Alice McCall for Topshop, a second chance

Pics above from Alice McCalls fabulous Spring 08 line...not topshop

Earlier this year when I found out that Ozzie designer Alice McCall was doing a line for Topshop, I went online straight away to see what was there. I immediately fell in love with the What Goes Round dress (pictured below).  Apparently so did everyone else, because it was instantaneously sold out.  The top part of the dress is heathered grey jersey with a racer back, and the bottom has a great modern pixelation of a feminine floral pattern. Lethal combo really. So I have been checking eBay constantly, but unfortunately for me everyone who purchased this dress must have been very satisfied with their choice (save one time, when my iPhone eBay app decided to fail me...I blame AT&T entirely, of course).

So why am I picking at this old wound? Well, my friends, there is hope for me yet.  Maybe not for this dress, but for Alice McCall and Topshop.  Her previous collection had been such a hit that she will be creating a second capsule line that will hit Topshop come September 25th, this time inspired by Atari.  And as one who lost at pong as a kid and pretty much sucked at space invaders, but feels an overwhelming nostalgia for the 80's, I will once again be on my computer coveting her creations. So should you...but only after I have made my purchase of choice, thank you very much.
