Coming to America: ASOS

About a few weeks ago, my friend asked me if I have ever heard of Asos.com. I get pretty embarrassed when people ask me about fashion news and I look at them with a blank stare. In case you haven't noticed, I am behind on my retail knowledge. I just got my Lucky magazine in the mail and was flipping through it and saw a brief article on Asos. Now I was curious. I just browsed the website, and I really wish I was completely clueless about this website because now I think there will be some damage on my plastic--horrible, especially when you're trying to save money!

Asos.com is the UK's largest independent retailer, which features designer labels as well as their own private label--all at a pretty affordable cost. I can guarantee that I will spend countless hours searching for new clothes to add to my already limited closet space. 

Too good to be true?! Nope! Only $38!

Sale Alert: Neiman Marcus Last Call: Up to 65% off!

Every girl loves a good sale--even better, I love brand named things that are on sale! I was browsing online and came across the Neiman Marcus Last Call Sale. I know some of you may think that Neiman Marcus is incredibly expensive, but during their last call sales, their prices can be cheaper than Nordstroms and other department stores. For example, I remember wanting this Marc Jacobs jacket. At Macys, it was on sale for $200, but at Neimans, it was going for $150. So a good shopper will always check everywhere and buy it for the cheapest price possible. Below are some of the items that I particularly liked; however, there aren't that many sizes left, so hurry while it lasts! To shop the last call clearance, click here!

Kitson Boutique: Online Sale up to 70% off!

Kitson, a boutique on Robertson Blvd. in LA, has become a celebrity hot spot over the years. I have only heard about this store in the tabloids, with celebs such as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Courteney Cox coming out of the store carrying an infinite number of shopping bags. While I was briefly living in LA, I knew I had to visit Kitson and see why celebs were so crazy about it. They had their regular apparel (jeans, t-shirts, dresses, shoes, bags), but I was surprised to see that they had home furnishings such as candles and pillows too. There were definitely things that were really expensive, but there are accessories, tees, and shoes that are within an affordable price range. Even though I left the store empty-handed, I still check back their website to look for sales. Upon checking their website today, I was flabbergasted to find out that Kitson is having a sale with merchandise up to 70% off! To check out the complete sale, click here.
