Meadham Kirchhoff's Weird and Wonderful Topshop Collection

Today, Meadham Kirchhoff's designer collaboration with Topshop went up for sale!

If you are unfamiliar with the sort of clothing they have unveiled, here's a selection of my favourite pieces.




Flattering cardigans, adorable blouses, pastel jumpers, and kawaii skirts! I am really in love with this aesthetic, but not so in love with the Topshop price tag. I've been pretty unimpressed with the quality of their garments before, given they are one of the more expensive high street brands. But I am hoping a designer collaboration will mean something closer to designer quality, and if that's the case, the prices seem fair. I hope I get to see the clothing in person before it's all gone. I'm not so sure this is the sort of collection that would sell out quickly, but then again, Minju Kim for H&M was gone in 2 days and that was full of bizarre items!

Anyway... as you can see, my favourite items from Meadham Kirchhoff's collection are the more muted, cute-themed ones that seem heavily influenced by Japanese street fashion. I think it's great to see what is usually a shop I would never go into branch out into something different, perhaps appealing to a wider range of people. 

You can find the collection on the Topshop website, where you will see garish colours, and crazy shoe designs!

What do you think of this collection?

Cute High Street Finds: Miss Selfridge's Romantic Style

I'm really not into shopping on the high street, with the vast majority of my wardrobe coming from online purchases. However, I do occasionally see items which catch my eye.

My favourite mainstream fashion shop is probably Miss Selfridge, because they tend to have a softer, more romantic theme with their clothing than other shops. Here's some items I've picked out which can currently be found on their website.


The faux fur collar is super cute and has been a pretty popular winter item in various J-fashion styles for a while now. I like the bow detail on the jumper. You can keep warm whilst feeling elegant.


The detail on the collar of this blouse is so pretty! I think it would look great paired with this tapestry skirt for a mature yet adorable coordinate. I am very tempted to buy this!



I love red coats, and this one is no exception! This coat also comes in "nude" (I hate this term for a colour-- that is not what I look like nude!) The only drawbacks are that it's probably only suitable for mild weather rather than winter, and it doesn't look like it has pockets. Still, the bows are really lovely.

When it comes to high street shopping, I am very much against buying items at full retail, and like to wait for the sales! I have gotten some great bargains on items which I would have thought would be so popular there'd be none of them left to even be in the sale. Shopping only in sales does mean you may miss out on certain items though, so if you really love it, then buy it!

I hope you enjoyed this post! Have you seen any cute or quirky high street items lately? I'd love to see them in the comments!
