The long awaited New York Fashion Week is finally upon us. And you know what that means… Yet another excuse (not that we need any) to dress in our high-fashion, envelope-pushing duds and strut around New York City like we own the place. It also means getting to chat with some of the hottest fashion inspiration in town. So, we thought we’d kick off NYFW with a quick chat with Sarah Haymes, Personal Shopping Manager at TopShop (one of our favorites). Here it is:
