I've always been obsessed with clothes and shopping. I always felt like I was at home when I entered a mall or cute store. When I came to school, I lost my safe haven because I didn't have a car, and the nearest mall was 30 minutes away. At school, I had to improvise to put my mind at ease. That's when my online shopping addiction began. My name is Niki O'Shea, and I am an avid (not addictive) online shopper.

Over the past two years, I've been trying to avoid online stores I can find in any old mall. I love little boutiques and shops that are one of a kind. If you're in search of a new favorite store where no one else shops, look no further.

1. The Rage

I found The Rage via Pinterest, and it's honestly one of my saviors. I've gotten all my formal dresses from here as well as many cute tops and shoes. Bonus, they always have free shipping! Check it out!

2. Four Sisters Boutique

Four Sisters Boutique is a local store in Omaha that is just taking off. I found them on Instagram and finally went to visit the store a couple of weeks ago after obsessing over all of their clothes, and I fell in love. Their unique pieces are amazing for any event. Although they won't have an online store until the fall, you can call in and order items that you see on Instagram. Check it out!

3. Lulu's

Lulu's is the ultimate store for dresses. They literally have every kind of dress you can imagine and in every color, too. They have something for everyone and go out of their way to make sure you get what you want. Check it out!

4. Tobi

Tobi is the motherland for every article of clothing you could ever imagine. They have an eclectic variety, and the shopping never ends. Their sizing is a little weird, so I recommend buying the next size up to be safe. All of their new arrivals are 30% off, and they frequently have coupon codes for 50% off the entire site. That 50% off usually gets me, and I always end up spending way too much money on new things. Check it out!

5. Ella Bleu

Ella Bleu is another one I found on Pinterest. They are based out of Plano, Texas and have a great variety of tops, bottoms, and dresses. Although this shop is a little more expensive than my other favorites, their clothing is just so unique and adorable I want to buy it all! Check it out!

6. Dainty Hooligan

Last but certainly not least is Dainty Hooligan. I found them on Facebook and am absolutely obsessed with their clothing. They're another store that is a great place to buy dresses. They even have a category of dresses under $45 (score). Check it out!

It's time to apologize to your bank account for the damage these stores will do to it.
