top shopping

We made the trip to the glorious Topshop. We managed to get there right before it got so crowded that a line formed to get inside. I want to know how they get to that point, knowing that they can't let in anyone else until someone comes out. Shopping in New York is always crowded and it didn't feel anymore cramped than any other store.

I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Nothing stood out as mind-blowing fantastic to me. Dare I even say it looked like stuff I could get for less at Urban Outfitters and Forever 21. Granted they are all similar in their own ways but I expected better from Topshop. The one item that stood out for us was a lovely scarf, but at $70 it wasn't happening.


We'll check it out often but until I win the lottery it will be a a total splurge for me to be able to buy anything there. I have rent to pay people.

huzzah

The time has come dear people. Topshop is finally open!!! We have been so excited for this day and now that it is here we are going to wait til next week to see the glorious new store. Why? Because that place is going to be crazytown for the next few days and it would put us in crankytown. 'nuff said. Shopping is supposed to be fun not bootcamp. Details to follow once we have made the trip.

lovely lamp

A month ago we went to a party in Chelsea. It was a co-worker's of Katie's so of course he had a great place overflowing with style. My favorite item was a lamp he had on a low table. I was so happy to find out that it is at West Elm so now I can have the lamp too! I can't get it til it goes on sale or even until we move to our bigger place. It is so lovely. The lampshade proportion is what drew me in at first and I love the sky blue color that it comes in. I will work extra at my part time job just so this lamp can join the family.

happy happy joy joy

We are giddy with delight and skipping and dancing for joy with the news that TopShop is opening in New York this fall. We have not stopped smiling since we confirmed this great news. Heidi heard that they were shopping around for a space over a year ago. Now our dreams have come true and even better it will be one block from where Heidi works in Soho. We have loved TopShop ever since our first trip to England in 1999 but it's a bit painful to shop there now with the terrible conversion rates. We'll be there on opening day (whenever that is). YEAH!
