The holidays call for a lot of shopping, so why travel to any mall when you can find the perfect little black dress while sitting in your home in the comfort of your slippers? Here at HerCampus UMaine, we know the winter weather and crowds can put a damper on even the most determined shopper, so we have created a comprehensive list of online shopping hot spots to satisfy and consolidate all your fashion needs this holiday!
All-Around Best:
Top Shop and Miss Selfridge are great online stores for trendy items. Updated daily, you can find the to-die-for fringe purse you saw in your favorite magazine just last week. These sites are every fashionistas go to for key pieces for any style or wardrobe.
If a holiday or New Years Eve dress is all you are looking for, I highly recommend Asos. They also update frequently and offer plenty of options of glitzy body-cons perfect to ring in the new year!
Whether you are seeking quirky and unique gifts, retro inspired dresses, or on-trend boots, ModCloth is another site you must check out this holiday season.

Steals & Deals:
Go Jane and LuLus are other awesome options, offering some similar items as Forever 21 but also many others. One great thing I have found about these two sites is that they really keep up with trends found on Top Shop and others of the sort, but aim to offer it at a far more affordable price.
Somewhat of a given for steals and deals is definitely H&M, but you may ask why it made it on to our ‘online shopping list’. Word on the web is that H&M will open their online site for buying to U.S. shoppers at the turn of the new year! Hold on to your Christmas money to spend on some classic staples from H&M.

Members Only:
I am the type of person that when a site asks me to give my email address to gain access, I RUN. I quickly hit a button to another page and never look back. Why all the hassle when no other sites hassle me to waste my time? Trust me on this one collegiettes, this short list of sites are worth it and I wouldn’t recommend it if they weren’t truly this great.
Prive is one membership site I have stumbled upon unlike any other I’ve been coaxed into joining. You can opt out of email notifications, do not have to buy an item every month, and can earn actual credits towards your own basket with every member you get to join! Not to mention, their Sunday Select and daily sales you can’t miss. Imagine trendy, designer pieces available for incredible prices. Doesn’t get much better!

Boho Style:
These past couple seasons have been stapled with bohemian, vintage inspired pieces and it doesn’t seem to let up. This boho style deserves its own online shopping category because it is such a large presence in what is in style today. Threadsence, Shop Ruche, and Alternative Apparel are all equally great for your one stop shop of everything boho inspired.

Shoe craving:
For the shoe-obsessed, UrbanOG is the site for affordable, trendy shoes. I find that they often have the same shoes available else where, but they are able to offer for far less and in an array of colors and sizes.
