Spring is has almost arrived in Binghamton, even though the snow this week might be convincing you otherwise! And once the weather finally stabilizes the first thing I want to do is get rid of my puffy jacket and finally wear some lighter layers and cute cutoffs and well, really anything without the North Face logo on it. This spring fever necessitates some serious spring shopping but if you haven’t noticed Binghamton doesn’t exactly offer the best shopping choices in all the land (sorrynotsorry Oakdale mall). And if you’re not feeling like making the trek to ‘cuse for some real shopping then you might feel like you’re out of options. But alas there are some really amazing websites with adorable clothing that will deliver you a new wardrobe right to your BU box. And many of these websites have free shipping on orders of $100 or more so if you don’t want to pay for shipping then just have a joint online shopping trip with a couple of your friends and I promise you’ll hit $100 in no time! Here are my top 3 absolute favorite places to online shop!
1) Gypsy Warrior:
Description:
Gypsy warrior has edgy and vintage inspired clothing and just got in a lot of great stuff for spring!
Shipping:
Gypsy Warrior is one of my fave stores located in Jersey. But not to worry Long Islanders, they have an amazing website and they ALWAYS have free US shipping and on top of this, they are usually having a pretty great sale!
My Favorite Spring Item:
Loves Adventure Fedora $58
I am obsessed with Fedoras! They are so cute and versatile and what better way to welcome spring than by giving yourself a little shade with the cutest hat ever. This fedora will go with literally anything and will take your outfit to a whole other level.
2) Brandy Melville:
Description:
Brandy Melville is an Italian brand inspired by the L.A. lifestyle. Their clothes are effortlessly cute and chic. It is so easy to order Brandy’s stuff online because most Brandy Melville items are “one size fits most”. So if you get worried about which size to order when shopping online this makes it so much easier!
Shipping:
They have a bunch of stores in Cali and the city and a couple more in Jersey and Connecticut and one in Boston but they offer free shipping on all US orders over $100.
My Favorite Spring Item:
Halle Hoodie $25
This hoodie looks so comfy I just want to curl up with it on a windy day at the beach and take a nap. It is another perfect item to transition your winter wardrobe into spring! Before it gets really warm you can wear it with jeans and later on it will be your go to on those questionable 60 degree days when you have no idea what to wear!
3) Nasty Gal:
Description:
On their website they describe themselves as “a global online destination for fashion-forward, free-thinking girls”. They have so many different styles and items to choose from but the predominant style is definitely ultra trendy. I love them for all of their super cute going out dresses and accessories.
Shipping:
Nasty Gal offers free shipping on US orders over $75. Nasty Gal items are only available online!
My Favorite Spring Item:
Nasty Gal Cassie Dress $48
Nothing says spring like finally being able to wear a dress downtown without freezing to death. This is a perfect dress to celebrate with! The color is perfect for spring and I love the off the shoulder sleeves! This dress would also be perfect to wear to your Spring Semester Date Party, that is if your bold enough to break the LBD trend!
