Cheeky Takes You Shopping (Online)

by Jenny Muslin – March 10, 2010

When I’ve got time on my hands, I often check out my favorite blogs and websites to see what’s new in fashion land.

I’m a bit partial because it’s my sister’s blog, but I adore this website: iliveforit.blogspot.com.
Bloggers and B.F.F.s, Liza and Juliana, discuss the hottest styles, coolest models and latest fashion shows. Their dream outfits are created and posted via Polyvore. I always like to see what fabulous jewelry and clothing lines they’re into, as many of them are up-and-coming designers.

At first I couldn’t believe that a blog entirely devoted to a Texas teen’s amazing shoes and vintage finds could constitute accolades by numerous fashion magazines, but now I get it. Blogger, Jane, takes a funky vintage YSL jacket from her mom’s closet and finds a way to make it work perfectly with a dress from Forever 21. Her online vintage store offers awesome finds at great prices too!

Dreamed of owning a Chanel classic quilted bag or an Erickson Beamon statement necklace? Sign up to be a member of designersocial.com, a website completely devoted to designer handbags and accessories that are either gently used, former samples, or brand-new. Created by women who work in the fashion industry, this site is the ultimate designer trade space. As a bonus, sell your own lightly used designer pieces to the site and earn credit towards a future purchase. Items are certified authentic and if you’re unhappy with your purchase, you can return it for a full refund. Items sell quickly so if you see something you fall in love with, grab it!

Malleries.com is a “multi-dealer online mall” that offers everything antique- from designer handbags to furniture. This site is like a super-upscale E-bay with more reputable sellers. You can search by designer name or by category to score amazing finds.

Clearly, I’m a sucker for vintage and I love finding unique pieces- those pieces that get people asking me “where did you get that?” Nasty Gal is a unique website that carries both new and vintage clothing lines. I love their retro sunglasses and super cute t-shirts. This site enables you to snag those trendy pieces that won’t break the bank and be sure to get you noticed (in a good way).

Finally, Shopbop.com is at last offering free return shipping, so if you don’t like what you ordered, you can send it back free of charge. This continues to be my favorite shopping website as it’s constantly updating its inventory and showcasing new designers.

Hopefully I’ve turned you on to a new site or two that inspires you as it does me. Good luck treasure hunting!
