Ask your good friend, a global trotter – that is, me – on how to keep up with affordable international fashion. How to shop so that there is a bit of “European” flavor in your outfit? Turn to the daily feeds, updates and offers from the global online fashion shops moguls that know the prices we can afford and the clothing we want to wear today. Moreover, we don't even have to leave the house (although, the actual shopping in person is very therapeutic for me, personally, but even then, those sites below are as close as I could get to a shopaholic experience as it was ever possible for a girl got her first credit card last year.)
And gentlemen, there is something for you in this article as well - not only you get to see what your ladies are shopping for, but you could also participate in the visa and master cards online processing 'operation,' which is called - "My gift to you on the International Women's Day," which is actually celebrated around the world on March 8, but not as much in USA. Again, you dont' have to use any excuses to spoil your girls a bit.
For ‘modest memento”
New Look - can't go wrong with one of the British favorites.
Cos is now available at fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) that has introduced new high-end label called COS (Collection of Style), with the first store opened on London’s Regent Street on Friday. Ten other shops are scheduled to open across the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium this year. All we have to do is to wait for American H&Ms to take an example of their British fashion-forwarders.
Uniglo - new-style Japanese firm that makes casual wear cloths.
Next - latest fashion for women, men and children.
River Island - high-street casual wear retailer provides a list of the shops and details of current fashion lines and prices.
Marks & Spencer - another British favorite.
Dorothy Perkins - has a great collection of affordable, feminine fashion updated daily.
Miss Selfridge - brings you vintage-inspired style for fashion aware women. With free returns and many new lines added daily.
And my personal favorites, much used and completely satisfied with
TopShop - with 300 new styles added each week, TOPSHOP.COM is jam packed with all the latest styles. Check out their collections and latest designer collaborations online.
ASOS - not only they have cute and very trendy designs, they also have sales that even local retailers cannot compete with. And their international shipping is fast and weatherproof - their mailing bags have handlers, like a real shopping bag.
For ‘extravagant buzz trends,’ that is if you were good enough with your personal finances last year
Arrogant Cat - sassy and sexy two words which best describe Arrogant Cat.
Kate Kuba - is the destination for exquisite footwear. The brands ethos is to sell unquestionable style as well as beautiful shoes.
Kova & T - a favorite of Hollywood babes and New York hippie fashionistas (think, Olsen twins); not one, but a few of the celebrities, such as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Mischa Barton wore their Oxy Leggings.
The founders of Top Shop have predicted the store’s soaring success. It’s a hit because it’s aimed at a section of society largely ignored by too-cool and too-trendy designers – girls and women with modest financial means. While we’d all love to dress in Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs, majority of us can’t afford this luxury, so we opt for the closest-we-can-get-to-latest-fashion-trends replicas, such as Zara, H&M and Express (in U.S.A., that is.)
Now, those pricey designers have learned what we neither want to look generic, nor spend all our savings on a pricey clothing piece. Let’s hope that the rest will follow Michael Kors, Isaac Mizrahi for Target, and Vera Wang .
New Yorkers, on the other hand, are lucky devils – they get to shop sample sales, which happen less often in other parts of the country. Unless I don’t know, in which case – please, tell me about them!
