning ceramics Designer, Peter Ting for a Flutter collection.  They have taken the beautiful hummingbird design and applied it to eleven pieces. I have purchased two of the pieces because I loved them so much and wanted to give my own opinion on them. The first item I purchased was the 'Peter Ting Pretty Tee'. This was available in the Kingston store but has now sold out in store. I purchased this on uniform. The light blue shade is really attractive and I really like the style of top. I purchased the size 8 and found this was perfect for size. Sometimes at Oasis I find that I have to go a size up on tops because of the chest department. However the size 8 gave me plenty of room to move around.

This top is also available in a jumper. The jumper is stunning too. I did try the jumper on but I much preferred the top on me.

Top - Oasis

Jamie Jeans, High waisted Ankle Grazers - Topshop (Not online but available in store)

Boots - Oasis

The next item I purchased from the Peter Ting collection was the Peter Ting Bomber Jacket. Unfortunately we never got the jacket in the Kingston store but it was available online. We had one return in a size 16 and I fell in love with it. I preferred my jackets to be oversized so I ordered one in a size 12. Plus at the moment Oasis are doing free delivery online but it is ending today.

 The jacket is really comfortable and wearable. I plan on wearing this a lot when I go back to University. There are also matching trousers to the bomber jacket.

Top -River Island

Jamie Jeans - Topshop (Available in store)

Shoes - Primark (Available in store)

Necklace - Oasis (old)

Here's a look at some of the other items from the Peter Ting Collection.

I did try on the trousers however I didn't like how they were loose on the bottom half of the leg. I know this is the style of them but I just don't suit them. I prefer a skinny jean or trouser where it is fitted. The only other item that I keep eyeing up and really like is the Peter Ting Shift Dress. This dress has been really popular online and is a classic Oasis style dress. I love the simplicity of it with the Peter Ting print.

Comment below and let me know what you think about my outfits and what you think about the Peter Collection. Which piece is your favourite?

How to save money when shopping - High Street Edition

Discounts

1. Student Discount (NUS)

If you are a student like me then you have the added benefit of getting student discount. Wooooo! A lot of stores do student discount so always ask when you go to the till point. Some stores will only accept an NUS (National Union of Students) card. You do have to sign up and pay for an NUS card. I think mine roughly cost around £10 and they last you for a year. The great thing about NUS cards is you can apply your student discount to online orders and it gets discounts in other stores. For example Superdrug only accept NUS cards. I recommend getting one if you are a student. It has saved me so much money!

The image below shows what Topshop offers for students.

2. Faulty Items

If you have worked in retail then you will probably know that you can get a discount on an item if it is faulty. It has to be a genuine fault. In most high street stores they will take 10% off an item if it is faulty. However if the fault is significant then they can sometimes take more off. Usually if you have the faulty discount it then means that you cannot return or exchange the item. So make sure you are able to fix the fault. 

3. In-store magazines

I went into River Island yesterday and picked up their in-store magazine by the shoe section. The magazine is free and when I opened it there was a discount on full price womenswear. You can save 20% when you spend £55 or more on full price. Enter the code STYLEW0914.  This offer is only valid from the 12th-19th of September and is for their website only.  

Tips

1. Collect from store

When shopping online I always hate paying the post and packaging. A lot of stores now offer a collect from store option. Also collect from store is free! So save yourself the post and packaging fee. This is why I love purchasing from ASOS because they are the only brand I know that does free post and packaging to your house.

2. Hangers

Whenever I shop in store I always ask for the hangers. I usually ask in Topshop or other Arcadia brands because their hangers are actually quite good. Stores won't give away their wooden hangers and I know a couple of stores who won't give out hangers. Although if you don't ask you won't get! It's all about pleasing the customer.

3. Comparing prices In-store and Online

If there is an item I like in River Island I usually will check if ASOS have it first. ASOS offer student discount where as River Island don't. ASOS sell River Island items and as I said it's free post and packaging. So always make sure you compare prices before you purchase!

Comment below and let me know if you have any tips when you go shopping. It's all about helping each other out.

Bestival 2014

I finally have internet connection! I'm back from Bestival. I went with two of my friends from work and had the best time ever. So I do apologise for the neglect on my blog and my Instagram. Internet connection was not my friend. I have decided to do a blog post showing my experience at Bestival. So not my usual fashion post but figured you guys might be interested. To get to Bestival we took the coach and ferry. The first photo shows us on the ferry at Lymington when we were all clean.

For our first night we went round and explored. The first place we went was a bar called Aperol Spritz. They had a photo booth so we got a cheeky snap too.

Be warned there are many selfies. This is when my hair was still clean. This shows me at our campsite. We camped in the Blue Area next to some really nice Liverpool lads. The Blue Area is known as the quiet area so fortunately we were able to get some sleep. We also camped near to the field of cows.

Heres a selfie by the massive disco ball. The theme was Desert Island Disco. So hence the massive disco ball in the background.

Here's a picture of Sam Smith. Beautfiul voice.

 We also got a bit of face painting done. I went all out with bright pink and glitter.

London Grammar were probably one of my favourite bands who played at Bestival. I never use to listen to them but after seeing them perform I would definitely listen to them. Whilst we were waiting we bumped into my brother and his mate and took some more photos.

 The Port Stage

The last and best performance of Bestival: Chic. Nile Rodgers was absolutely amazing. I pretty much knew every song they sang. I may have lost my voice due to their performance. At the end of their performance there were fireworks and the massive disco ball went up in the air and lit up. Terry <3

Here are the two Liverpool lads we camped next to in the Blue area. Their accents were amazing.

After walking all the way up the hill to get the coach we had the beautiful view of the festival. This was the last picture I took.

Bye Bestival. Comment if you went to Bestival and what was your best bit about it. I will have more photos from my disposable camera once I get it developed. I will also be doing more outfit posts now I'm back in my home town.
