Retail is in a bit of disarray in Oz and it may have much to do with shopping sites. The dollar has been awesome so shopping overseas makes sense. I mean I know that having the tangible product in front of you is an easier sell but with free delivery and easy return it is increasingly more popular than lugging around a large shopping centre.
Some of my friends are still a little wary of trusting the sites, but I have to vouch for a few of them. I too once thought it was all a little complicated but with tracking devices and quick correspondence it's easy as pie.
www.shopbop.com is one I look at every day. Dare to dream! You can create a wish list of all you desire which even notifies you when the inventory is getting low. I have been sucked in when they say there is only one left in my size, so I just HAVE to get it. Right? It's an easy site to navigate and they have millions of fabulous designers to pleasurably peruse.
Below are some other sites I just have to share with you. Happy shopping!
