Lemondrop

New York City Lemondroppers rejoice! Topshop, the zeitgeist-inspired fashion franchise from across the pond, finally opens its first U.S. outpost today! Nestled at the cross-section of Broadway and Broome in Soho, Topshop's American flagship is celebrating its launch with in-store freebies, and guest DJs -- like LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy (!!!) -- spinning 'round the clock. Before you depart, check out these tips for surviving opening day, courtesy of The Guardian. Meanwhile, out-of-towners who can't make the pilgrimage can shop online.

Score this season's must-have romper -- which the Brits charmingly dub a "playsuit" -- starting at $44, and the Kate Moss boho-fabulous Spring '09 collection, which also debuts online today.

About to lose your job? Ford says you should buy a car. The car-maker announced on Tuesday that if you lose your job within nine months of buying a new Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle, the company will cover up to 12 months of your car payments, up to $700 a month. We guess the whole buying-stuff-with-credit-you-don't-have-wrecked-the-economy thing went a bit over their heads.
