Whistle for it


Anyone who's knows me will know that I have something of a soft spot for Whistles.  Invariably as I have got older, I have got wiser (fact!) and I look for something more than the throwaway crap aimed at style hungry, cash poor teens and twenty somethings.  And so Whistles has become my fail safe shop of choice.  Amazing basics, directional work gear and more than enough sassy stuff for playtime, without any of the silliness or fussiness seen in similarly pitched stores.

If you like it, has become my Topshop.  In my twenties I could always rely on Topshop for something, anything ... but then comes the stark realization that in fact, it's not that cheap, it's not that well made and it makes me look like I'm trying to hard to be 'trendy' (read: old)

That Whistles is now under the creative control of former Topshop brand director, Jane Shepherdson is probably no coincidence then.  The only difference being the brand and it's established demographic for whom she now waves her magic wand.  

Anyway, I digress.  What I am really trying to say here, is that have a pretty damn fabulous sale on (70% peeps!)  I myself have just picked up some very lovely vintage sunnies, some to-die-for skinnies and a rather lovely acid washed plain white tee.  Not earth shattering style news I hear you say?  Well no, quite frankly but all I'm saying is, its well worth a look.  End of.

Check out the sale by clicking on the Whistles icon here on your very right hand side ...  

PS. Today sees the first wave of their fantastical Autumn/Winter collection hit online and instore.   Get involved.
