The internet provides us ladies with a vast array of possibilities. It allows us to catch up on our favorite television shows, Google important questions we can’t get out of our head, and Facebook stalk out ex-boyfriends all from the comfort of our bed. To put it simply; it’s fabulous. But probably the most fabulous thing about the internet  is the unlimited shopping. It’s a mall that never closes.

So many ways to find the perfect pair of boots! Sites created just to help you find the best necklace! Blogs determined to make you trendy!

I’m a bit of an expert in this whole online shopping area, so in an effort to share my wisdom with you I’ve listed my top five shopping sites. You’re welcome.

1. Lulus.com. Because these are designers you won’t know. These are pieces you won’t have seen before.  Lulu’s features designers from all around the world and only snags a few of each piece. So if you want an item no one else will be wearing, this is where you should be shopping. And if you really want a super unique piece, check out their vintage collection. They’ve got it all from jumpsuits to bell bottoms — at prices that won’t break the bank.

The best part? The atmosphere of the entire website. It’s warm and welcoming and so girly you just can’t help but giggle. From the awesome names of their ensembles to the cute descriptions that accompany them, Lulu’s feels like more than just a shopping site; it’s a shopping experience. And in my opinion, it’s one no girl should go without.

I’ve always been a total sucker for sequins. I heart them. I also heart Alice+Olivia. For those of you unfamiliar with this completely amazing designer, Stacey Bendet launched the line in 2002 on a personal quest to create the perfect pair of flattering and form-fitting pants. Her signature style was met with instant success, and “Stacey Pants” (what a name!) quickly became a must-have denim alternative for the sophisticated ladies who lunch but also have yen for smooth retro styling.

Every year, every season, fashion seems to be pretty particular. Kind of like the bitty old women who order their salads with extra tomato, hold the croutons, dressing on the side, and please use ONLY romaine lettuce– fashion trends the past few years have been distinct and particular.

Skinny jeans, vests, bubble dresses and wedges were seen in the collections of every designer from Marc Jacobs to Miu Miu to the guest designers for Target. I always like the idea of being told what’s “in.” My eye gets used to the new styles quickly and I felt sooo like LiLo (Lindsay Lohan) this year in my skinny jeans, skull tops and black nail polish.

So what gives now? Clearly the fashion geniuses of the world have been slacking/ not collaborating/ doing too many drugs to have any sort of open communication. Or maybe they decided to throw the ways of uniformity out the window and let originality take over, but either way, I for one am confused! It’s a smorgasbord of fashion out there and anything goes. Super-skinny, super wide, low rise, high-waisted (um, helllllo camel toe), big and printed shirts like the ones my grandma rocks when she goes to get her hair done, or form fitted and boyish (have you seen this springs Gap collection? boy scouts anyone?) Fashion this season is more fickle then I am at an ice-cream store (and trust me I am FI-CKLE). Read More »

One of my fave designer shopping sites, shopbop.com, is having a special until Monday, the 16th. Purchases of $100 or over get 20 bucks off, $250 or over get $50 off and $500+ get $100 off.

So obviously, I did my best to locate an item (nope, I can’t splurge today unfortunately) for a little over $100, just so that I could get that $20 off … and so I can add a little something cute to my clothing collection.I’m so excited to report that I have succeeded.

This little yellow mini dress ($128 - score!) is just perfect. Why? Because it’s a mini dress, it’s yellow and it has really cute pockets — all of which are very “in” right now. Did I hit three birds with one stone or what?!
