Topshop

I gotta love this Topshop… not only because I walk past every single day and I see what’s hot but because I absolutely love the design and it reminds me of my time in London. Topshop, American Apparel and Urban Outfitters were my staple stores when I fancied going shopping and if I didn’t find what I wanted in one of them it would be in the other… now both Topshop and American Apparel are in Lab Concept, downstairs from my office. And… Urban Outfitters is opening there too! Amazing. Of the three of them Topshop is my favorite one when I wanted something a little more fun. If I had to pick a category item I would choose their shoes. Unfortunately, as this store is smaller than the one in Central, there isn’t a specific section for shoes and accessories and I couldn’t find a couple of nice dressy shoes. They are really good quality, most of them from Spain or Italy (ankle boots mainly). However the clothes are what I expected — the usual fun, casual, elegant, eclectic, chic British style that I found in the UK, a little more simple and minimalistic (although that may be that the size of the store is smaller or because of the current collection). Nevertheless, the style still follows the same line. I’ve seen a few more dress-​up trousers and shirts. And Topman is next door; if this store could have a section for shoes only it’d just be perfect! For that I’d still have to go to Central, or wait to see what Urban Outfitters will look like!
