My Obsessions: Brandy Melville!


If you watch any American, teenage beauty "gurus" on YouTube, then you'll have most likely heard of the store that is "Brandy Melville". The clothing store sells cute, Californian-style clothing. The unique selling point of the products is that they are all "one size fits all" excluding their pants of course.  This means that the clothes have a slouchy and comfortable feel to them and tend to look different and unique on everyone.

A taste of some of their clothes

They carry an amazing range of clothing from pretty floral skirts to slouchy knits, and an awesome range of graphic tees. They even have "Mean Girls" inspired slogans, yes that's right! Their clothing is also reasonably priced as you can see from the prices above. The priciest items would be the knitwear. It's all really good quality stuff, you definitely get what you pay for. The tops are so soft and comfortable and the same goes for everything else. They also offer a great range of jewellery, all very inexpensive. However, the quality of their jewellery is not great and tends to break easily. 

The only thing that is a bit of a nuisance is that it's pretty difficult to get a hold of. Of course, this depends where you live. They have very limited locations across the USA and there are locations in Europe also. This can be a bonus in some aspects because it makes it more exclusive, thus less people having the same clothes as you (something I hate!).  See here for a full list of their locations. 

I have been to both their Munich and Paris locations, and the stores are just adorable! They completely embody the brand. They also have a website which you can check out here. They do deliver internationally as far as I know, but I have heard a few horror stories about their shipping and delivery so bear that in mind and do your research before making an order!

My Obsessions: Wildfox Clothing!

Hey Everyone,

I am a big fan of comfy clothing. I can honestly say I try as much as possible to wear leggings or jeggings rather than jeans purely for comfort reasons! Something that can be difficult, is being comfy whilst still looking stylish and put together. The perfect clothing brand to achieve this is Wildfox.

I'll start by letting you know a bit about the brand if you've never heard of it. Wildfox is an American vintage-inspired knitwear brand based in Los Angeles, California. It is inspired by sleepovers, beautiful books, fairies, dreams, vintage t-shirts and friendship. 
I mean what's not to love?

I own a few Wildfox pieces, with their baggy beach jumpers being my favourite item of theirs. The brand is what I can only describe to be the epitome of comfort. Everything is made to the highest quality with the softest of materials. Their clothing feels like wearing a blanket! Everything has the cutest designs, images and slogans also. If jumpers and sweatpants aren't really your thing, Wildfox also have a great range of knitwear aswell as swimsuits and accessories to name just a few. 

As you can see, Wildfox is also very loved among celebrities.
With great clothing, however, comes a price. Wildfox is seriously not cheap and is the major downside to the brand. It is considered a "couture" brand so most of their clothing is around the €100+ mark with their knitwear being €200+. 

Wildfox is available from a number of retailers in the UK such as Harvey Nichols, Harrods and Selfridges. If you live across the pond you can find Wildfox in stores such as Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom. If you live anywhere else, including Ireland, Wildfox is available from a number of online retailers including ASOS, Shopbop, Revolve and of course their website.
