TopShop Here I Come!

TopShop is here honey! TopShop is here! And I am so elated that it has landed in America, more importantly...NYC. Again, I know we are in a recession, but the one thing I love about Topshop is that it has cheap, yet chic clothes. I am all for that. Pieces from Kate Moss's Sprinng '09 line will be debuted there as well. Just in time for Spring shopping...how delicious!

The NY flagship store opened Thursday in SOHO (478 Broadway and Broome), they had this fabulous preview for all the A-listers the night before (clearly my invite was lost, but hey...fire the PR girl), and it opened for the public yesterday. I won't be making my trip until Saturday and I'm already plotting on purchasing at least one fabulous piece. So excited!

I did a litle research and here are some of the perks for shopping at the NYC location this week:

• You can try out the Style Advisor service in the Style Lounge. Topshop will have in-house style experts help you select the perfect pieces for you body and style while you relax sipping on champagne. They’ll be there all the week and will be taking bookings for future appointments. Ok, made up the last part about the champagne, but wouldn't that be fab?! You actually get complimentary scones and jam. Yum. But seriously, who wouldn't want that?!

• Purchases in-store over $100 will come with a free, limited edition Cool Britannia t-shirt while supplies last. So, I guess I can disregard that one, because clearly there won't be any left. These NY fashionistas are beasts when it comes to this store, they have been gagging for the last couple of months over the arrival of the store.

• The final 'perk' is the instore pampering sessions being offered. Shoppers can sign up for makeovers and manicures while perusing (and by perusing, I mean streetfighting...because it's going to be a jungle in there) and enjoying the beats of the DJ who will be spinning all week. Let's hope they don't play The Dream's Rocking That Thang, because I may end up doing a show.

For the fashionistas who aren't in NYC, you can still reap the benefits of Topshops arrival by receiving free shipping on ALL online purchases! Interested? Check it out TopShopNYC, shipping is normally $15, so you have until April 9th. I will report back on Saturday about the store and all it's glory. Hey...I may even pick up one of Kate Moss's pieces from her collection IF they are friendly to my wallet. We shall see. Here's a couple pieces from her collection.

Am I the only one excited? I'll report back with photos, foolishness, purchases and all that my first instore TopShop experience presents!
