LONGER LENGTHS

When we saw one of the girls from the buying floor walk past in this sheer floor length dress, we had to stop her and take a snap! You see, here at Topshop HQ, we've all fallen in love with longer lengths and adore how this flared sleeved number has been styled up. Teamed with chunky suede boots and a tan belt - to add some definition at the waist and to keep the hem from touching the floor - it works perfectly for winter. Follow suit and add a statement ring and a beaded necklace for a dose of hippy chic, and as the lovely girl wearing this told us, just throw on an oversized cardi in an earthy tone if you're feeling the chill.

WINTER WARMERS FROM LITTLE FILLE

Seeing as it suddenly got freezing in the UK, and because we can't resist any opportunity to dress up, we've been down to our Oxford Circus flagship to try out all the winter headgear from Little Fille.

We pretty much fell in love with all of it. Feast your eyes on pom-pom earmuffs and chain detailing, outsized velvet bows and delicate satin roses. We adore the fact that you can wear them in so many different ways and think they’re the perfect little way to give your AW10 wardrobe a whole heap of big personality!

CRAFTY CHRISTMAS

Hands up if you love a bit of Christmas arts and crafts! We certainly do, and that’s why we’ve teamed up with DIY whiz kid Kila Carr-Ince for some instore festive fun. Just look how cute the final results are! Get creative and customise your tights, make your own Christmas crackers and style up your party accessories. There’ll be candy canes, spiced toffee apples and mince pies to munch on - all for a charitable donation to Age UK in the UK and Housing Works in the US.

Pop on down to the following stores and join in the fun!

London Oxford Circus, Glasgow, Belfast, Edinburgh, Birmingham: 9th - 11th December

New York Broadway & Broome: 9th - 11th December

SCRUMPTIOUS CHRISTMAS RECIPES

To help you get in the spirit of things, this Christmas, we’ve asked the girls at Topshop HQ, as well as our favourite designers to share their holiday perfect recipes! So put on your apron, have your mixing bowl at the ready and get set to be inspired.

 

Part of the fun is making something you’ve never tried before (or in this case, something you’ve never even heard of)! So whether you try your hand at Swedish Anna’s Lussekatt or Meadham & Kirchhoff’s Beef Wellington, be sure to let us know how it goes.

ONLINE, ON-TREND!

We’ve totally fallen in love with this laser cut suede jacket. It’s from the first ever Topshop.com Exclusives collection, so no wonder one of our Topshop Tweeters snapped it up straight away! Intricate cut-out patterns like these are set to be a huge trend and we can’t wait to be first off the mark with this amazing piece. If you’re set on pipping the fashion pack to the post then you’d better hurry - once this super-limited jacket sells out it won’t be coming back. Who’ll get the last one? We’ll race you!
