how to: online shop

I probably shouldn't be teaching you how to do this, because I assure you it will be a source of spending and procrastination, but online shopping is pretty much my favourite thing to do. I love it even more than real life shopping because you can literally spend hours browsing undisturbed.


My favourites:


Net-A-Porter - Designer haven. Most often out of my price range but that have a great sale around June/July where you can score up to 70% off.

Far Fetch - As above, lots of designer fabulousness.

Topshop - Good online selection, lots of shoes!

Asos - Huge range, quite often has specials

Forever21 - absolute bargain, so many options that are cheap and updated regularly


Tips

1/ Be sensible

Don’t use anything that looks obviously dodgy, I mean you’re giving them your credit card here. Stick to real companies you know and trust.

2/ Sizes

Become acquainted with your measurements, what size you are and what size that translates into for different countries. Pick stores that allow exchange if something doesn’t fit. I never buy swimming costumes online because that’s something I prefer to try on.
