Fashion Blog » Hot Sites

Online shopping has really improved my outlook on the holidays. Remember when you used to have to go to the mall and fight your way through the crowds to find something for everyone on your list? Well, who needs that? Now, my shopping takes a few hours instead of days…and nobody gets hurt.

This year, one of my fave sites to make everybody I know squeal with delight is 80sTees.com. They have lots and lots of funny and cute shirts–it’s one of those something-to-please-everyone places. I mean, where else can you nab an “I Heart Jake Ryan” or a Monchhichi shirt? They also have fun 80s and non-80s movie, cartoon, tv shows, superheroes, and brand icon tees. I think I might need the “Flux Capacitor” shirt to wear with my orange puffer vest. Ah, the irony.

They also carry sizes from small to 3XL, which is good because my family and friends come in all shapes and sizes. Here are some of my top picks (they all range between $20-25):

And for me, you ask? Well, I’ll be grabbing this “FRA-GEE-LAY” ornament for myself:

At $8.00 bucks, it’s a scandalous steal.

I’m the queen of waiting for sales because there’s nothing I hate more than buying something only to find out that its price got a lot nicer after I dished out real dough. So, I often wait for price reductions, but it’s a tough task to keep up with all the sales, and sometimes real gems slip down the drain into fashion oblivion. That’s why I was excited to hear about SavvyCircle, a site that alerts users when a favorite item hits the sales rack.

I tried it out, and it was pretty easy–you just join and download a plugin. Then, whenever you’re shopping on one of the sites Savvy Circle works with (including Shopbop, Target, Ron Herman, Sephora, Urban Outfitters, JCrew, Zappos and lots more), and you see something you like, you just press a little icon and it’s added to a watch list. As soon as that favorited dress, sweater or pair of shoes goes on sale, you’re the first to know about it. I put this sweet little honey of a jacket from J.Crew on my Savvy Circle list (fingers crossed).

Tactical shopping made easier. I love it.

Tired of people wearing bad denim? Who isn’t?  Well, now there’s a forum for you to register your distaste.  RateMyDenim.com was introduced on one of my favorite sites, Denimology, today. It’s a fun new site where you can vote on how bad or good a featured jean-wearer is and, if your so inclined (and brave!) you can even upload your own photo for an appraisal.  I don’t think I’m quite their yet, but it’s pretty fun to be on the other side.
