There is a God!!!

The last couple of days I've been working from our ad agency's office in the heart of London rather than in the burbs' where our offices are located. Our ad agency is what most of you would imagine an ad agency to look like. The office is extremely modern with very cool furniture, an open layout with flatscreen after flatscreen, the inside is all glass walls so you can stand in the lobby and see all three floors. They even have a free coffee bar inside. I'll have to take some pictures, I'm not doing it justice.

Today, we finished up early and I had some time to kill in order to wait out traffic on the tube. Because the offices are in the heart of London it happens to be on the most famous shopping street in London- Oxford Circus. I figured shopping would be a good way to kill time :) I'm not sure how many of you have heard of a store called TopShop, I hadn't until I came here. It's similar to H&M. Everyone kept telling me I had to go the TopShop on Oxford St. I didn't understand what all the fuss was about. NOW I DO! This place is my mecca. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before. I spent four hours in there tonight and I barely scratched the surface. This is there flagship store so it's got everything. When I say everything I don't mean accessories, shoes, and clothes, that's childs play. I mean a nail bar, a place to get a blow out, a candy shop, a grooming salon, a concierge, and a restaurant. I was amazed, this place was a one stop shop! You could get your nail dones, get your hair done and find a fabalous outfit all in one place. Whoever designed this store is a genius! It's every girls fantasy, including mine. Don't even get me started on the clothes. Four levels of the most fashionable coats, dresses, pants, shirts, shoes I've ever seen. It took all the will power I had to not max out out my credit card in this place. I walked away with only a scarf (cause it's getting colder each day) and a pair of tights. But give me two months and I'll be the poster child for this store. Bye Bye Banana hello TopShop!
