The Great Eight: the best of online shopping

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

 

 

The holiday season is here! I have dubbed myself the year round internet shopping queen and am here to provide you with a list of amazing websites to help you shop for every lady on your list or just for you. I mean…you’ve been good this year, maybe not, but reward yourself anyways.

First up is www.Stitchfix.com  This is a pretty cool idea for a clothing website. It kind of mirrors sites like ShoeDazzle or JustFab but has much more than just shoes, jewelry and handbags to offer. So how it works is you fill out a style profile (this may be better for one of those Christmas gifts you give yourself if you don’t know the receiver well enough) Stitchfix will then match you up with your style, size, and budget and hook you up with a 5 piece outfit, accessories included. It ships on the shipment date of your choice. After you try on the 5 pieces in your box, you can choose to keep them all or just one! If you keep them all you get 25% off of your purchase. If not, just send them back with the pre-paid shipping fee! This is perfect for the person who loves fashion as well as those who struggle putting together the perfect outfit.

Next, www.jewelmint.com and www.stylemint.com These two websites are similar to each other and run off the same concept as Stitchfix. Fill out a style profile, equipped with your budget and sizes and receive great quality fashion pieces for 29.99. Many of these pieces are inspired by the runway and the most fashionable celebs. I think anyone would love to look a little like Beyonce this season.

www.jossandmain.com is a website I stumbled upon while looking for new sheets. (Not only am I obviously old, but I’m also turning into my mother by the minute, dammit) Whatever, this website is awesome. It has tons of cute home décor for a huge discount price. What’s not to love! Anything on this site would make a great gift for friends getting new apartments and empty-nest mother’s coping by renovating the entire house (hey mom, that’s shout out #2 to you). What is even better, the lovely cousin to this website, www.hautelook.com. As jossandmain.com is mostly focused on home décor, hautelook.com takes care of all your fashion needs, again for great discount prices. YES.

Lastly, three clothing websites that are relatively inexpensive and have cute clothing and jewelry everyone will love. www.tobi.com, www.lulus.com, www.gojane.com . My friends and I have ordered off of all three and really love them. The clothing is true to size and pretty good quality, shipping is on time, and it is very affordable.

SHOP ON.
