Online Shopping

2 words. Online Shopping. The greatest invention in the history of the internet and shopping. 

So today I was taking a break from doing assignments and decided that a little bit of online shopping wouldn't hurt. Ohhh how I was wrong. At the moment I am saving every cent I earn so that while I am in Europe I won't have to worry about running out of money. So deciding to 'window shop' online was a big mistake. I ended up buying 3 pairs of sunglasses, a necklace, 2 dresses, a skirt and a pair of heels. Needless to say I am now feeling a little uneasy about my purchases. The 3 pairs of sunglasses were purchased off eBay for a total of $10, so I scored a bargain there. The necklace is from Forever New at $20, both dresses were from Miss Guided, one was $29.95 and the other was $15.60 and the skirt and heels were from Little Lace. The skirt was $55 and the heels were $30. I have this one rule when I shop now that I am on a budget and that is that I can only buy from the 'sale' section, it kind of makes it ok then. After my online shopping spree I then decided what a great post this would make. To share with you all my favourite online shops. So below I will include the name of the store, their website and I will create a scale of price range. Some of the shops I list will also have stores you can actually visit but very few have stores in Brisbane which is why I stick to online.

My favourite Online Shopping
ASOS - $$ - Free Shipping to Australia - No Minimum Spend
Topshop - $$ - Shipping is £9.00 (AUD$14)
Zara - $$-$$$ - Zara is more of a guilty pleasure as they only have stores in Sydney and Melbourne in Australia and don't offer deliveries for Australia yet. So unfortunately I have to miss out. One of the downsides of living in Brisbane. 
A Boy Named Sue - $$$-$$$$ - Free Standard International Shipping - No Minimum Spend
Little Lace - $$-$$$ - Free Shipping on all orders $150 and over - $10 shipping for orders under $150
Beginning Boutique - $$ - Free Express Postage in Australia
Lucy in the Sky - $$ - Free Domestic shipping on orders $20 or over
Miss Guided - $-$$ - Free Shipping to Australia - Express $10
BooHoo - $-$$ - Free Shipping to Australia
LaLa Bazaar - $$-$$$ - Free Shipping across Australia
Forever New - $$-$$$ - Free Delivery Australia and NZ wide
The Iconic - $$-$$$ - Free Overnight Shipping on all orders over $20 - Australia Wide
Liberty London - $$$$ - International Delivery Flat Rate of £25.00 (AUD$39) 
Princess Polly -$$-$$$ - Free Delivery across Australia 

*Price Scale: $ = Bargin, $$ = Reasonable/Average, $$$ = Expensive, $$$$ = Splurge
