Ms. Elany #2--Girly Time! 11/27/2009
This is the part where I'm a little behind on blog posts (hey, it's my birthday week! I can do that), so I decide to share something I know very well: girly things! I'm listing here for you some of the details about my favorite websites that make me happy to be a girl. First up is ModCloth! One of my favorite places to get clothing/accessories/decor from indie designers, and a lot of it is vintage-inspired. As anyone of my girly friends knows, I love pretty much everything they have :) They also have amazing customer service and fantastic shipping! The site and company have a great community feel to them, and promote the idea of fans being involved as much as possible, through picture-sharing, contests, and all sorts of good stuff. Plus, like any good website, you can make wishlists and share them with your friends/family (perfect for the holidays). Check them out or Check out my wishlist Next, try Lulu's, for similar fare. Sometimes Lulu's and ModCloth will have the same items, but one site will have them cheaper than the other. Lulu's carries a few more mainstream brands that you might recognize, such as Billabong and Soda, that you might not find on ModCloth. I haven't picked up anything from Lulu's yet, but it's definitely a place I love to look! You can find Lulu's here Of course, where would any girl be without Etsy? This independent marketplace is pretty well known as a great place to find just about anything you could want. You might have to fish a bit for what you really want, but you'll get it for a good price! I especially like to buy hairpieces from Etsy (fascinators and stuff), but I've also bought a fantastic skirt and an adorable pair of shoes from them, and I have my eye on a gorgeous ring, all vintage. It's especially a great place to get one-of-a-kind type stuff. The only real con I've found is that shipping from etsy producers can be a bit costly, sometimes. But, since you can communicate directly with the shop owner through messages on the site (or even through email), sometimes you can work them down a bit if it's reasonable. One of my favorite Etsy shops is here! The last two I'll include are some of my favorite physical shops to visit, but they also have a website. Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe probably make up a good half of my wardrobe at any given time. They're great about having plenty of stuff that's on-trend and adorable, and they're some of the cheapest trendy pieces you can find! Of course, sometimes their quality is related to their price; I've had a shirt fall apart after only a few wears if I wasn't careeful. Overall, it's really cute clothing for a REALLY good price, and the stores are a fabulous place to go if you're looking for a trend you think you could rock but aren't sure, and don't want to spend a lot of money on. I prefer shopping in their stores because sometimes fit can be a little wonky, but their online service is just as good, and the return policy (at least at Charlotte Russe) is pretty great too. I highly recommend checking out these chains if they're in a mall near you! Check out Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 online. Enjoy! (Even if your wallets don't) CommentsLeave a Reply |
