I have to admit, for as much as I like to shop, I hate malls. The parking, the surplus of people, it's just not the most relaxing way to spend a Sunday. Or Wednesday lunch hour. Whatever.
This is why I must admit I adore this website called Shop It To Me. To sign up, you get to pick all your favorite brands and designers, what items you tend to buy most (i.e., shoes v. panties, purses v. dresses, etc), and your sizes. Then, at a frequency determined by you alone, they send you a personalized email with all the items you love that are on sale in your size.
How else would I have scored a olive green velvet jacket from J. Crew for only $40!
Now, I cannot afford brands like the afore mentioned Marc Jacobs, but Shop It To Me allows me that additional bit of shopping porn--the thought that I might actually could.
In addition, you can log on anytime and see what sales you are having, without having to wait for an email!
A few warnings, though--check the return policy from the site which your buying. Although I love online shopping, we all know it can be a little dicey in the fit-and-feel department, so make sure you're able to return something you're not 100% sure about.
Other than that, please feel free to shop it forward (get it? Like that Helen Hunt movie "Pay it Forward" with the creepy kid from "Sixth Sense"? But shopping. I slay me).
