The Best Places to Shop Online

Merry Monday, friends and fellow trend setters! I'm especially excited about today's post because I love to shop. Online, offline- you name it, I shop it. Therefore, when I saw Fashionista's latest post on "The Best Places to Shop Online", I knew I had to share it with the world and the rest of the blogosphere. Fashionista compiled a list of the best places to shop online- considering factors like breadth and quality of the products sold, customer service, and the overall look and feel of the online retail site. What's more is that Fashionista included some of my favorite sites like Shopbop, ASOS, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Net-a-Porter on their list. I hope you will enjoy this list as much as I did. Plus, I hope it finds you well this holiday gift-giving season!

1. Net-a-Porter: "The ultimate spot for straight-from-the-runway pieces. Plus, it's really well-designed and easy to navigate." (Category - Luxury)

2. Fenton/Fallon: "[Fashionista] loves Dana Lorenz's work, and this simple site allows us to see it all in one place." (Category - Niche Jewelry)

3. ASOS: "Impressive selection of in-house and contemporary labels. Gentle prices." (Category - Mass)

4. ShopStyle: "If [Fashionista] is looking for something particular-but-random, like a short, mint-green dress, this is where we search. Their partner sites include all the big department stores, and our favorite indie boutiques, too." (Category - Search Engine)

5. La Garconne: "Kind of like your favorite neighborhood boutique, La Garconne carries all the 'cool' brands- from APC to Proenza Schouler to Vanessa Bruno. The downside? They tend to have limited stock." (Category - Luxury & Indie)

6. Shop It To Me: "[Fashionista] loves Shop It To Me because it culls your favorite sites for sales and then sends updates on what's discounted in your size from your favorite brands. It makes impulse purchasing easier." (Category - Sales Feed)

7. J.Crew & Madewell: "There's so much to see on these sites, it's kind of nice to just search the wedding section, then the denim section, then Alexa's holiday picks, then Jenna's holiday picks... Of course, we always end up buying something." (Category - Masstige)

8. Creatures of Comfort: "Owner Jade Lai features a good deal of her current stock on the site, but it's the ongoing sale section that's habit-forming." (Category - Niche)

9. Opening Ceremony: "Beyond their covetable private label, Opening Ceremony stocks plenty of cool designers- from Band of Outsiders to Jeremy Scoot-in their web store." (Category - Niche & Luxury)

10. Fred Flare: "If you like buying kitschy jewelry and stationary, this is the Internet destination for you." (Category - Mass)

11. Yoox: "From Givenchy couture to Margiela boots, this is the place to get high, high-end discount designer goods online." (Category - Discount Luxury)

12. Shopbop: "One of the best selections of contemporary goods out there, from T by Alexander Wang to Rag & Bone." (Category - Contemporary)

13. FarFetch: "Unique pieces from niche boutiques across Europe and the U.S." (Category - Luxury & Niche)

14. The Outnet: "A great place to find discount items by hot London designers like Erdem and Christopher Kane." (Category - Discount)

15. Need Supply: "One of the best places to find smaller contemporary labels and lots of denim brands in one place online." (Category - Niche Contemporary, Denim Focus)

16. Erie Basin: "Beautiful vintage and niche label jewelry." (Category - Vintage & New Jewelry)

17. Edon Manor: "If you only want to shop the best of the best, then this is your sport. We're talking Alaia, people. Perfect Alaia." (Category - Niche Luxury)

18. Revolve: "First place to shop online for denim." (Category - Contemporary, Denim Focus)

19. SSense: "From DVF to Acne to Margiela, this Canadian website has pretty much every brand you'd ever like to shop." (Category - Niche, Contemporary & Luxury)
