To All The Online Stores I Have Shopped at During Class
As an avid shopper I have very much taken advantage of all the opportunities that online shopping brings forth. Never having to leave your bed to make a purchase is one of the best ways to make the most of the internet. I have written five letters to my favorite online stores as a way to show them the love that they deserve.

Dear Beloved,
Although my love for you began before I even had a computer of my own, you set the standard. Throughout my years I have gone to you in my time of need and you have rarely let me down. Even when I went to college and moved away from the Macy’s I had learn to call home, you still managed to give me a website that always had what I needed. To make things better, you made my mother a platinum card holder which gave us free shipping on all orders and still allowed us to use our numerous coupons. Thank you, Macy’s for being my first love and always having the Steve Madden shoes that I want on sale.
Love,

Dear Fashion Nova,
I first want to apologize for ever doubting you and for the times that I cursed your name when my sizes were sold out, and for that one tweet I sent out when I was angry. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am truly a “Nova Babe” at heart. With that said you deserve this letter because part of the world only thinks of you as a place to get good jeans and “Instagram Baddie outfits.” I know that you have so much more to offer, and I appreciate your range of sizes and models. Recently your website did undergo some necessary and major changes, which made it more user friendly, for which I am ever so grateful. On the other hand, I would love to challenge y’all to add in some models who are darker skinned and come from other diverse backgrounds. In terms of your clothes I appreciate the stretch of your jeans and your quickness with updating new styles. Fashion Nova thank you for continually setting me apart from the crowd and allowing me to use coupon codes that decrease my total by at least 30% every time. You are loved.

Dear Forever,
It is extremely unclear how you made it onto this list but I think it has to do with our toxic back-and-forth relationship. I often go onto your website and love the organization that is so different from the actual store persona, yet I am often not satisfied with my online purchases. Unfortunately, that does not stop me from shopping on your website. The love-hate relationship between me and you will probably go on forever but I have a good feeling that I will always come back, especially when I get email notifications about free shipping and other sales. Forever 21, no matter how much I say it, it’s probably not the end.
Love,

Dear Amazon,
Much like your service this letter will be quick. I appreciate your 2-day shipping and that you have one click buying options. I am grateful to have you in times when I am too lazy to go to the store, but know I need something sometime this week. I would however appreciate it if maybe you worked on the working conditions of your warehouses. Every time I put in an order I am saddened, you are my vice but you could be so much more than that.

Hello New Love,
Although I have only made one purchase from you so far, I know it will not be the last. I am thoroughly impressed with your options, colors, and extensive sizes. The two-piece set that I bought was extremely beautiful and made me stand out at the party that I attended. For that I am greatful and I cannot wait to go on many more shopping adventures together. I know it will not be long before I get to see you again, especially since I’m already eyeing three different dresses.
Sincerely,
Your Newest Fan
