Topshop...

So the Topshop frenzy has official entered Soho. I lived in London for 4 months, so I definitely have a fondess for Topshop... Was excited initially when I heard Topshop was coming to NY, but not so much anymore. First of all, Topshop does not feature some of the brands they sell in London. For example, they do not sell Lipsy in New York as most of the things I buy from Topshop are the featured brands they sell. The regular Topshop stuff is very H&M level, and I might as well buy from H&M.

My biggest issue with the Topshop in Soho is that the exchange rate they are using is a $2 for 1GBP. The current exchange rate for Dollars to pound is $1.45 to 1GBP. That means everything is close to 40% more expensive buying it here than in London! So therefore, Topshop, I will not be worshiping you like all the other girls going crazy who camped outside for the grand opening.
