... But when I’m leaving the safety of my four walls I always like to look my best, as do all girls of course and that’s why it’s important for me to be dressed comfortably (and unnecessarily expensively my bank manager would argue)!

An Oasis Among Clutter!

Advantages: Calming Stores, Friendly Staff, Great Clothing!
Disadvantages: Slightly pricey!

...we used to peek into Oasis in awe, back then it seemed sooo expensive and grown up, plus a size 8 simply drowned us! But in the past few years Oasis has become one of my regular haunts, for clothing and accessories alike.

** The Brand **

Oasis currently has 218 stores across 12 counties with the UK being responsible for 180 of these stores as well as trading within 107 concessions e.g. Debenhams.

The ...
.../>
The typical Oasis customer is stated as being “fashion conscious, twenty something women.” And they pride themselves on keeping the brand “colourful and fun!”

** The Store **

One thing that always distinguishes a “good” store from a “bad” store in my mind is the amount of clutter present when you walk in, without meaning to sound harsh or condemn a store I’ll let you into a little secret – New Look positively ... more

...around the waist. With Oasis I rarely have this problem though I do find that I can not stick to one size in there. Depending on the style and design determines my size, so I always have to flicker between two sizes but by shopping in there for long now I can usually tell by looking at the item on the hanger which is the best size. They offer gift vouchers and as far as I know they do not have an expirer date on them. They come in the values £5, ...
...spacious but not overall spacious. The stores are well presented, clean and have a good lay out. Staffs are constantly replemshing stock. If the size you want is not on the rack they are quiet willing to go and see if they have one in the stock room or ring around to see if another store has it in stock. If you go during the week you will probably find there is hardly any queue. Though on the weekend it can be quiet busy though staff do try and ...

And after all, it's my wonderwall...

Advantages: Great clothes!!
Disadvantages: Not so great prices!!

...Well, I adore the place! Oasis seems to be one of those shops that is either loved or hated, and I'm afraid that I have quite a severe case of Oasis-addiction. Anyway, what do I think on a slightly more detailed level? If I was to describe Oasis's clothes, I would probably use words such as "girly", "quirky"(ish), "camp"(!) and "sparkly" (If you read my Urban decay review you'll know that sparkle is the way to my heart!!). Now seeing as these qualities ...
...I love this shop! Oasis is certainly not a cheap shop. Price-wise I'd put Oasis somewhere between Next and French Connection. For those of you who *aren't* shopoholics, I'll put that in real money. A plain Tshirt in Oasis will cost about £10; their decorative tops usually cost about £30; skirts are usually £30 - £40; and you probably won't find a pair of trousers for less than £40. Now if all that sounds a little too expensive to you (which it ...

I like Oasis, I do

Advantages: Sales
Disadvantages: Prices

...with them all! Basically Oasis has its good points and its bad points. Firstly, the quality of the clothing in Oasis is generally good. You would expect that for the price you pay though. The range of the clothing offered is actually quite varied. There are casual items (jeans, jumpers,t-shirts), trendy items (dresses, trousers, amazing tops etc for clubbing) and there are smart items too (suits, jackets, skirts, shirts, and not forgetting the shoes). ...
...only ever really shop in Oasis when I have a little extra to spend or there's a sale on. One point I feel i have to include is Oasis' sizes. Basically, their clothes are really only aimed at the smaller woman, a size 14 in Oasis is probably the equivalent to a 12 at Top Shop or Dorothy Perkins, they dont seem to include a range for the larger woman. This is probably what is lacking. When it comes to acessories, Oasis has them!! Bags, shoes, jewellery, ...

Oasis

Advantages: Great quality and varied selections
Disadvantages: Sales aren't often that great - although you do get the occasional 'find'!

...may feel the pricing in Oasis is perhaps a little expensive (when compared to other shops), but I do think the prices are justified. Although it is true you can get similar designs and fashions in the cheaper high-street shops, the quality is not the same. For instance, I have bought 2 skirts from Oasis this week, one tweed fishtail and another chocolate-brown suede and they were £45 each. £45 is not a lot at all to pay for a knee-length leather-suede ...
...to last. Oasis carry a good range of current as well as classic fashions, for most occassions, and the store card offers good benefits, such as card holder evenings, money-off vouchers at certain times if you spend over a certain amount, plus every month-or-so they have a new offer for card holders to get a percentage discount off one of their ranges. Their accessories are very nice, and I can (nearly!) always find something to match the items I ...

Sorry I'm not a size 10......

Advantages: the label?
Disadvantages: sizing, pricing, attitude

...make a purchase Oasis is what I call a "small person" shop, a shop designed for people with not a scrap of fat on them anywhere,(I'm size 14 and can never find anything to fit.) plus there sizings are really small so a size 14 is more like a 12 which I find really irritating. Although they sell high fashion items I find that the prices are pretty high in Oasis, and although I cannot comment on the quality of clothing having never purchased anything ...

hurray for cheap and cheerfulness

Advantages: cheap and choice
Disadvantages: cluttered

yes, yes, more please...if only everything was this easy to find. This shop is a definate must for all you girls and young women out there, whatever the occassion. Remarkably, Claires manages to cater for all ages, as long as you're prepared for a bit of a rummage. There are hair bands and fun scrinchies for the kids, whilst, often hidden away, is a huge variety of really gorgeous accesseries. That, despite only costing on average about £2, look like a million dollars. Well, I certainly can't tell the diffenece between a necklace I bought here, or one I got for £10 in Oasis. This is the ultimate shop for finding tiny little additions to your outfit...things that people will notice, even if you also spent £50 on your dress. Little flowers to put in your hair, sparkly earings..you name it, they've got it. And with prices this ...

Review of Claire's Accessories (Shop)

I don't want an accessories shop for kiddies...

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Not very good quality

there is usually a cheaper alternative, which is far from what I wanted. Although Claire's accessories is cheaper, I would rather spend a few more pounds purchasing a piece of jewellery which is more well-designed, of better quality and more long-lasting. In the long run, I think your money is more well spent that way. I think that a lot of customers have the same view as I do, hence Claire's accessories is increasing aimed at the younger market. Now, if I do my accessories shopping, I would go to places such as Oasis and Accessorise which have fantastic jewellery and I would definitely recommend them/ ...

Review of Claire's Accessories (Shop)

Deby Deby Debs

Advantages: Wondeful staff - lol
Disadvantages: some find it pricy

. Debenhams offers extras that other stores do not, such as a personal shopper service which is completely free and puts the customer under no obligation to buy, and a wedding gift service which lets you set a wedding list based on any items in the store and is constantly up dated so you don't get the same gift twice.. They have numerous concessions, as for example Lewises and Kendals do (or did in the case of Lewises on Market St which is no more), but there choice is much wider : it would not be unusual to find Top Shop, Jane Norman, Oasis, Kookai, Wilson, Dorma, Sheridan, Gateway and Thomas Cook all under one roof, along with much much more. Speaking of Thomas Cook, customers can use their store cards to book holidays at the in store branch which frees up credit on other cards for different things. As for the cards, customers reciever 10 ...
