sounds like summer



this is mandy moore's new song, "i could break your heart any day of the week."
it's cute, bouncy, and getting me excited for summer!
i'll post the music video when it lands on youtube...but it's kind of weird. and oddly violent.

i'll show you who's boss kate moss

i know it's old news by now, but i went to the topshop opening on april 2nd. i didn't have a busy afternoon, so i was one of the crazies who braved the 2 hour line to get inside the store.

was it crowded?
uh-huh.
was there line cutting drama?
totally.
was it completely, 100% worth it?
you betcha.

while topshop trades mostly in the ubertrendy, i found a couple of classic pieces -- chanel-esque black flats, a white button-back tee -- and i really love them! the ostrich feather skirt was a whim... i'm still trying to figure out how best to wear it. i just love the way it moves!

a word to the wise, if you haven't been, don't expect the following two things:
1) low prices : topshop is pretty affordable - but it's not forever 21. the kate moss collection is especially pricy. but it's definitely a higher quality product than 21 or h&m, so i feel like you get what you pay for, most of the time.
2) fewer crowds: i went almost a week later with my boyfriend's little sister and it was still really busy. there isn't a line anymore, but i have a feeling it will be a while before the buzz calms down.
