NEW ARRIVALS

I love internet shopping.


Despite what Prince may say about the internet being dead (HA) I am among the bajillions who think he's full of shit. Becoming a Jehovah's Witness must require the removal of several brain lobes. Why do that when we have vodka?


(I think it's funny that the man who obsessively guards his copyright by removing nonsactioned "sharing" of his works on the internet is declaring the WWW "dead". Don't you?)


Anyways, one of the greatest uses of the 'net is SHOPPING. As a fashion blogger, I'm contracturally obligated to say that. As a shopaholic, it's all truth. Put me on the stand, I'll swear to it!


I love how easy it is. Hello! With a click of the mouse, I can see what the company is offering in clothing, jewelry, handbags, shoes, etc. Remember the old days when you had to go to each store and hunt through the racks? Or, holy cow, go to the MALL? Ah, those were the days.


Sometimes, going through that whole dance can be fun, and if you get lucky you'll find some deals. I prefer going to my inbox, getting discount codes and then shopping my little brains out.


That being said... Darlings, if you haven't checked out Threadsence yet, DO IT. I only discovered them from the wonderful Tiffany at I Am Style-ish, and their clothing and jewelry are to die for. Especially their rings. Oh, they are GORGEOUS.


LuLu*s is a great trendy and unique store. There are so many cute things that it's kind of amazing my head doesn't explode. My favorite in the New Arrivals is the Fun and Games romper. Because of the peplum skirts, I'm not sure how that would translate on curvy girls, but I'm thinking the worst it could do is make the hips hippier and the waist teenier.


anthropologie has a great shit-ton of pretty, whimsical designs. Sometimes, when I'm browsing their site, I just want to roll around naked on their jackets and dresses. That pretty. Um... oh boy. My picks are the Blushing Avian blouse, From-the-Poles jacket, and Hello Sunday blazer.

If you haven't heard of Brooklyn Industries, you need to keep an eye on them. They have been expanding outside New York and holy shit they have amazing pieces. One of my girlfriends works at the newly opened Boston location. So, Bostonians, if you drop by, ask for Jess and say Ri sent you. My pick: Printed Bryce dress in Mosaic.


I saved my favorite for last: Urban Outfitters. I don't usually shop there unless I'm in Miami or drunk shopping, and not because I don't like the store. I've gotten some AMAZING deals there, but I've had some unsavory run-ins at the Orlando store which ruins it for me a little. But that is neither here nor there. My picks: KNT by Kova & T Open-Back Peplum top, and Flight of the Conchords Eat Sleep Folk Boyfriend tee.


(Flight of the Conchords! OMFG BRETJERMAINE I LOVE YOU.)


Happy shopping!
