TOPSHOP : My favourite High Street Brand!

 

It's no secret why Topshop is ahead of its fashion game when it comes to pleasing their customers.

Last Saturday, I was invited to attend an exclusive English Breakfast event at Knightsbridge and got to

know more about their 4 main trends for SS/11 and I gotta say that they have outdone themselves once again!

I have the baseball jacket in red!

One of the reasons why topshop remains my favourite highstreet go-to is because of their personal shopper service. It is highly customised to tailor to each individual's needs and I was so excited when I found out about this that I went ahead to book one for myself as an after-exam treat! 

Will let you guys in about it in detail when the time permits. This has been one of my most exciting daytime events to date so I really cant wait to fill you in! :) Thanks once again Topshop for the invite :)

Couple of items I got that day!

 

Orange Buckle Side Paperbag Waist Skirt - This would look so yummy in knee high socks and oxfords!

This peach asymmetrical top!

Beaten Metal Torq

 

A floral headband I wore to school today from their FREEDOM line! :) 

Also, I love the style scout initiative because it just reinforces the point that fashion is not just about going to the store and getting your outfits based solely on what is trendy, it is a whole experience in itself and I love that Topshop is trying to advocate their brand as a lifestyle with the style scout blog and the personal shopper service. Props to them!

P.S photo credits to quickrantsofsherley! Couldnt take good pictures of the style talk because I was busy shopping/nomming at the back ;)

Happy St Patrick's day everyone!(okay technically it was last night haha)

I have many things to update you guys about. Was invited to the official opening of Brooks Brothers

at knightsbridge yesterday. Will be heading for a good friend's 21st at hard rock cafe tomorrow and will be performing there as well! Exciting stuff. 

I won the CATALOG Magazine wonderwoman makeup mini contest so I will be meeting makeup extraordinnaire, Beno Lim who's worked on the likes of GAGA and Fergie, so that will make for awesome blogging material!

I will also be attending Topshop's english breakfast event next week so stay tuned boys and girls.

Quite a number of events and parties to attend, but that is not to say I will let my academic work slip!

Received my graded summary sheet for my POSC mod and I got highest in class! I am one happy energiser bunny.

 The exams are drawing near and I have to get started on my 2.5k word essay so this is just a short post to tell you guys that I am keeping well! XX 

Next entry will be for the boys, and here's a sneak preview:

 

Just one ensemble of the spring summer wardrobe for Brooks Brothers. Yep there were models in store last night! If I were to draw comparisons I'd liken them to the more grown up and genteel cousin of Fred Perry perhaps?

Running from tomorrow with our lips locked.

Received my first and only midterm result today. I seriously thought I was gonna do really badly but I got 11/15 for it, 12 being the highest in his classes. Im satisfied but there's nothing much to be complacent about, seeing that everyone's marks were so close.
In other news, I just got myself a twitter account !follow me to receive real time updates!

Over the past week, I purchased 2 articles of clothing, this divine topshop white boyfriend blazer, and a simple denim tube dress from herssincerely

I'm posting this picture because I have  a similar off white scallop trimmed top and I have the pink

paperbag shorts as well so i'm definitely gonna try out this look in the near future! Will post pictures when I do hehe 

 There's actually a story behind this dress. Basically when I saw it on the website, I fell in love because the cutting of the dress looked impeccable and I went trigger happy upon seeing it and when I placed an order, I actually indicated I wanted a different dress from the denim dress that I actually wanted and transferred the money because I couldnt wait to get my hands on it.

 Don't ask me how but the ladyboss, Esther was really intuitive and somehow sensed that I wanted to get the denim dress instead of the one that I indicated wrongly and took the trouble of attaching the picture of the dress that I mistakenly indicated in an email and got me to double confirm whether I paid for the correct dress or not. That was when I realised my mistake. She readily offered to refund me the difference in price between the denim dress and the dress I mistakenly ordered which was more expensive. 

After this whole spate of affairs, I decided to change my mind and opt for registered mail instead of normal mail to make sure that the dress landed on my hands safely. But the only problem was, in that case, I had to transfer esther another 20 cents. Esther gladly offered to waive the 20 cents to spare me the trouble of transferring the money again. Although it is a small gesture, I will remember it because these days, its so hard to find such personalised and attentive service in brick and mortar shops, much less online blogshops!

I received my dress 2 days later and was very pleased with the quality of the denim! :)

Affordable clothing, prompt, attentive and sincere customer service. Hers Sincerely truly lives up to its name!

Here's a dress from their latest collection that caught my eye:

 Its a dusty pink toga with an asymmetrical hem! Reminds me of a piece from topshop that is retailing for wayyyy more. Its sold out on the website already. I'm hoping they will open a backorder for it soon!

Because online shopping is always fastest fingers first, to make sure you never miss out on another awesome dress, be sure to sign up for their mailing list for exclusive previews!
