The best places to shop online for the holidays

Category : Uncategorized

Its time to make your Christmas shopping list, while there is still time to check it twice. Can you believe that store windows are already decorated for Christmas? So before we get all caught up in the Christmas season shopping fiasco, lets put a plan in action.

Here are some of my best places to shop online. This is in no way an exhaustive list, its more like the ones that popped up in my mind right away. You’ll can thank me later for avoiding the Christmas rush and in-store crowds. Lets get everyone on your list something nice, whether they’ve been naughty or nice.

ONLINE RETAILERS- PLACES TO SHOP FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR EVERYBODY

fred flare – you remember that hamburger phone from Juno? Yea, i’m sure you do. well they have it. how cutes that!

etsy – because they have so many handmade one of a kind pieces that can really warm the heart. I love etsy!

ebay – for anything in particular that that you’d like at a cheaper price or for those rare items you cant find anywhere else.

forever 21 - you know for that someone who still thinks she’ll always be 21. Give in, and get her all that trendy stuff you don’t like.

overstock – housewares abound here for the home-y kind who love to throw a dinner party or have people over. they have a stock of choices/brands that are less expensive than in the store.

amazon – have you ever checked the shoe section, Ok I might be wrong but its the BEST place to find top brands and styles at cheap prices!

net-a-porter – because all year we window shop on it, its about time we get ourselves something nice we’ve been eying all year? you deserve it.

asos – because they, like Topshop, ship to the USA, and their products are really amazingly refreshingly inexpensive and eclectic.

Cute Etsy Find : LaOtra Vintage

Category : toocute

I found this “cute” etsy store last night online while surfing the net at 2AM.

Long story; I woke up to feed my baby and couldn’t seem to get back to sleep – it was just one of those nights where my mind was just wondering all over the place.

Alas I headed over to one of my favorite design blogs, which by the way has a new awesome look, Decor8 for some late night inspiration. While reading I had clicked through a link that led me to the FredFlare site, which I had totally forgotten about, but is one of those online retailers that you’d love to window surf because of all the fun stuff. You know like that hamburger phone from Juno.

Anyways this is how I onto Etsy.com, can’t quite remember how I got there, but you know these things go, but boy was I glad to find this LaOtra store! Really pristine vintage dresses and tops, for cheap! I’m also seduced by the little stories she writes up to go along as product description. they are so different, poetic and romantic!

I would like to do an Etsy feature now at least once a week on the blog, because of all the good stuff I found, that I know you’d love too.
So lets kick off the first of many good finds with the little etsy shop by LaOtra. Here’s some of her stuff.

I give her 4 TOOCUTE’s.
