As I was putting together my pieces with memories post I realised just how much of a Topshop whore I actually am. Pardon the language but there is just no other word for it. I am that girl –for those of you who work in a clothes shop- who you all see and turn to your colleague with a mere ‘look who it is’ stare; ‘coming to spend all her flash cash again?’ Well no actually, I’m coming to spend some borrowed flash cash –the best kind. Only recently, since little Jennifer June has begun to grow up – I am referring to me here- have I realised how small and naive Newcastle actually is. I love this place, it’s my home and always will be, but I feel so small town sometimes. I’m ready for bigger things, or bigger shops even; and more of them. I’m done with my daily trips to Toppas and getting excited over the small Urban Outfitters opening; I’m ready to discover the best vintage scenes in the UK, I’m ready to delve into unknown territory, I’m ready to purchase some American Apparel from an actual store. In the mean time however, here are some of my favorite pieces from the Topshop SS12 Collection, Surf Luxe.
Let’s be honest, I’m living in Newcastle for at least another 6 month and can anyone really complain about having these clothes available on their doorstep?
