As I anxiously await the arrival of Las Vegas’ very own TOPSHOP/TOPMAN flagship store, I am simply enchanted with the retailer’s line of affordable cosmetics, which range in price from $3-$20. Offering everything you need to complete your trendsetting look, from blush to nail polish to gel eyeliner, you would be missing out if you didn’t get TOPSHOP Make Up a try.

I am particularly smitten with TOPSHOP’s Kohl eyeliner, which is intense in color, applies smoothly, and never cakes or flakes. Additionally, I adore the cream blush, which I also use as a lip stain. When I can find more than one use for a product, I’m hooked. Want to find our how some of the other products tested out, plus detail surrounding the Las Vegas store opening? Head to LollieShopping.com for the rest!

Digital print fashion is super hot for spring and summer and Greek-born print designer Mary Katrantzou has designed a 10-piece collection for TOPSHOP that focuses on the designer’s trademark vibrant prints and elements of structure. Click here to find our more deets at LollieShopping.com!

What makes a great jacket? I found myself really asking this after we experienced a blustery blast of cold weather mixed in with some early fall flurries.

Runway presentations make the most of women’s outerwear in all colors from neutral to bright with fantastic detailing or subtle minimalism. However, when it comes down to it, a jacket needs to be functional. Maybe you demand a hood, large pockets, or a full-length zipper. Regardless of such basics, I am not willing to sacrifice style, and I doubt our readers are either.

This is why I’ve compiled my favorite “Runway to Real Way Jackets.” While extremely trendy, these jackets are still practical. There’s nothing unrealistic about incorporating any one of these into your wardrobe.

1. The Bright Jacket

Brighter shades have been popping up everywhere recently. Despite the opposing forces, bright hues work well for a fall/winter trench coat. Tip: Ground the rest of your outfit in black or other neutrals.

2. The Fur Bomber

Fur bombers are classic and luxe simultaneously. Again, fur took over the runways, seen everywhere from Alexander Wang to Rachel Zoe. You’ll be sure to turn heads in a glossy piece like this, but if you’re trying to be more subtle, try a faux-fur collar for starters.

[NastyGal Darcy Drape Jacket $78, Burberry Prorsum Image via Style.com]

3. The Camel Coat

Has this look ever done us wrong? I love both belted ones accentuating the waist, but I especially adore the robe-like vibe of NastyGal’s drape jacket (pictured above). Normally a structured trench, camel will always be timeless, regardless of what form it takes. It’s a celebrity must, a runway favorite, and an every day woman’s go-to. Tip: Pick the shade that best works with your skin tone.

4. The Tweed

Chanel has always done tweed right. Now, it’s our turn to channel Karl Lagerfeld’s feminine vision and prove tweed is anything but stuffy. Topshop’s blue version of the fabrication is fun and funky, but boxy jackets like these are all about playing with proportion. Wear it open with jeans or alone with a skirt; just remember to keep everything sleek.

5. The Fur Vest

It’s still crazy cool, and I couldn’t be happier! I wasn’t ready to give up my fur vest just yet. Part edgy, part glam, this piece is all about attitude. Brown, black, white, grey, beige, it won’t be hard to find a vest you’ll love. Tip: Fur vests can add bulk if done incorrectly. Be aware of proper fit, watching for armhole size.

[Land's End Women's Essential Down Jacket $69.65, DKNY Image via Style.com]

6. The Puffer

Perhaps the most basic, but also the warmest, a puffy jacket is a winter must-have. DKNY reminds us that style and functionality can easily coexist. I LOVE the bright cherry red and quilted looks, (and especially love anything down-filled). This look will keep you warm and safe; no need to fear the elements in this one!

All that’s left to do is to pick your favorite, and  stay warm!

When it comes to my wardrobe, I’m all about functionalism. I want each of my pieces to work in multiple outfits so I get the most bang for my buck! That being said, I do know how hard it is to come up with new outfits, especially when you’re juggling school, your friends, your significant other and the entire world on your shoulders. So let me ease your load a bit. Every week, I’m going to pick a new item and show you how versatile it can really be, taking you from a day on the quad to a night on the town. Let the shopping begin!

The other day I was browsing the Topshop website and came across a dainty little number with so much potential. The Orange Cutaway Halter Dress (yeah, real original name, Topshop), is, like you guessed, an orange, halter-style dress made of flowy chiffon. Besides the knockout color, this dress also features a stunning cutout in the chest area, giving it a sexy ’70s feel and a very thin break in the fabric on the back, which will be evident when you’re moving around. Bottom line: The dress is hot, but leaves something to the imagination!

Beginning  May 2011, Topshop is debuting its first collaboration with New York based jewelry designer Pamela Love.  The affordable and enviable jewelry collection (priced at $35-$100) combines inspiration from South America and Native America while keeping the Topshop girl in mind.  Pamela Love for Topshop has a youthful feel that uses delicate designs carved onto strong metals.  The range includes, Dreamcatcher, Hearts & Arrows, Frozen Links, and Chain & Stud collections.

The Dreamcatcher combines Love’s interest in magic and folklore to create a matching necklace, earrings, and bracelet.  The Hearts & Arrows collection offers a mix of femininity and edge to the baroque-inspired pendant, earring, cuff, and ring.  Frozen Links has a utilitarian feel and features a single cuff, multi-cuff, link chain, and earrings.  The Chain & Stud collection includes a necklace, bracelet, and ring with a definitive Aztec influence.  The collaboration, being both fashion-forward and certainly unique, is bound to be a success for both Topshop and the CFDA 2011 nominee Pamela Love.  Shop online and in-stores starting May 19th!

I accidentally was viewing the U.K. version of the Topshop site the other day, and stumbled upon the TopShop Beauty Video Tutorials. I was immediately taken with the cool vibe and simple how-to nature of the videos. TopShop only recently launched a makeup line, so  there aren’t that many videos yet, however I hope to see more looks from makeup artist Hannah Murray soon. My two favorites are “Midnight Eye” and “Glitter Cascade” — how about you?  The Virtual Makeover is also a fun little tool to upload your pic and see how glam you can get!

If the knitwear, fuzzy fur, and animal prints aren’t enough of a hint, a runway enveloped with fall leaves and adorned with tree branches, along with head ornaments along the lines of antlers, should be screaming Unique‘s vision to you: amidst the wilderness emerges a female hunter, raised amongst the deer, befriended by the wolves. Well, perhaps that was the work of my imagination, but this timely fall collection is indeed somewhat a call to the wild, with knits, bulky jackets, long sweaters, fur-trimmed leather jackets and white shirts printed with pictures of foxes and such. But Unique’s isn’t just a woman of the wild; she is also a hunter, it seems, or a scout, a soldier. Also present this season were military suits, badges and blazers. She isn’t entirely masculine or feral either – returning to her femininity as she throws on sheer dresses beneath her long jackets and fur. It will be interesting to see how the fans translate such savageness into high street-appropriate chic come this next winter.
