I know exactly just how tired you are of the mall. I mean, long hours of shopping, overcrowding, and what is most important... you will end up paying a lot of money for stuff that many people are going to own as well. That being said, I daresay your money is worth more than a basic outfit.
Only because I GET YOU, I will be providing you with these 11 online stores that I promise you will change the way you look at clothes; F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
1. MANGO.COM.
Apparently, we are not lucky enough to get more MANGO stores around us. Existing in only one location, in Washington Ave, Miami Beach, MANGO is most commonly known in Europe (it was founded in Spain). However, the store located here only carries women's designs, whereas on the online store, you can access both sexes.
MANGO is unique in design and affordable in its majority. Totally a must for standing out and good quality european-style fashion.
2. SIMMI SHOES (simmi.com)
Once upon a time, I "stumbled" on the land of what is known as "killer shoes". Seen only by a few, SIMMI was created in the UK,from where it sells beautiful and distinctive styles of shoes, and what is more important, to absolutely affordable prices.
3. SABO SKIRT. (saboskirt.com)
A boutique, SABO, is no cheap deal. That being said, I had to include it because I felt they have the most refined, good quality, found-nowhere else styles. There is no physical store for what I know, and they are based only in Australia. Yes, of course, they ship to the US! And yes, you are going to get a lot of "where you get that?"s, so be ready to make them faint.
4. KRIADO (kriado.com)
KRIADO is my most recent discovery, and I assure you it has given me sleepless nights since then. KRIADO is an exclusive brand, by designer Nathalie Kriado, who is based in Miami. Because of the exclusiveness, quality, and design, KRIADO can be a little costly, although not impossible to afford. My advice: check it out for a "casual runway" look.
5. BRITLOW SWIM (britlowswim.com)
Since beautiful Miami is an endless summer, I had to include the best of the best when it comes to swimwear.
6. KILLTHEBOYS (killtheboys.com)
Yay! Something that's Miami-based! Perhaps you don't recognize the name, but this is the website for Electric Boutique, located in 14248 SW 8th St. Whether you are shopping online or not, they have a variety of "Miami sexy", yet elegant items... to kill them boys right?
Safe hunting to you ladies.
7. NASTY GAL. (nastygal.com)
Nasty Gal, we have a bond. Each piece they put out there for the buyers I view as a unique piece of art, carefully chosen. Extravagant, crazy, fashionable, different. I mean, love. That says it all, girls.
8. URBAN OUTFITTERS.
Of course you know Urban. Urban is life.
I know this is a store that you can clearly have access to in the mall. However, I wanted to include it because of the variety of items it sells, from furniture and house decor items to clothing and makeup. Come on, can you really resist all the unique things you can find in Urban? NO, YOU CAN'T. So embrace it, my fellow shoppers.
9. COLOURPOP (colourpop.com)
I had to include makeup, of course. ColourPop, in case you don't know about it yet, produces amazing matte lipsticks, among many other products such as eyeshadows, bronzers, eyeliners, etc. It is exclusively online and super affordable, good quality brand.
10. CHUBBIES (chubbiesshorts.com)
Yes. Chubbies. In case you don't know about it, Chubbies is an online store that sells mainly shorts or clothing in general for men, with the exception of a few pieces of swimwear and shorts for us ladies.
I had to do something for the guys, or for you that want to seriously buy your boyfriend amazing styles.
You are welcome.
11. BEAUTY BAKERY. (beautybakerie.com)
Yup, they got the goods! I am so impressed by the creativity of the website, I think I just fell in love with it, first sight and all. Definitely recommend these sweets, specially the matte liquid lipsticks that come in as many colors as your mind desires.
Go easy on the sugar though!
OH! And just before I make my way out, make sure you check out UNiDAYS for discounts in many popular brands, exclusively for college students, and GOODSHOP, for "them coupons".
Good shopping!
