I love to shop! This should come as no surprise to anyone! Although I do love a good shopping outing, I can also appreciate a good shopping spree from the comfort of my couch in my pajamas! Through my trial and tribulations I have learned many things, including some of the best stores for online shopping! I will gladly share my wealth of knowledge with you now! Also, while shopping online I prefer to shop through Ebates. Ebates is a online shopping search engine, that pays you to shop. You simply make an online account and shop at your favorite stores through the links on the website. Accounts are free and if you’re shopping anyways, why not get paid?! Sign up here.
First up on the docket Asos. Asos is a UK based brand and store that sells tons and I mean tons of clothing, shoe’s, and accessories. If there is something specific you are looking for, you will likely be able to find it here! They offer a HUGE sale section and FREE worldwide shipping. One important thing to keep in mind is all of the clothing and shoes are in UK sizing which is vastly different from sizing we are used to. There is a way to adjust the settings on the website to change it to US sizing which is highly recommend, so whatever you choose to buy is actually the right size. You also have the option to change currencies, which is another must! Once you’ve changed the sizing and currency options you’re all set to shop away! http://www.asos.com/women/
Next store will also come as no surprise, Sephora! While I prefer to swatch and try out makeup and skincare in store, I find Sephora to often be sold out of everything I wish to purchase. Not to mention it’s always crowded and being color matched by an “expert” usually ends in you purchasing a foundation two shades darker than you need. Hence I often turn to sephora.com, where what you’re looking for is often in stock and you can read the descriptions of foundation shades and usually end up with a better match. They also offer tons of different brands NOT found in stores as well give you tons of free samples which you also don’t get in store. If you order something that you don’t love or is the wrong color, returns in store are fairly easy! Plus if you’re like me and spend more money there than anyone should, you get free shipping! Makes it all worth it right? http://www.sephora.com/
Last but certainly not least is Hautelook. Hautelook and I go way back, so far that it probably launched my online shopping addiction! Hautelook is a daily deal type website that offers your favorite name brands in everything from clothing, shoes and accessories to makeup and skincare. They have sections dedicated to menswear and children’s clothing and even house ware! The website is a part of the Nordstrom family and also lets you shop at Nordstrom Rack which is an entire store dedicated to the bargain shopper. When I say bargain I don’t mean value village, I mean on sale items from Micheal Kors, Marc Jacobs and Kate Spade. It’s practically a shoppers dream! They offer a set shipping rate which also includes duties and they do offer returns but it is not the easiest process and you end up losing out on shipping both ways. Other than that you can get great deals on some amazing things! But be warned, because items sell out fast and sales only last days it can quickly become addicting! Also because some items are shipped to Hautelook before they are in turn shipped to you, shipping times can be unpredictable! I’ve often had things show up in the mailbox I had honestly forgotten about! In the end you can get some great buys and as I have been will continue to shop with them for a long time! http://www.hautelook.com/short/41tDl
FYI all websites mentioned above also have apps for your phones and tablets making shopping easy on the go! Happy Shopping! Stay Beautiful
