river island

Advantages: great shop
Disadvantages: n/a

...When it comes to shops on the high street and i need an outfit River Island is one of the first shops that i will go into as i almost everytime manage to find something tht i like. Although shopping in River Island is deadly with my store card i get very carried away. River Island is a shop that is in most towns and also has a website if you do not have the chance to pop to your local branch and recently they have started putting sales items online so you can grab a bargain anytime. River Island is a shop that stores ladies and mens wear. In the lasies sections you have footwear, jeans, tops, jackets, shorts, dresses, accessories and skirts. They stock sizes 6 to 16 6-16.. You have clothes for all occassions and at an affordable price. I also think that there is a high quality to al the items they sell. River Island are...

River Island

Advantages: Excellent quality products and stylish clothes
Disadvantages: Lack of dresses

...Although this is one of my favourite shops, i have to admit im not as much of a fan as what i used to be in my teens! At school i was nicknamed miss river island, as everything i wore was from there. Recently though, i find the collection of clothing a little more limited to certain styles than what it used to be. River Island caters for those who like to follow fashion whilst keeping their own twist on it so you can stand out from the crowd. They also have a very stylish menswear collection available. SIZES As i am petite, i love the fact that river island cater for the smaller girl with their range of trousers and jeans, the sizes range from a size 6 to an 18, and the leg lengths on trousers come in short, regular or long. This is ideal for many, but i recommend trying trousers on anyway as sometimes the lengths and waist sizes...

~~The River Island Experience~~

Advantages: Good quality clothes, 'classy' clothes
Disadvantages: Jewellery is rubbish quality

...Introduction ----------------- I first started shopping in River Island when I was about 14 years old. Back then all I could afford to buy from this store was clothes from the sale rail! But now I am older with more money I quite often buy my clothes from here, not only is it a stylish shop with clothes of high quality but it is also a pleasant experience to shop there. The Designs ------------------- River Island doesn't follow fashion as such as much as other high street stores. By this I mean their clothes have quite a classic look and every year they will stock similar clothes to the year before. Their clothes are generally smart looking, even their casual range is more like smart-casual. They like their glitter and sparkle at River Island, and they will often include glitter, sequins, diamonte and jewels on all types...

River Island Mad!

Advantages: Girlie, sexy, fashionable, good quality
Disadvantages: Bit pricey!

...I have been shopping with River Island for a few years now. I must admit for the basics like plain t-shirts and casual clothing I do generally stick to Primark but when it comes to things like skinny jeans and glam clothing for evening wear I always turn to River Island. The first thing that attracted me to River Island was the amount of choice they had. I noticed all sorts of things on my first visit, the first thing I noticed was, my favourite, jeans! There is SO much choice in jeans its unreal. Skinny jeans, bootleg, high waist jeans, bleached jeans, dark jeans, black jeans, jeans with patterns and the new trend of the baggy jeans is now over running the store. With the tops, again there is no end of different styles. Cap sleeves, short sleeves, tank tops, cami tops, corsets, etc you get the point! Another thing that struck me...

River Island!

Advantages: sizes available
Disadvantages: can sometimes be expensive

...river island is where i get all my clothes... i love it!!! i do find it quite expsensive though so for my birthday and at christmas i just ask for river island vouchers and theni try to make them last as long as possible. i havent got an account card with them yet as im worried about how much i would spend on it, but i didnt realise they had a points scheme which sounds really good! also when they have they're sales on you can get most of the stuff you've seen that season at a quarter of the price which i thinks excellent! i would deffinatley reccomend shopping at river island i dont know where i'd shop if i couldn't shop there...lol so happy shopping and look for bargains xx...

river island

Advantages: good quality
Disadvantages: pricey

...river island is a high street clothes store that stocks a wide variety of mens and womens clothing, accessories and foot wear. I love shopping in river island when i am looking for something to wear for a special occasion as they have a very nice selection of formal wear that you dont always find in the general clothes stores, they have a lovely range of womens suits with either skirts or trousers aswell as a lot of lovely blouses, they have something to suit all age ranges but not necesarily all pockets as there prices are quite high compared with other stores i use which is why i dont buy my every day clothing from there as i find that the quality of the clothing isnt any better than in asda or matalon so is quite expensive for jeans and tops. They have a nice range of shoes which are also a little on the pricey side so i very...

River Island - Pricy but nice clothes

Advantages: Good ranges, fashionable, neat stores
Disadvantages: Expensive

...River Island sells a very nice range of clothes and is one of my favourite clothing retailers on the high street. They often sell tight fitting T-shirts and jeans for those who like tight fitting clothing, but also do a nice range of hoodies and cardigans that go nicely with anything. I have found that I am really not a fan of the T-shirts and accessories they sell, as they often model around an 'emoish' style, which I am not really into. However, I do like a lot of the hoodies and cardigans they do, as they can go nicely with almost anything. Most hoodies and cardigans sell for around £25, a little more than some other clothing retailers, but I would have to say the quality is much better from River Island than other stores. In comparison to other high street clothing retailers, they are a little more expensive than your average shop...

RIVER ISLAND 2008 !!!

Advantages: great 2008 collection, everything your looking for to make a fashion statement
Disadvantages: colouring in jeans always run

...River Island has a large range of men%u2019s and women%u2019s fashion and jewelry shoes and bags. Any time any where, colour or occation you are sure to find what ever you need at this store! River island can seem over pricey sometimes but for the quality of the garments they are very reasonable. The only down side i have is with the jeans for the 1st few wash's the colours will run! so no whites in with the jeans... I find the simple tops are the best they are cheap and on average from £10.99 £16.99 easily dressed up or down depending on the event. They have also brought in some new swimwear which is very hot for 2008 !!! And the prices are great ! COLCHESTER BRANCH FAB REFERB...

The River Island Attitude

Advantages: Excellent range of clothing and accessories - especially shoes
Disadvantages: Customer service, I'm afraid

...wouldn't possibly be able to fit into anything they stocked, would I? Ridiculous of course but this brings me on to the subject of this latest op - River Island (ladieswear) - specifically the Cambridge branch. As stated above, I was feeling just the tiniest bit fragile as I trailed from shop to shop, finally finding a temporary resting place in River Island. The clothes seemed to represent everything I love - glitter and sparkle, coupled with the latest fashions. Good so far. I then selected the outfits I wanted to try to sqeeze my bum into and took them to the changing room, where a girl was waiting to hand me the little quantity tag. Great - no complaints. I then tried (and failed) my clothes on. No good, hmm? Back on the hangers and out I went, deflated. Where'd that nice girl go? So I stood and waited at the entrance to...

Cry Me A River

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Too much military going on

...You see me, I love shopping till I drop. My feet might be killing me, my boyfriend nagging me, my stomach rumbling with hunger...but no...I will continue to shop. Who doesn't like a bit of retail therapy once in a while, ehm I mean like every Saturday and Sunday... Even you guys who do not like to confess to it, you love it really. As long as it's shopping for yourselves. I am lucky in some respects as I have certain connections that guarantee me discounts in most shops for most things. Take for instance Selfridges. I have three friends who work in different departments who work there. Do you guys and girls know what this means? 22% off the price even if it’s on sale. The best discount however is at River Island, which by the way I used to love a year or so ago, where I see 40% off my bill when I am ready to shop...
