My online shopping tips & favorite sites ♡

Hello my loves,

I want to share with you tonight my favourite online websites for shopping, that I love and would recommend in a heart beat. 

I know that it can be daunting shopping online and trust me, I have had my fair share of arguments with UPS and the local postal services to know how the bad side can be. There are so many sites out there it can be very hard to tell the difference between a legitimate e-tailer (I'm going to use this as my short hand for online retailers) and a fake cheap site. 

So I'm going to share with you some of my tried & tested favorites & some little tips for online shopping that I have learned...

My Favorite Clothing e-tailers:

Missguided 

(Perfect for weekend outfits & on trend pieces at very reasonable prices. They also offer very good delivery rates & are very accurate with their delivery times)

Visit the site here

ASOS

(I've been shopping here since it was marketed as A.S.O.S 'as seen on screen' and they used to focus on celebrity imitation style. Nowadays they are one of the most popular destinations for online shoppers, they host a multitude of brands and they have you covered for whatever it is you may need)

Visit the site here

House of CB

(If you are looking for a special dress for a special occasion where you want all eyes on you, House of CB is my one stop shop. Every dress is stunning and your only issue will be what one to pick)

Visit the site here

In The Style

(This brand is known for it's collaborations with the likes of Charlotte Crosby from Geordie Shore and Lauren Pope from TOWIE; they have really good price points & if you sign up to their email list they always send percentage-off codes!)

Visit the site here

Pretty Little Thing 

(This site is very similar to Missguided. They have a wide variety of on trend items available and are always adding new pieces. They as tend to stock the same item in a variety of colours so if you love how something fits you can have it in every shade!)

Visit the site here

Oh Polly

(I've mentioned this e-tailer on my Instagram before due to their impeccable customer service which in my opinion is invaluable. They specialize in dresses and are will pretty much stock all the clothes you've found yourself drooling over on Instagram. Their shipping is also super quick.)

My Favorite Beauty e-tailers

ASOS

(Again ASOS is basically a department store of beauty goodies. I get my Glam Glow face masks from here as well as my NARS & the balm makeup)

Visit the site here

Zoeva

(Zoeva is where I get my brushes. They are a German company and they sell the most beautiful & high quality brushes for very good prices. They provide excellent tracking service on their products so you can see monitor the delivery of your items)

Visit the site here

Beauty Bay

(If you're searching for Anastasia Beverly Hills products like Dip-brow and the contour palettes, Beauty has you covered. They also carry very different brands and unique products from america, & makeup artist favorites so it's worth having a good look!)

Visit the site here

Feel Unique

(This e-tailer has everything beauty related you could want and they always have really good savings on products like Kerastase, Redken and TIGI!)

My Favorite Shoe e-tailers:

Public Desire

(This e-tailer, is shoe heaven. They specialize in statement shoes in a variety of colours and styles. I dare you to go on to this website and not fill your cart up with a million shoes that you want! I find their sizes run true to size based on my feet)

Visit the site here

EGO

(Another shoe heaven, if they don't have your size on Public Desire, try EGO, they stock very similar styles and like PD, it's a shoe lovers heaven)

Some final tips:

• As irritating as you might find promotional mail, that is where you get the promotional codes and offers, so my advice is to always sign up for the newsletters. Lots of places will even give you a discount code for signing up.
• Watch the sizing and follow the size guide that each e-tailer provides. Especially note this if your shopping through a foreign e-tailer.
• When shopping from USA/Australia, if it comes by UPS/FED EX etc, you will be charged handling fees and more than likely customs. To avoid this, try choosing the delivery that will take the longest as this will come by standard post. I can't guarantee you won't be caught on taxes especially if it's a large package or if the contents are valuable but at least you won't be paying handling fees too.
• Always check out the returns policy for each individual e-tailer. They are all different and you don't want to be stuck with something that doesn't fit or suit. 
• If you can choose a tracking method for your delivery please always do. It might be a few euro or two more expensive, but you have got so much more come back if your item is lost in the mail if you've chosen a traceable form of delivery. If you're not sure if the method you're using is traceable, contact the customer care and they can tell you straight away.
• ALWAYS PAY WITH PAYPAL. This is my number one rule. Never, ever pay without this. Again it provides you with both security and comeback.

So that about wraps up my little online shopping blog. Do note that these are only some of my favorites, I would be here till next Christmas if I named them all!

If you have any questions or would like to know about any particular e-tailers, leave me a comment and I will get back to you.
