Fast Fashion.

Today's post is all about e-shopping. Whether you prefer to purchase online or in-store, it's no secret that every gal loves to browse in her downtime. I prefer to call myself a broswer, as I rarely purchase online- unless, of course, I've seen it before, have tried it on before or seriously can't live without it. Most of the time, I purchase the bulk of my items in-store. However, online retail chains have been stepping up their game, offering online customers discounts that in-store ones are not subjected to. Today's post on e-shopping sites was inspired by the most recent issue of InStyle Magazine, where a feature story on 250 great e-shopping sites were listed and described. If you're an online shop-a-haulic, then I suggest that you invest in the latest edition of InStyle. Below, I have listed my top eight personal favorites. Enjoy!


1.  ASOS
This online shop is based in the UK, but don't let that scare you. The styles are always up-to-date, and even ahead of what we have here in the US. Plus, they have great shipping rates so overseas shipping fares won't break the bank. I especially love the dresses on this site.


2.  Shopbop
If you're in the market for a really great piece of clothing, I highly recommend Shopbop. While they carry a larger price tag in comparison to the rest of the sites, the pieces here scream quality. Everything on Shopbop is super chic and always right on with current style trends. My favorite thing about Shopbop, however, is the lookbooks that they feature, which provide for great inspiration. AW bonus: They have a fabulous sale section.


3.  Revolve
Revolve is great because of it carries so many designers. There's always something new and exciting on this site. Plus, I think that there is something for (almost) every price range on here. The lines of designers that that site features often has select pieces that are not available in other stores. All in all, I love shopping for denim on Revolve. Great selection!


4.  Nordstrom
Nordstrom is my go to. Whether online or, especially, in-store, Nordstrom never seems to disappoint. I love all of the clothing lines that they carry in their "savvy" and "t.b.d" departments. A great selection of shoes is always a crowd pleaser, as well. Most of the time, Nordstrom has great shipping deals and promotional codes.


5.  Anthropologie
Anthro has always been one of my favorites. While the clothes are always funky and eclectic, I can't get enough of the beautiful accessories that Anthropologie has to offer. If you're in the market for great belts, shoes, bags, and jewelry- look no further than Anthropologie.


6.  Free People
I love Free People's site because there always seems to be a great mix of pieces. While FP can seem a little hippie-chic sometimes, browsing their site makes it evident that there are pieces for all styles at FP. The dress section is my personal favorite, along with the shoes. The shoes! Great finds here. Also important to note is the always stocked sale section.


7.  Sole Struck
If shoes are your vice, Sole Struck is for you. They have hundreds of the latest and greatest new styles. Shoes galore is the name of the game at this online haven. Beware, the hottest styles sell out in the blink of an eye!


8.  Piperlime
I can't get enough of Piperlime. Why? Because it has everything! Shoes galore, great clothing pieces and top picks from celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe. I adore the lookbooks on this site, as well, and the shoe section is something to rave about. They have the largest selection of Frye boots, by far. Also, there are always promotional codes and discounts so checking in regularly is a must.
