Online shopping is so convenient. I can’t wait until all my favourite stores go online. I love the fact that everything is accessible with just a few clicks and things just show up at your door. Before I make a purchase online, I usually check to see if there are any discount codes available.  I love shopping online because items are usually priced lower than store-front locations. And if they’re not, they’re cheaper somewhere else. When it comes to shopping online I find that clothes are hardest thing to shop for because of sizing. I usually try things on at the store (if possible) and then I would check online to see if it can be purchased at a lower price point. One thing that I love doing is shopping for accessories. Shoes, bags, scarves, jewelry…you name it!

There are many sites out there offering discount codes but I like savings.com because of the variety. This site carries free online coupons from many brands and stores.  I think that this site carries mostly American brands but a lot of places ship to Canada and internationally. I usually visit the fashion section and beauty section for discounts. I wish that more places shipped to Canada. I have family and friends in the States so I usually send my purchases to them whenever the store that I shop from only ships in the States. Also the additional discount helps especially if you have to pay for the shipping cost. I cannot wait until companies start offering more free shipping offers.

Nicole Richie and Natalia Vodianova are both rocking the kimono look!

Give new life to an old robe that you have hanging in your closet by throwing it over a dress, a pair of jeans or wearing it with a belt of a different texture.

Places to scour for beautiful robes? Vintage shops and China Town
