I’m back from my trip home to the Garden State and am already missing the east coast. I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday and going to my friend’s wedding in Maryland. And despite the downpour of rain, I made it to Topshop in NYC!
When I first walked into Topshop, I was slightly overwhelmed, but in a good way. To see things up-close that you’ve admired online for so long was great! I spent a good hour in the three-level store and was glad to see that they keep the floor pretty well stocked in all available sizes. Although I took an armful of clothes into the fitting room, I only ended up buying a denim dress (pictured below). Nonetheless, I was excited to see the zero sales tax on my NYC receipt. Screw you 9.25% sales tax in Los Angeles!
Topshop dress. Vintage boots
My fraternal twin, Melly, and I celebrated our birthdays in Atlantic City. I’m wearing my Nasty Gal vintage 80’s dress with the Jeffrey Campbell Mel shoes, and Melly’s wearing a Topshop dress. I didn’t get any full-length shots with my shoes, but when we were in the club, a bouncer came up to me (who I thought was going to tell me to stand away from the roped off section), and let me know that at least six people had been admiring my shoes. HA!
The real reason I went back east was to go to my friend’s wedding in Maryland. Doesn’t she look gorgeous?! Love her dress, esp. the strapless outline at top. I wore my Topshop dress, UO necklace and Jeffrey Campbell Mel shoes.
Thanks for all the sweet birthday wishes in my last post! I promise to get back to everyone’s comments and look forward to catching up on all your blogs!

Ooh, loving all your dresses and it looks like you girls had a fabulous time celebrating your birthdays! I can totally relate to the Topshop thing.
