Making the Moss out of it

The last time I really took time to explore Topshop/Topman was during Xtine's Manila visit last February. While waiting for Princess Shash, Little Fiesta and Kuya Ers, we went to the Greenbelt 3 branch of Topshop and did some serious retail therapy. But after that - strange as it may seem - I haven't been shopping there again.

This August, the UK high street brand is having their "End of Season Sale." Seeing it as a perfect opportunity and excuse to go, I finally set foot inside their store.

After a 15 minute walk around Topman, nothing caught my eye. Maybe I outgrew the "Topman style." Nothing appealed or called to me. This is unlike Zara and H&M where something always "calls to me" whenever I visit. Anyway, after my short trip, it was off to the next door neighbor, Topshop. It was a very wise decision because they had more - much more - covet worthy items. Most of them are from her.



Hands down, this is my favorite sub-brand of Topshop. I've always liked Kate Moss' laid back and "I-didn't-give-much-thought-to-this-get-up" style. And unlike other celebrities who have their own fashion lines, Kate designs clothes that reflect her personality and stuff that she'd actually wear. Like these:



There were so, so many fabulous finds, and the sale price made it even more covet worthy. There was a silk and tulle tunic (or dress if you dig the micro-mini look), an asymmetric tunic (or dress) with a zigzag pattern, a charmeuse silk dress, and my favorite, the beaded t-shirt.

Gosh! The workmanship behind this shirt is amazing. But not as amazing as the price I paid for it.



So many finds from just one store. Now I'm tempted to scour every branch that carries the Kate Moss line and make the most of this sale.
