Topshop Lookbook: Rough Diamond

Out with a boom!

Rawr! I love the cheetah print pants and zebra print coat. The leopard print jacket has me saying "yesssss". I may be vegetarian, but I can still appreciate good quality animal clothing. Fur coats have been in style for forever, especially on those hippies who can't seem to let it go and 80-something galmour-pusses. (I admit, I stole that word from the only comic book I read..) Anyways, this lookbook is very animalistic; even the hats have feathers! Although everything is mixed and matched from many different aspects, the main style is really well out together. Since it's very reminiscent of the 60's, make sure to wear tons of eyeliner!
You can find a similar bag to the one the girl in the top middle photo is slinging here. Like the old school cabana-style hats? Urban outfitters does them perfectly. The animal print spandex leggings or jeans can be found many places such as Forever 21, Neiman Marcus (needless markups), Bloomingdales, and of course Topshop.

Topshop Lookbook: Into the Wild

What an earthy-urban blend!

By combining soft cloths, large knits, and distressed jean fabrics, the Into The Wild look was born. The feel of the collection as a whole does tend to remind one of the film by the same name, starring the gorgeous Emile Hirsch. Most of the movie, the main character wore denim jeans and knit tops, similar to the models in the photos. Knits, like the sweater in the top middle photo and the headband in the top right photo can easily be accessible through various websites, like Modcloth. Lots of pieces in the shows recently have been holding holes in the fabric, which is starting to become popular. I may have some sweaters with holes in the armpits, some tights exposing skin and a couple jeans with rips, but those were all unintentional. The new look isn't. Find something similar by TopShop, like this sweater, with man made holes in just the right places. Beware, though! Try not to get pants that have too many fake holes, or you'll be stuck with this kind of disaster. I also absolutely love the strappy shoes in all the pictures.

Topshop Lookbook: Dark Nouveau

If only I could afford all these marvelously dark outfits to wear to work!

The pink, lace-lined corset bra in the top left photo has got me all hot! Find a similar one Topshop offers here. I absolutely love the thin, veil-like dress on the blonde girl in the bottom left. The lace suit beneath the dress on her, which can be bought for super cheap (compared to the original) at American Apparel, completes the look as well. Find alike socks, similar to the ones the woman in the bottom left photo is wearing here.

Since fall is coming and lots of jewel tones and dark shades will be back in style, the grays and light blacks are so fabulous to copy for your fall/winter outfits. Notice that this lookbook is very different from the others so far; this one has very little color and only consists of blues, blacks, whites, and grays. Also notice the plain hairdos that aren't too done up or elaborate. This look will most likely be the best for fall to cover the shoulders and accentuate the face more often, since it'll be so cold that the rest of your body will be covered in long sleeves and pants!

Get prepared now for the cold/windy/rainy/etc. season...

Topshop Lookbook: The Outsiders

Obsessed.


This specific lookbook from Topshop has peaked my interest right now. The warm, lodge-like style has got my heart pumping - It's so romantic! The plaid and fur ideas are very British "countryside" and the tights/socks pull the outfits together just so.

The burgundy skirt in the top middle photo is very similar to a skirt American Apparel sells and that I own, but I like the thin, matte color instead. Riding pants, such as the pair in the top right photo, are starting to become very popular and I might just have to find vintage pair for myself one of these days! I love the jumper in the bottom left photo, find some similar ones at alloy.com, like this one! I know capes only look good on superheros, hello SUPERMAN, and aren't meant for the mortal being of sorts, but they really have been slowly coming into style now for a couple years. They're always so perfect for relaxing or going for a walk at Tahoe in the winter, so maybe I should look into getting my own? Perhaps, maybe making one? Hmmmm I'll have to get a quality plaid fabric and some hot lining.

Topshop, I love thee
