Nordstrom just announced that it is teaming with Topshop to up its on-trend ante, bringing the British retailer into 14 of its department stores around the country this September. Each Nordstrom location will install 2,500-square-foot Topshop women’s and 1,500-square-foot Topman departments. You can also expect to find exclusive Topshop for Nordstrom merchandise debuting in the Fall as well as a more general shift to edgier product for the department store, which has largely been known for its more traditional aesthetic. “We think our customers are going to love their take on trend-led fashion at great prices,” said Pete Nordstrom, Nordstrom’s president of merchandising. Still the move isn't likely to detract from any of Topshop's plans for expanding its freestanding stores in North America; the label's fourth store is scheduled to open in LA next Spring and open 15 to 20 flagships over the next five years. That's more Topshop to shop all over the US — win, win.

>> Rachel Zoe has "no idea" what annual sales might be for her new eponymous collection, which hits a long list of stores in July: Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Intermix, Selfridges, Kirna Zabete, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Shopbop.com. But she says she went numb when she heard who had bought the line: “It was this dream that I never thought would be reality because I was petrified — I was. I feel so complete now becoming a designer and having my son. I’m that happiest that I’ve ever been in my life.”

Neiman Marcus, for one, is launching Zoe's sportswear, handbags, and shoes at all 41 of its doors, plus online and at Bergdorf Goodman; "The rollout across the entire Neiman Marcus Group is a rare endorsement of a fledgling brand," WWD notes. Why the decision? "She is a real talent,” Ken Downing, SVP and fashion director of Neiman Marcus, notes of Zoe. “She understands the customer and she’s brought an effortless chic to the collection. The clothes are going to appeal to women of many ages. And, she’s got an amazing name.”

Next up for Zoe? The fourth season of The Rachel Zoe Project, which will begin airing on Bravo in July; and jewelry for Fall 2012. “I wish it were for spring,” Zoe says. “I am dying to do jewelry. I’m gagging.”

How many of you wore skippys all summer while growing up?  I clearly remember getting crisp white skippys at the beginning of the summer and rocking them out like every day - running around the neighborhood playing tag, jump robe, and having water gun fights.  I guess that's the beauty of Brooklyn.

Skippys were the ultimate affordable footwear at the time, and behold - Today's Obsession is the new school summer skippy: the flat espadrille.  I am in love.  Can't wait for another fun filled summer!
