It’s hard to remember what summer feels like when you’re stuck in an especially elongated winter frame of mind. You’re sick of the sight of your winter coat, you judge time by how often Corrie comes on TV and your google homepage automatically clicks into pages of teasing tour operators.
But believe it or not, somewhere out there, in the not-as-far-away-as-you-think future, is the summer. It’s the light at the end of a stormy, cold and let’s just say it; miserable tunnel.
But just for a quick minute recently, high-street hero Oasis lived up to its name and gave us all hope as it previewed it’s Spring/Summer 14 collections at its head office at Stephen’s Green.
There were clashing prints, ice-cream coloured sorbet tones, aviary prints and pretty florals, as well as the odd denim dog. Cute, I know.
Having been a former employee at the store, I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the brand. Its signature styles, classic structure dresses and feminine prints are a bit of a home comfort but you can count on a few surprises being thrown in the mix too.
Keep an eye out for a gallery of my favourite of the SS14 picks from the collection…
