If you are a fan of the UK high street shops then you will have noticed that it is becoming easier to access the fashionable collections of some of the UK's best. I love to shop at ZARA, H&M, Warehouse, Top Shop, Marks and Spencers, NEXT and Oasis whenever I return home. We have TopShop here, and ZARA and H&M are opening at the end of the year, NEXT and Marks and Spencers have been shipping here for a year or two now and now some of the other stores deliver here too!
What I love about shopping overseas is that you can buy clothing or Accessories that you probably wont see over here, and you can buy clothing at a reasonable price that looks as though it is expensive. The quality, detail, prints and designs from the UK stores usually surpass that of the NZ high street.
I checked out three of my favourite UK stores on-line to see what they are offering. Even though they are featuring Summer clothing, you can still pick up knitwear, coats, and long sleeve tops from all of these sites. I looked at, Warehouse, Top Shop and Oasis, and picked some of my favourite pieces from each store.
WAREHOUSE
Warehouse is known for great work-wear but also produces funky clothing with attention to detail styling. They offer free delivery on orders over $150.00.
Warehouse Balloon Sleeve Rib Jumper $106.00, Ditsy Floral Top $82.00, Stripe Front Tie Dress $106.00, Scatter Floral Shirt Dress $59.00, Button Shoulder Top $82.00.
