Help! I’m trying to expand my shopping horizon and try online shopping, but there don’t seem to be many places that ship to Canada, that don’t already exist in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto. If anyone knows any good online shops that I should check out, please let me know.

I’m very short and tiny and most places close don’t fit me very well. What are some good stores (online or not) that you guys would recommend??

Well i don’t exactly live in the biggest city, so i love to online shop, and i would love to find out some of your favorite places to get great deal’s and pieces,

thanks

I like Nasty Gal but clothes there are so expensive. Very often I'll see something sold there for twice the price of another smaller boutique. Is there another store like Nasty Gal but cheaper?

Your Favorite Store To Buy Women Woolen Clothes

Do you guys know of any stores/brands that sell women's band t-shirts? (Like Chaser)

PS: Preferably affordable ones :p

the title says it all!

I’ll go first —>BEBE!

Hey girls! Share your favorite online store!
I like
http://www.shopruche.com/
http://www.sottoboutique.com/
http://www.forever21.com/
sometimes I like browsing in eBay and etsy too ;)
Please share yours! :D

Know of any websites similar to those listed in the title? I already know about:

lulus.com
gojane.com
cutesygirl.com
pinkice.com
yesstyle.com

anybody know anymore? hopefully some that are more affordable than yesstyle or urban outfitters, or lulus, please & thanks :)

Shipping fees are usually so expensive to New Zealand :’(
Do you guys know of any online shops with free/cheap shipping? – Preferably with reasonably priced items too.
The only few I know are ASOS and Romwe.

Thanks!

i’ve searched this up on google but i just tend to get stores like forever 21 or urban outfitters or any stores that you can find in the mall with “cute/in style” clothes. does anyone know of any stores that are like modcloth with the whole vintage look besides sellers on etsy and ebay and thrift stores?

:)

If any of you guys know any fair trade or ideal online shops, post them here! So far, I got Etsy.com.

Like many of you, I’m sure, I went nuts over MKA’s platform heels at their book signing. I don’t have a decent pair of black pumps to begin with, and these seem like a great way to deal with my vertical challenge (I’m 5’2") and make my legs look leaner. However, I can’t seem to find any that are not over 4"—I’ve never walked in anything that high and hate stilettos. I’ve scoured Zappos, ShopStyle, etc., and I don’t have many places to physically shop seeing as I live in podunk Florida. Help a sister out? Where do you think I can find the best? Relate your experiences walking in them if you have some! Thanks!

link it

why dont we get a list started of our favorite places to shop from home!

..

Please help me find one!

I have found this amazing online vintage inspired brand and i jujst had to share it with everyone. The cloths are amazing quaility, very fun, flirty and vintage. They ship most places. You should definitely have a look.

I want to look cute for a costume party without breaking the bank

I was shopping around on Etsy for some festival jewelry, and found a bunch of really beautiful pieces. Before I make any purchases, however, I wanted to ask all of you if you know of any really amazing Etsy shops that I should check out! I want to see all of my options and love discovering new shops. 

Thanks! 

Hi, does anybody know a good place to buy inexpensive scarves that aren’t too scratchy? My budget is from $5 to $15, but most of the places I’ve looked at range from more like $30 too $60. I mean, scarves are just pretty pieces of fabric, right? Why are they so expensive?!

It’s no secret that Lana Del Rey is talented and beautiful, so we are telling you some of her other star

qualities that makes her this week’s #womancrushwednesday here at Lela Pearce Swimwear.

1. Her style is TO DIE for. I mean, that Altuzzara ensemble worn for the 2012 MET Gala? In love!

2. Serious hair envy. #enoughsaid

3. She got to record music for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, making the movie that much

more swoon worthy.

4. Lana is no basic! Girl has lived through some serious hardships, making her that much more

strong as a person and songwriter.

5. She is an old soul (and we love that about her!).

6. She epitomizes the Lela Pearce girl with her vintage, yet glam persona and those beautiful full lips!

#girlcrush

7. Her husky, warm, honey-like voice is music to our ears.

8. She has self-proclaimed herself as being a “self-styled gangsta Nancy Sinatra” and “Lolita lost in

the hood.”

9. She overcame addiction and alcohol abuse.

10. Her real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, but she came up with the stage name Lana Del Rey

so that her name would be something that “was as beautiful as the music I was going to make.”

We love you Lana Del Rey! You’ve found a lifelong fan in Lela Pearce Swimwear!

Here’s where you can share what your first designer handbag was that you purchased!

Mine’s was… a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. Still use it sometimes!

I can't figure out who designs the white shoes shown here. They look like Jeffrey Campbells but I can't find anything like it. Chatted with UO and they said they don't carry the shoes and they didn't know who they were by either. Help!

I've gotten emails from LuLu's and their clothes are cute and cheap. Is the quaility of the clothing any good? Can someone who shops there/has shopped there let me know?

Thanks

So summer is coming up (Northern Hemisphere)!  Do you guys have any summer wishlists for clothes?  Bathing suits?  Sandals?  Whatever it is, share!
