You've read about my obsession with online shopping on this blog and are probably sick to death of my tweets on this habit of mine. Online shopping brings me and the rest of my office a whole lot of joy. We crowd around each other's desks when parcels arrive and eagerly await for the recipient to rip them open.
A couple of friends have sought my advice and have asked which websites I go to when I shop online. So today's the day I've decided to share with you my online shopping secrets. Today is the day I decide to give back to you all for your continued support and bring some (online shopping) joy into your lives.
- MyCatwalk.com: This is my go-to website for wearable Aussie fashion. It was here I did my first online purchase, an Alice McCall shift dress with a geometric print, some years ago. What keeps me coming back? The discount code - enter "toutie" at the checkout for 10% off. What else? The amazing bargains to be scored when you least expect it. Dion Lee jacket - 40% off? I was grinning for weeks.
- MyChameleon: The one-stop site for the girl with the effortless style. Here you'll find the perfect mix of sought-after Australian labels like Gary Bigeni and Therese Rawsthorne paired with international names such as Alexander Wang and Camilla Skovgaard. All too cool for school. But get in quick, these hot to trot designs sell out.
- The Grand Social: What's great about this site is that you're actually buying from the label itself not a middle-man. That means there are lots of one-offs and samples to be found so you'll never have to worry about someone else wearing the same outfit as you when you hit the town.
- Maximillia: The cutesy illustrations on the homepage are what first caught my eye but look closely and you'll see a beautiful selection of clothing sourced across the globe. From homegrown Australian and New Zealand labels including Strummer, Ruby and Karen Walker to Thai fashion sensations, Stresis and Disaya, you'll find it all here.
- The New Guard: You might have been to their store in Unley, South Australia. But for those who haven't, why bother when you can just do it all online? They've edited a selection of the most stylish Australian designers to go with the coolest European designers out there. I'm loving the edit of Acne, Isabel Marant and local label, Dress Up.
- Final Episode: We all know how important it is to accessorise and you don't need to look any further. This collection of quirky cool jewellery, scarves, belts and eyewear will add pops of colour and instant funk to your oufit. And no-one will know that notice that bland ol' dress you're wearing, let alone realise that it's actually your mum's.
Stay tuned for the continuation of my online sites Loh-down.
