Online Shopping 101

Our darling friend has posed this momentous question...

"It's time we got me into this online shopping business! I'm untainted- let me into your world! Where do I start?...."

GREAT question Bron. We present to you our top ten favourite online stores (for realistic shopping) right now...


1. E-bay

"Find what you love in the store.... and then buy it on E-bay for half the price!" - 'n'
We found this YSL 'Arty' ring on E-bay for $150. It would be criminal NOT to buy it...


2. Forever 21

Such a huge range with so many bargains to be found. We have just done a joint order from this giant fashion house... we won't give too much away but let's just say we're excited!
These Suedette Ankle Shoes for US$24.80 are the perfect summery bootie
3. Miijo

Stalk your favourite celebs, then buy their accessories!
Low Luv By Erin Wasson Large snake hinged cuff in silver (as seen on Erin herself + in SATC2)



4. TopShop

AMAZING. Can we please have (a proper) one in Sydney already?... this is getting ridiculous!
But like many of these huge online stores on the other side of the world, we are constantly in opposite seasons. Luckily it doesn't stop us from admiring winter pieces like this gorgeous Ultimate Military Cape


5. Queen's Wardrobe

We heart this Korean store for it's designer vibe at much lower prices - notably the Chloe-esque designs and super comfy shoes. They also have a great marketing technique - they use bloggers. We would be oh so willing to participate...
These are the Lovely Wave shorts bought by 'k'; can't wait to see them on her!


6. ASOS

With it's own super cheap in-house brand plus a massive range of International designers - this is your one-stop shop for everything and anything!
This $6 staple skirt is too cheap to miss


7. My Catwalk

The latest in Australian designs - a great way to see the newest releases from designers such as Zimmerman, Ellery, Josh Goot and many other genii. Dying for this Shakuhachi Day Tripper Lace Shoulder dress for summer!


8. Off the runway

DEFINITELY worth looking at - some beautiful beautiful accessories straight from the runway. Features designs from big names like The Row, Christopher Kane, Alexander Wang,Tom Binns, & Mania Mania. This is a beauty by Mawi


9. Net-a-porter

Ok so maybe this isn't as affordable as the other sites... but it is equally fun to computer-window-shop in! All the major designers come to play here and the result is the best collection of key pieces for every season. The diffusion lines like Marc by Marc Jacobs, T by Alexander Wang and See by Chloe are probably safer to fall in love with.
You wish...Rick Owens Leather Wedge boots


10. Vintage Princess

Luscious leather bags and cuffs, like this Billie Jane Grey Handbag which is the perfect deviation from black for the warmer months!
