I’m always checking out fashion websites for things that are a little quirky, yet ultra cool. Here are a few of sites that I visit often:
- Studded Ballet Slippers – Bona Drag
Bona Drag – I found this site through Lucky Magazine. My favorite items from this site are the studded ballet slippers and the $95 leather motorcycle jacket (YES, that is the price). Who cares if it’s “cheap leather” as in the description, it’s still leather, right?
Plumo – Again, the wanna be Brit in me is always drawn to the UK sites. I purchased a very cute dress on sale from this site, so you should definitely check out their most current clearance sale. Keep in mind that sizes may be in UK measurements, so use the newly added link above to check the most appropriate size for you.
Caro London – Another UK site. But the reason I went to this site is because the dress I bought from Plumo.com came from Caro London. I ended up finding another color and print in the dress I originally bought and found other beautiful items that I liked as well, like nightwear, robes, accessories, decorations and children’s clothing. They even have cotton or waterproof printed shower caps. Their sale section is also good, and their prices drop significantly.

ASOS – I’m a very big fan of Topshop. At the launch of their US store in NYC, they also updated their prices to include US dollars. This meant that the prices were no longer subject to exchange rates! If you pay attention to the fluctuating rate of currency, sometimes the British Pound is up, and sometimes it’s down a little. ASOS is a great site with tons of current fashion (they have sales often), but their prices convert to US dollars, meaning that they don’t have separate prices for us Yanks. Plus, their shipping has changed to a flat rate of $6 (before, it depended on international postal rates). Parents: they have a great children’s clothing section.
Topshop – I mentioned how much I love this store and I still do, even if their online shop updated their site to include US prices. Nevertheless, I can’t resist their true British style and fantastic shoes. Although I’ve been to the SoHo location in NYC, I much prefer their Oxford Circus location in London. Granted, the last time I was in London, I was 5 months pregnant. Did that stop me? Not when they have a maternity section! That maternity dress I bought is so stylish that I can still wear it today by cinching the ties a little tighter in the back.
Just a few sites to check out when you have time. I guess when it comes to shopping, doesn’t everyone?
