Finally the invasion has arrived with the long awaited opening of Topshop in New York City's very own SoHo. As soon as word spread about who would be doing the honors of cutting the ribbon-- need I say? Moss, in all of her glory-- people were more than eager to line up from 7 in the morning until the official opening of the store's doors at 11. Initially I planned on appearing at the Broadway and Broome location earlier on so I could catch a glimpse of gorgeous Kate, or even be within her proximity, but my roommate and I decided it would somehow be a good idea to stay up until 4am. I was lucky enough to have even been able to wake up and be there by a half hour after its opening. Oh god, if you could have only seen the line. Literally it was so disorienting that I couldn't figure out where it began and where it ended. Thank god for being chosen as a college ambassador for Topshop's campaign.. basically being that I send them e-mails about street trends, cause hype, and get free things in reward. I was able to count on Jane from JellyNYC to escort me into the building without the hassle of the line. Once inside, it was total chaos and amazement. In the most cheesiest of fashions, I remembered the greatest perk of being a girl. Shopping. It was one of those moments of a natural and unexplainable (possibly unhealthy) high. I stalled around and bought a few things and waited until my friend Emily arrived, who didn't have Jane's number so I had to leave the store to go get her. We reunited, called Jane, and were led to a back entrance to the store where the line was ending (by this time of the day it was around 2pm and the line wasn't so horrible but still barely tolerable) and received many questionable and presumably not-so-nice looks. Two hours later, and a few minutes before the Misshapes appeared to DJ, we left and picked up lunch composed of waaay too many calories to even recount. My morning began disheveled, blurred towards ecstatic, and began crashing towards the realization that a nap was in order and no one should ever consume that amount of food.
Oh, I forgot to mention the cherry on top of it all. The opening of Topshop New York was perfected with the launch of Kate Moss' S/S 2009 line. Absolutely desirable!
To those wondering, yes, that picture above does say:
"Garments are limited to five per customer."

Howabout some completely dance-worthy music? You'll maybe want to download these before a night out or for that hour long subway ride to Coney Island.
Really.
