I had to respond to the post “April 2 – TopShop NY Crosses the Pond,” since British super brand TopShop is rather fabulous and I’d like to share some of my favorite picks from their current selection. All affordable and hip, these pieces will soon be available on US soil!
Bettle X-Ray Tunic pictured above – approx $25.62 (listed at £18.00)
This funky long top is an easy way to spice up your summer wardrobe in comfortable cotton. This can be worn in an easy look over jeans and sandals, or decked out with shiny leggings and chunky heels. I may just have to purchase this number when the TopShop store opens in New York!
Hulk Jelly Gladiator Sandal - approx $14.22 (listed at £10.00)
This adorable flat is perfect for summer since it carries the gladiator trend and is made of comfortable and durable rubber. Available in bright green, blue, and orange, you can buy one in every color and still have cash left to go to the beach.
Wavy Stripe Dress approx $45.81 (listed at £35.00)
This piece is quite a fun sundress in cream with orange and red stripes near the hem. The exposed silver zipper front adds a pop of high fashion yet remains accessible and totally wearable. Indeed it is the perfect dress to wear with a cardigan on a night out or to run around town during the day. To be daring, one can pair this with the orange Hulk Jelly Gladiator Sandals!
So what do you think of these pieces; are you excited to see TopShop in the US?

the dress is $70
the shoes are $20
and the top is $36
there’s an american option on the website, just click the little flag at the top right. website, of course, is topshop.com.
as an american living in britain, ive come to love topshop, but, i have to say, they’ve hiked up the american prices considerably. topshop, however, has been available for online orader in the us for some time now. i also wouldn’t put much stock in the ny shop having everything on the site, i’d imagine that they’re only stocking it with the current lines, not the old ones still hanging around the british shops and online.

I love Top Shop! Most people on here probably do not know the first Item on this list is an HR Giger print rip off, but i will give them props for loving the master.
http://www.hrgiger.com/
HR was most famous for doing Emerson Lake and Palmers record Brain Salad Surgery. He also did Dead Kennedy’s Frankenchrist record, which was band in the US for having a field of falic penis’s and vagina’s all over it.
HR influenced Vivienne Westwood, Tool, and almost every punk indy metal electro act ever.

My wishlist item from TopShop is the studded marble jeans:

Unfortunately, I don’t have $160 to spend on a pair of jeans.
