Finally- TopShop is Coming to America
The high-street Brit retailer TopShop is finally coming to NY in the Soho district. (TopShop’s US online store became available last year). TopShop is often compared to H&M, Zara, & Forever 21, the U.S. pricing is more along the lines of Urban Outfitters. TopShop will open in time to debut it’s Spring collection. The sunny pieces feel retro Americana: fringe jackets and scarves, washed denim bodysuits with a casual, cool blue button-up thrown over it, or the perfect plaid shirt knotted and tucked into high waisted shorts. At the same time, there's still plenty of the undeniably British looks we know and love: Union Jack blazers, big and bright floral, and snug motorcycle jackets. It looks like the beginning of a beautiful relationship between us and our across-the-pond neighbor. Visit TopShop's online store at http://www.topshopus.com/

Sheree Whitfield Drops Divorce Appeal
‘Real Housewives’ Sheree Whitfield and her attorneys have dropped a divorce appeal after coming to the conclusion that her cross eyed ex-husband, Bob Whitfield really is broke. According to Sheree’s attorney, the former NFL player hasn’t paid child support in 15 months and still owes Sheree $350,000. In their 2005 divorce trial, a Fulton county judge awarded Sheree custody of the couple’s two children, $2,142 a month in child support, a lump sum payment of $775,000 in cash and shares of four NFL retirement accounts. To date, Whitfield has paid $425,000 of the $775,000 owed. Rumor is Sheree quickly ran through that money and found she could not maintain the lifestyle she felt she deserved on just $2,142 a month. Sheree and her attorneys dropped the appeal now that Whitfield's mansion is in foreclosure and scheduled to be sold on the courthouse steps. So the question remains, will Sh!t by Sheree really show at fashion week?!

2009's Shooting Star Designers
Rad Hourani
Who He Is: A Canadian-born stylist-turned-designer with just three collections underneath his belt and a killer video for Mode Models that sky-rocketed him to cult-like status within the fashion elite.
Why He's Hot: Already garnering comparisons to Helmut Lang and Ann Demeulemeester, Hourani turned out an epic all-black third collection, proving that, though Canadian, New York might be where his heart is. Angular, sleek, intense, and did we mention unisex? These clothes prove that no matter what the season, true style (and solid talent) is timeless.
Frank Tell
Who He Is: A Spanish designer who is BFFs and studio-mates with Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and downtown "It" chick Pamela Love.
Why He's Hot: Sure, having friends in high places can't hurt, but it's his clothes—expertly tailored, daringly executed—that will propel him to cream-of-the-crop status this year. His spring '09 collection, a dazzling array of tulle and pleated cocktail frocks in a minimalist reduction of blacks and blues, held all the promise of a young Giles Deacon with the cool-girl turn-out (Leigh Lezark, Julia Reston-Roitfeld) of a Ben Cho show. Will 2009 be the Year for Frank? Time will tell.
Yeojin Bae
Who She Is: Australian-based designer named One to Watch by UK Sunday Times and Marie Claire, among others.
