Whistles Spring 2005

We all know and love the fashion by Anthropologie. Their style is always trendy, yet still manages to retain elegance. Unfortunately, Anthropologie is only available in the US. So I present you the UK answer's to Anthropologie: Whistles! Whistles' clothes are just as elegant and stylish as Anthropologie's clothes. Even Whistles' prices are similar!

Whistles' Spring 2005 collection features two themes: the Roman Holiday and the LA Style
. The key to the Roman Holiday look is sophistication, whereas the LA Style offers a more laid-back and casual look.

Here are some of my favourite items:

My absolute favourite item by Whistles this season. So pretty and flowy. Unfortunately for me, it costs 95 pounds.

Purple cardigan that can be worn for a polite, sophisticated look, and for the boho look.

A pair of fun boho looking wedges. This style is very commonly seen in UK shops this season.

Can be worn with long pants for a more mature look, or worn with shorts for a more casual take. Are Whistles' clothes versatile or what?

Whistles denim that is obviously taken out from the LA Style collection.

One thing that is very unfortunate about UK brands is that their sites are usually not as complete as US brands' sites. But it's always worth going to the Whistles site to have a look because it is well designed and oh so pretty!

thanks for address, it seems like a great shop, but sadly when you neither live in the us nor uk (france for me), you can't shop to either of those :(

LOL, this is yet another reason for me to want to move to the UK. The fashion there is just so much more funky and unique!

Not crazy about the clothes, but the shoes are uber.

My friend Georgia has all these wallpaper-print Whistles jackets that I keep stealing whenever I visit. She really should stop inviting me over...

The website where they combine the clothes into outfits is cool--I like their touches of bright green in Roman Holiday, and how they broke up the matched suits; if you had a conservative event to attend, you could match them back up.

that first skirt is identical (and I really mean it; it doesn't look similar, it is IDENTICAL)to a skirt I bought last year at a Canadian store called Smart Set. I bought it for only 25$ canadian (It was half-off, but 50$ canadian is still a way better price than 95 pounds).
Anyways, Smart Set is a really great canadian store that sells really nice clothing for really good prices. check out the website: www.smart-set.com (although the website isn't very good...instore is much better). If you're ever in Canada, you should def. visit one (after, you know, the obvious: Holt Renfrew etc)
p.s. I don't work for them or anything, I just thought that you might like to know about them!
