Breaking Fashion News: Topshop to launch U.S. site

I have to be honest I really didn’t give a damn about Topshop’s first U.S. Store opening in NYC since I don't live there and can’t afford to fly back and forth to shop. What I do care about is that on September 9th …yes that is next Tuesday Topshop is launching an U.S. version of the website which happens to coincide with Kate Moss’ new collection. So ladies no more trying to convert pounds to U.S. dollars with some online currency converter, we will finally have it all at our little American fingertips.

NYC’s store opening is delayed though nah na nah na nahhhhhhhh!

Dare to Wear: Scarlett High Platform Shoe

I have not the slightest idea why I love this shoe, but I just do. Don’t fret I have not purchased them because lets face it I would have absolutely no place to wear a black/ hot pink platformed pump. I know when you first look at the Scarlett High Platform Shoe it screams stripper shoe, but if you sit and look it starts whispering style icon, risk taker, fashonista. What’s funny is the shoe is kind of on trend since wacky superhero look has been on the rise since the Costume Institutes Superhero exhibit (May 08). For those of you bold enough to wear this shoe I commend you and wish I had half of your fashion guts.

Accessory Find of the Week: Flower Corsage

photo cred: Topshop

Yesterday's post was all about how we can’t just wear everything our favorite fictional fashionsista wears. Well today is all about how you can wear a floral brooch on your favorite top or dress. Topshop has a small selection of corsages ranging from £6.00 to £12.00 pounds. For those of us not wanting to wait for our faux flower to ship from across the pond then you can also easily slip in to any local Michaels and pick up a faux flower snip the steam get a hot glue gun and attach a brooch backing( or just safety pin it) and there you go your very own DIY “Carrie” brooch. Best yet, Topshop has a really cute one shoulder dress ( pictured) that will help you pull the look together.

Cute Collabo: Celia Birtwell for Express

photo cred: Express

Odds are the average Express shopper probably has no clue who Celia Birtwell is. For those of us who know of the British textile designer and former Topshop collaborator it’s time to be excited she has decided to cross the pond with a limited collection for Express. The line is filled with paisley, dots, and flower printed flowy dresses, and Victorian inspired blouses. I’m not really into the collections dresses, but the light airy blouses will look great with some of my highwaisted-wide legged jeans I have yet to wear. The good news is this is one of four limited collections that Birtwell is set to design for the company bad news is Express does not offer online shopping and the collection is only being sold at a limited number of stores , so stock up!
