Online shopping great way to waste time
What would become of a 15-month old girl with a keen fashion sense who made onlookers laugh as she worked her way through the racks as if she knew the hottest trend? A UW-Madison student who spends hours shopping on the web when she should be focusing more on her other studies, that’s what!
The good news for you is now you can shop from your home or office and take as much pleasure in it as I do. A little warning, however - hide all credit cards. Succumbing to the urge to splurge is quite difficult to avoid.
Can’t fly to the Big Apple? Lucky for you, one of New York’s chicest hotspots has a locale in cyberspace, Scoopnyc.com. Owners Stefani Greenfield and Uzi Ben-Abraham offer the ‘ultimate closet concept’ where one is capable of finding all the latest trends in one place. Spring fever dominates this funky online boutique featuring feather light C & C California tees, Marc by Marc Jacobs espadrilles, Diane von Furstenberg dresses and jewelry in bright shades that will make you stand out – even in the shade. The Fina Firenze macramé tie belt is my top pick and will make any outfit ‘boho’ chic. But be prepared to hand over the green.
Madisonians be proud! Kraft and Oscar Meyer move over because Wisconsin is no longer only home to cheese. Bop, located on W. Gorham Street, has become well established in the fashion world. They have taken their store and created an even better website that is coveted by style mavens around the world. The trendsetters behind the computer at shopbop.com never cease to amaze dedicated shoppers with daily updates of new merchandise from all the hottest brands of the moment. When I say all, I mean it. You can find the latest from Juicy Couture, True Religion, Susana Monaco, and Rebecca Taylor to the most up-and-coming styles from Paige Premium Denim and LaROK. The brands on this site will cost you a pretty penny. However, you are guaranteed a great steal from the sale page - a key for those of us on a budget and without a trust fund.
Don’t mistake Junkinourtrunk.com with its name. The custom-designed jewelry, handbags, knitwear and accessories are far from anything relating to junk. The Ruthie agate pendant necklace, a double-stranded vintage piece with Japanese and glass beads, is a trendy addition to your jewelry collection. The vintage tees are my favorite and come in all different varieties. All you need to add is one of the long scarves, and your inner hippie will emerge.
Online shopping can become addicting. I know. But remember, this doesn’t have to end in cut up credit cards. Window-shopping online is possible and a great way to see the latest trends without leaving the comforts of your home. It also may even save you a little money that would otherwise go to fashion magazines whose future only lies in the garbage can. Instead of throwing your money away, take some time out to shop the net and you will instantly become fashion forward and consumer savvy.
