The Launch of Topshop.com USA




First, some bad news: Topshop, the popular British high street fashion chain, has delayed the opening of their New York City store until late November. Boo.

Now, the good news: Topshop.com has recently launched a dedicated US site, which means all prices will be in dollars and all measurements will be US-friendly. For a limited time, you can also bypass the ghastly $15 flat rate shipping fee and get free shipping with code USFREEPOSTAGETS01. Still not satisfied? They'll throw in a Kate Moss Charity tee free with your purchase. Plus, you can enter for your chance to win a $750 shopping spree.

All of this, at Topshop.com USA. The prices aren't cheap by any means but Topshop has cornered the cool corner of the market and you simply won't find the duds they've got anywhere else. Some good values we spotted: A pocket-cardi in purple for $30, a Burberry-esque belted funnel neck coat for $170, and these gray leather slouch boots for $145.

New York Fashion Week in a Nutshell




New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2009 is winding down, but there's still plenty of time to take in the shows and enjoy the latest crop of fashions. Your front row seat awaits at Coutorture.com, which we think has the best coverage and photos anywhere on or off the web. Browse runway photos, creative photos, and watch exclusive video content you won't find anywhere else. Just a word of warning: It's highly addictive and may inspire bouts of wistful thinking, uncontrollable lusting and excessive daydreaming (so if you've got some place to be or something to do, slowly step away from your computer...) For everyone else, enjoy!
