uk fashion has stolen my heart

I love everything about London fashion. It's so much more... deconstructed than over here. Much more original. And they get Victoria and David Beckham! What do we have? Nicole and Paris? And in the U.S., not even Canada.

Anyway, I've always been hearing about TopShop. I finally got around to looking at their website, and fell in love. While they're really not that cheap (especially with the exchange), the tops and necklaces are just so cute! I was able to get a bunch of necklaces and a pretty shirt. This was my favourite of the bunch:


Next on my list was Asos. From the look of the site, Asos is all about mimicking celebrity fashion. Their jewellry and site layout was not quite as nice as TopShop, but their tops! I fell in love with this one, in black:


Lucky me was able to get the last one in my size! Along with a few other items.



We have nothing like this in Canada. I guess Costa Blanca is somewhat similar, but the quality is so cheap, even for the prices you pay. You can't purchase their clothing online, and their store are usually difficult to maneuver through because of the layout. They could also be compared to Aritzia. But Aritzia's house brands are ridiculously overpriced for what they are and they focus on name brand rather than clothing that is actually of-the-moment.



I guess I'll just have to wait until I get my fabulous job in Europe to enjoy more of this!
