If you don’t know about the Arcadia brands, I need to educate you. Based out of London it consists of Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Wallis — two brands I have not yet experienced, Burton and BHD and two we’re very familiar with, Topshop and Topman. Consisting of apparel, shoes, and amazing accessories here’s the run down — if you like affordable clothes that look hip and expensive, put Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridges on your radar. If you’re plus size, get ready to exclusively shop at Evans and if you’re more conservative, business (think upscale Banana Republic with some spunk), check out Wallis.
Having recently stopped by the Arcadia fall preview (which launches starting the end of August), and there are so many amazing two piece crop tops and skirts, jackets and fun dresses from Miss Selfridge! I am such a fan of this line, I think I like it even more then TopShop since it’s so much more affordable has so many fun pieces. Everything in their line looks like it came out of a high end hip boutique in Soho. Also these boots need to be mine come fall…
And all of their jewelry…
Dorthy Perkins has a lot of great pieces as well — I always feel like the clothes on the site doesn’t do them as much justice as when I seem them in person. NYC needs to open a story of them, Miss Selfridge and Evans stat! But how cute is this Going Out Out clutch by Dorthy Perkins? If it looks familiar it’s because I feature it every five seconds on my instagram page.
Wallis, which as I mentions is a bit older and more reserved is known for their dress coats and look at these shoes! These are great for the office!
