Finally Topshop is coming to the states. In Fall 2008, all that cute UK clothes readily available to us Americans. Actually, it’s only readily available for New Yorkers. Topshop will open their flagship store in SOHO, New York. No one can argue that Topshop has some seriously cute UK sty-lo. I especially love their jackets! Military, princess sleeves, trench, so many styles so little money. Don’t get me started on how much I adore UK fashion. 

And as an added bonus, Kate Moss has launched her own line and decided to bless us with a free Starlight charity shirt. It’s FREE for the first couple of US customers (while supplies last). Unfortunately I’m not in the area, but New York fashionistas please help yourself.

So please, please do me a favor and check out Topshop in New York. I can’t wait to check it out myself when I visit in November.  They even have a section for petites! Yey for little people who need little clothes.

Happy Shopping fashionistas!

Lets face it, unless one knows exactly what one is shopping for online, one can get lost wasting hours of their life searching aimlessly. One of the reasons why we all love Google is because Google helps up filter through the online mess and narrows into exactly what we’re looking for. Well that’s what Polyvore does but for clothing. Polyvore is an online website that allows users to create a wardrobe of online outfits. All you have to do is sign up (free membership of course), and start piecing your killer outfit together. Polyvore allows users to create, modify, and save their masterpiece to each user’s account. But what makes Polyvore different for all those other shopping search engines is that Polyvore advocates users to publish their collage or “set” and other members of the community has to ability to view and comment.

Just a little something I put together-

What I love:

• from high end to low end, polyvore has an awesome selection of brands and shops
• has the ability to search by brand or by product type
• great place to browse for new products you wouldn’t have found if you stuck to a single brand’s website.
• i love the ability to create my own outfit and publish it to the community.

What I could live without:

• after selecting an item from the product tray, there isn’t a “close box” option in the popup.
• has the tendency to show duplicate items even from the same store, i like my search results to be clean.
• there is something off with the site’s cache. I was playing with my canvas and i navigated to the blog section, navigated back and for some reason it has my old, old set. Good thing I’m big on saving.
• can’t move the divs. it completely annoys me when I can’t move divs. What if I want to have a better look at what’s in the background?

Honestly aside from a couple of functionality issues, Polyvore is a great site to browse and create some fabulous outfits. Whether you’re browsing or purchasing, Polyvore is a great resource to piece together the perfect outfit. And don’t worry guys, Polyvore has mens clothing as well.
