We Try On All The Best Stuff In Topshop For Fashion Week (And General Life) So You Don't Have To

Imagine getting ready for fashion week - a walk in wardrobe full of gorgeous shit, with vases of white roses and a solid gold shoe rail. Well, my life is sort of like that, except that the walk in wardrobe is actually a room in a shared house and there are no flowers, only tiny cacti and one failing succulent, and I haven't bought a full length mirror yet so I'm actually just guessing.

Thank god for Topshop.

The navy on navy

Meet power Charlie. She is a grown up and never spills coffee on herself and her nails are always painted with NO CHIPS.

Gold shoes, £69; Trousers, £40; Poloneck, £25

The namesake

London folks, get ye'selves into the Oxford Circus store, where magic elves (actually just people) will customise your new toppers garb for you. They made me this Charlie version of the Karlie Kloss jacket, and I'm pretty fucking chuffed about it. Our names even look quite similar on a jacket, though sadly that's where the similarities end.

The really great jeans

Disclaimer: I actually own this outfit. And I wear these amazing embroidered jeans and this red top together just like this, so this is legit realism right here. I don't own these white shoes, but I have the same ones in gold.

Top, £22; Shoes, £59

The Ma1 jacket

If I wasn't so much taller than Tom cruise (I'm 5'6") then I'd feel like Top Gun in this bomber.

Bomber jacket, £55; Jeans, £40

The parka

It's really good, this. I love a bit of camo, and this floral dress made for a good tonal match/print clash situation. I had to crop it though as I didn't have any tights with me and my legs looked hell'a pasty.

Parka, £120

The jumpsuit

I felt mega professional in this, and maybe like I should hand out some business cards then and there. But I didn't.
