Rewind: "Cry Me a River"



Rewind: Remember when Justin Timberlake first went solo and everyone told him he would never get further without his N'Sync buddies. I think this was the time when those haters realized he was here to stay. Look at JT now. He went from chic's crying him rivers to bringing "Sexy Back". Before there was Justin Bieber ladies there was Justin Timberlake.

Closet Secrets (Where I Like to Shop)

So I have a wee bit of shopping problem and anyone who’s seen my closet know this. Pretty soon I’m going to have to borrow closet space from my mom (who would love it because we’re almost the same size and we swap clothing when necessary).  Every time I go out in something new I always get the question, “Where did you get that?” and I say “Online”. So today, I’ve decided to share some of my closet secrets. Most of my shopping is done online thanks to my laziness and lack of driver’s license. I actually prefer to shop in the store but who am I to pass up a good sale if it’s happening online? A lot of people don’t know this but you can get the designer look without the designer price tag on a lot of good quality sites.
Some awesome sites to snag some great finds
With prices like this dress for $9.99 Amiclubwear might be the best price but watch out for Shipping Ladies

Pros:  My first online clothing purchase was from AMIClubwear about four years ago and I visit them quite often.  They hold a contest twice a week giving Facebook fans the opportunity to win a $50 gift certificate to their site. I was that winner and it’s been bliss ever since.  Their prices are cheap, their shoes are sweet and  if you’re looking for a club dress this is the place to be.  They also almost always have a sale going on.
Cons:  They’re standard shipping is a little long, and their site isn’t up to par with other sites I’ve stumbled upon since my first purchase. 
Tropical $16 Forever21 dress screams Spring


Pros: Nice prices, nice quality, great site navigation, good customer service and quick standard shipping
Cons: I haven’t found one yet when I do I’ll let you know. I hear they’re return policy is a nightmare but I’ve never had to experience that yet.

$19 Bodycon dress from Charlotte Russe


Pros: Quick standard shipping,  lovely site and sales
Cons: None
$21 Coloblock tank dress from GoJane=so retro

Pros: Everything you can possibly think of these gals have. GoJane is my favorite place to shop especially when they have a sale. Their standard shipping is great, their quality is great and their shoes are amazing.  I’ve purchased many things from GoJane.  They also offer a Shoe of the Day Giveaway to their Facebook fans every week and if you join their mailing list they send you a coupon on your birthday. How’s that for keeping you happy?
Cons: There are none and they have fabulous customer service

$18 Dress from Make Me Chic in Coral Red makes any look pop


I haven’t shopped here yet but I can see it in my near future. I recently just discovered this site and they have nice prices and also offer a Shoe of The Day Giveaway on Facebook to their lovely fans

Claires is no longer the go to place for accessories for young girls. This heard necklace is  $14.50 and could be the staple for your outfit

Pros:  I've liked Claires since I was a kid they're online shopping site is kind of new and maybe one day they'll get it down to a Science. Nice clearance section for accessories and other stuff, nice prices and I love their clip on earrings. There's no many stores that still sell clips so I love it.
Cons: Takes a while to process your order which in turn makes their standard shipping a little slow

$16.95 Cat Attack Dress from Karmaloop will turn heads

Pros: A few years back I won a nice Married to the Mob prize pack from these guys and it was love ever since. Nice prices on a lot of urban designer wear,  quick shipping and wonderful quality
Cons: There are none this site is amazing

Laced Draped Dress from Nasty Gal for $23 is sure to make you the life of the party.


Pros: Great prices in their clearance section, nice site layout, quick shipping and wonderful quality. I can't wait to wear the dress I bought from these gals.
Cons:  Haven’t found any
These lovely Leopard printed Platform Sneaks are $68 at Dolls Kill


Haven’t shopped here yet but I love some of their standout pieces and their sale section is amazing

Unless you catch a sale which doesn't happen often in Betseyville, the most you'll get for $50 is a clutch
 
Pros:  Quick standard shipping, join their fanclub today and save 25% off your first purchase, also they have stellar customer service
Cons: They’re expensive, if you can avoid shopping Betsey Johnson items directly from Betsey Johnson please do so. Karmaloop has a lot of Betsey Johnson accessories and clothing cheaper than Betsey Johnson’ s prices. 

$20 Cold Shoulder Dress from DEB
 
I haven’t shopped online through them but I love their store. Most people think Debs is for plus sized women only and they're terribly wrong.  They have some wonderful online prices and for joining their fanclub you get to save a percentage off your first purchase. 

 Any places you love to shop online that I haven’t listed? Please share.
