Shopping On The Net

While I love fashion I find going into stores unbearable at the best of times. But, having lived in New York for over a year, I have become quite obsessed with online shopping. You don't have to deal with crowds, changing rooms or pesky sales staff (no offence, I was once one myself). Plus, I don't get distracted by all the things in store I want, so I don't make as many compulsive purchases as I used to. I get online, get what I need and get off as quickly as possible. Minimal damage done (right Michael?).

Here is a list of my Top 10 shopping websites (in no particular order)...

Urban Outfitters
Great for everything, I am a little obsessed with this store. It helps that it is generally pretty cheap too.

The Outnet
Wishlist items on sale, what's not to like.

I will always have a soft spot for Topshop.
