Advantages: An amazing selection of clothes

Disadvantages: Can be a little expensive at times

Topshop is my all-time favourite high street clothing store. There is not a single time I go in there that I don't wish I owned almost everything I lay my eyes on.
Topshop is part of the Arcadia group (also incorporating Topman, Miss Selfridge, Burton, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis) and has a very quick turnover. The brand boasts a number of collaborations with designers and celebrities alike (the most high-profile arguably being the Kate Moss range) and has recently expanded itself to the USA.

The flagship store in Oxford Circus, London is, in my opinion, shopping heaven. There are 3 floors (or is it 4?) of amazing clothes where you can find ALL of the current Topshop ranges plus vintage and concession sections, as well as a hairdresser and sweet shop. Everytime I've visited the store it's been exceptionally busy, proving just how popular Topshop is.

My local Topshop is a little more on the smaller side, but stocks most of the current range. I especially love the dresses and tunics as they're usually quite striking and different, and there are also leggings, skirts, jeans, coats and basic items like vests and t-shirts. The Unique range is great if you're looking for something a bit different.
The mainline clothing range itself is always up to date with the latest trends and fashions, and whilst sometimes prices can seem a bit high, I for one think it's worth it as you won't find something nicer anywhere else.
One of my favourite things about Topshop is the underwear range. There are really pretty underwear sets, and there is an ongoing 3 £4 knickers for £9 offer. In the sales, you can usually pick up bras for £7 (usually around £15) and knickers for £1/2.

Topshop's sales in general are usually quite good, but you have to get there quick if you want to get the best stuff, as popular sizes are usually gone before you know it. Items are usually 25-50% off, and reductions increase as the sale continues. There are usually only end of season sales lasting a couple of weeks, but I've noticed in the current climate that sales seem to last a bit longer.

I would recommend Topshop to any girl who loves fashion.

Summary: My favourite high street store!
