back on top

 

I felt the sting of Topshop's demise all over again when I was in London last week, missing what felt like bank robbery raids on its Oxford Circus flagship. But now that I'm back stateside, I just discovered a loot of new Topshop dresses at Nordstrom that remind me why I was once such a hard-core devotee. The cut-out flowy dress, above, is the essence of effortless summer style (there's also a floral print version). Same goes for the black and white maxi and lace long-sleeved lovely, below, which I'd wear without the slip and over a suit!
