TOPSHOP

So yesterday, I went to the Topshop pop-up preview at Queen St. W and Soho St.
Was pretty tired today, so didn't take much pictures, but here's what I managed + bought/got (:

We got there around 11:45(?), and the line was already pretty long. They let people enter in batches (VIP got to go in first ofcourse), and we were finally able to get in at around maybe 12:30.

The clothing were all very summer-like, with light tops, bright colours, and bold prints. A few accessories (really cute fedora hats!), and cute belts! Some of the pieces are EXCLUSIVE (ie. lace cape, cream lace flippy dress etc. more can be found on their FB group, which will be linked at the bottom) The set-up was super cute, with beach chairs, frozen yoghurt, and 2 DJ's spinning up some nice tracks (:


They gave out 2 different bags, I got this one:


But they also gave out another one that my friend noticed on some other guy while we were walking around Eatons (super jelly, cause i think the one he had was so much better than mine!)

Anyways, this is what I ended up getting (I liked it.. but I almost had to "force" myself to buy it since I waited in line for so long):

This also comes in an off-white colour. I got mine in a size 4, so it's a bit bigger? This was $30 + tax. This is the fit on me (please excuse lighting !) :

I didn't try it on before I bought it, cause I don't like trying on clothes and lineup was so long 0_0, luckily it fit pretty well. I'm usually around a size 2, but I like to wear looser fit clothes, so size 4 is good for me too. As you can see from the picture, the top fits alright on me, although the part near my armpit area is sorta flared out? So it doesn't fit properly there.

I would say, this was an interesting visit! The set-up was cute, the free froyo was yummy! And it was fun (: Although, the clothes didn't stand out to me as I thought it would. Overall, the visit was not disappointing, but if you can't make it to this preview, don't fret! Topshop will also be previewing at Muskoka from July 30th -Aug 1st.

  1. This is really interesting story. I'll be sure to visit next time I'm near by. Btw I'm a size four, but I tell everyone that I'm size two too. (:
