Giant Top Shop Post

So I semi-recently "discovered" Top Shop and it has the best stuff ever. Although the pounds thing is kind of tricky. What with everything being as it is I'm sure the American dollar isn't so hot so shoes for 35 pounds is probably more than $35 but that doesn't stop any of the items being so awesome.
These are the shoes I've been lusting after for the past few days. I admire the brogue fashion but don't really have anything in my wardrobe that would combine well with them. These so called casual brogues look just right for frolicking about in the summer. They seem to me like Keds but more sophisticated (although I do still really want a pair of Keds). They look versatile and comfortable and that's just the thing I need more of because I can't wear my Vans for ever.
These are just nifty gladiator sandals. I like the extra protection (?) on the top of the foot. Looks almost good for running around and doing gladiator stuff in.
Oddly enough, ever since real jacket season was over (winter) I've been scouring stores for a good trench coat. I never got an honest trench but I did find a smart little jacket at H&M. Even though I now have this cute jacket, I still reason with myself that I don't actually have that many jackets. Not even real overcoat jackets just jackets for layering on a cool summer evening. Top Shop has plenty.




The first jacket is pretty simple. Navy color with shiny buttons. The other one is bad ass but I don't know if I could pull it off. The next jacket I guess is more of a blazer. I just finished reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and it reminded me of the movie which reminded me of the schoolboy fashion of Peter and Edmund Pevensie. This is totally what I'd wear if I had to go to a fancy anything. Most likely something to do with boats because there's an anchor on the pocket and that's a lot of nautical. The last two look like something I'd wear if I worked at my favorite candy shop in Chatham. Except I think the only uniforms they have are aprons. Anyway the stripes are darling. As are the puff sleeves.

I love the top pair of shoes. I recently bought a silver pair just like those, but I realized my feet are too big for the style!
