University Fashion......

Well...Unfortunately this is to be my last 4couture.com blog! After nearly a year working here I am off to Southampton University to undertake further study! It’s an exciting time with loads to look forward to but also loads to think about so I thought that I would make my last blog for people who might be in the same situation as me. There is so much to think about taking when you move away but on my course especially, I am also thinking about clothes to take and anything new that I want to buy before I go. Knowing that most students work on rather limited budgets ( :( ! ), it may be a sensible idea to buy a few statement pieces that will last me my time at university before I go. So here are my top picks of what’s around at the moment!

With the weather the way it is at the moment, we’ll soon be thinking about a new winter coat and this year it will more important than ever for me with all the walking I’ll be doing. Topshop have got an amazing range of jackets and coats to start the season off and I particularly love the colour of this parka (see right). It is something that will last you such a long time and can be dressed to look stylish as well as being practical. I also think this military cape is gorgeous and would look amazing with a pair of winter boots. Pick either up on the Topshop website at www.topshop.com.

Speaking of winter boots, ASOS have some great pairs if you’re on a budget but still want something high fashion. Lace up boots are still definitely on fashion into the winter season and I absolutely love these cute wedged ones which are a bargain for £55.00! Pick a pair up for yourself at http://www.asos.com/Women/Shoes/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=4172.

Topshop’s studio brands have also got some great items on the web this season. I particularly like some of the pieces from brand “Love”, especially their range of pinafore dresses. These dresses can be worn on their own in summer and can take you all the way through to winter and be worn with thick tights and boots. This military style one is a great colour for lasting you right through the seasons. There’s also some great tee brands including brand ‘Grey Scale’ who have some amazing t-shirts all in black and white. I really love this tee with the wing image which will give effortless style perfect for any student!

There are still a lot of bargains around the shops and on the web as a lot of sales are running later than usual. Check out the last sale pieces on www.asos.com and also www.my-wardrobe.com who both still have lots to look through. Also check out the Ebay Outlet at www.ebay.co.uk/outlet as you can sometimes grab something fab at a fraction of the original price!

That’s it from me! Have fun shopping as always :)
