So, one of my friends from college told me about Topshop a long time ago and I've been obsessed since. It's kind of like H&M... but 100x better. And this was long before they planted their first-ever US concept store in the US (NYC to be exact), and way before they started shipping online purchases across the pond. The only way my friend and I ever got anything from Topshop back then was through someone she knew who lived in the UK who's address she would use to send her purchases to, and then they would send it to us from them (the process was v. time-consuming and I'm not v. patient esp. when waiting for online purchases). Thank goodness for the crossover!
If you would like an alternative to XXI's low quality pieces and H&M's mundane style, but with a price that won't empty your pockets, I highly suggest either a) Make Topshop.com one of your must-see-and-buy sites (forget Nordies; it's so 2005), or b) Fly into NYC and go nuts at the store! But if you're still undecided and need a little more motivation, just enjoy the new looks for now and you can thank me later :)
