Topshop Virgin Turned Addict


A name that keeps coming up everywhere I look is Topshop; as far as I knew, it was a London based store that was on par with Urban Outfitters and Zara. It was not until today that I got to experience Topshop for myself, and may I just say... it was three floors of absolute bliss. The first floor was enough to keep me busy for hours but when I turned to see that there were multiple levels... well, lets just say the day only got better from there. Gorgeous floral prints to hot colored blazers and the SHOES. Oh the shoes were wonderful! Essentially, you could find everything that would compliment the wardrobe you already have, and make you look exquisite for any occasion. For these prices, one could mistake the Topshop Broadway address for Canal St. I found everything I could possibly want to pack for my trip and was so happy, I didn't even bother to entertain the idea of shopping at Scoop across the street. Despite the fact I shopped in Topshop for no less than 2 1/2 hours, I completely forgot I had skipped breakfast; there was just too much fun to even contemplate something as insignificant as a meal or worry about the downpour outside. After shopping at what I now believe is heaven, I grabbed a nice bite to eat at Balthazar's and headed home. Who knew the best day consisted of traffic and a thunderstorm? Now time to play with all of my new clothes!

Modista Primera



At the request of my mother (and my brother and sister's creation of their own blogs), I have taken to a blog in order to keep her posted on my life while abroad in beautiful EspaƱa. In hopes of expanding this blog (hmm perhaps the next Garance? - As the magic eight ball might say "outlook not so good" or "very doubtful") I would like to add a bit of personal flare and make this a site a collection of my thoughts, rather than a site which solely allows my mom to check and make sure I haven't been kidnapped (although my dad would love to be Liam Neeson from "Taken" if given the chance) or am trekking the globe rather than attending class... she would be devastated if she knew I was globetrotting without her

Anyway enough about the blogs purpose; until my departure from America, this site will contain my thoughts on current trends, music, fashion and all things de moda.

Enjoy!

PS. I have a great deal of (this type of) thinking. Lo siento
