My Top Shop

After getting bargain deals shopping at Top Shop yesterday, I'm still having mixed feelings about the British import. All my female friends who went there were not impressed with the women's selection and the price of the clothes, but the same cannot be said about the guys' department. Some things were as cheap as they are in Walmart. I bought a pair of jeans and 2 new t-shirts for $10 each. That's kinda insane considering Top Shop is located in SoHo. You'd think I'd fall head over heels for this place but the main turnoff? This sign saying how they have fashion consultants (or 'Style Advisors') on premise to tell you what not to buy. I overheard an employee telling a guy "to put those flare jeans back because he doesn't have the package to fill out the front." No joke.

My Christmas List 2008

Yes. It's true. I need to make a list. I've been told numerous times I'm one of the most difficult people to shop for. So to avoid headaches, I've complied this list of gifts under $30 bucks.

- Mad Men Season One On DVD, because I am still in love with Peggy Olsen.

- Ikea Ribba Poster Frame (27.5' x 39.5'), it's for the... 

- 'Julius Caesar' (1953) Movie Poster, so it can match the other Brando madness in my room.

- Magazine Frame (8.5' x 10'), because I'm getting a magazine I want to frame.

- Green Woolie Flap Beanie Hat, because skating in Bryant Park made me want one.

- Playbill Yearbook 2007-2008 Edition, because I don't get one for free anymore.

- Whitest Kids U Know Comedy Sketch Tickets, because their humor is up my alley.

- Crocodile Dentist Game, I had one when I was a kid and always wondered where it disappeared to.

- Skinny Black Tie, because every guy this century should have one.

Not too shabby.

My Shopping Excursion

This is the line I encountered at the supermarket last week.

My Camper Wabi

As strange as this might sound, the only thing I truly obsessed over getting while I was in Europe was a pair of sandals. Yes, it's true.... sure I wanted to go up the leaning tower of Pisa, ride the canals of Venice and walk the steps of Cannes... but when I laid my eyes on this pair of Camper Wabi on the side street from Plaza de Sol in Madrid, my search for the right color and size began.

Yes, it's a little silly and stereotypical but a man has to have his flip-flops. Can I wait until my birthday? Hmm.... maybe ::cough::white,size40::cough::.
