Online shopping guide

Getting the hottest and trendiest duds and accessories online has never been easier!

By Lara Mai Landa

Feeling the call of the mall but still in the throes of those post-holiday budget blues? Rest assured, with the Canadian dollar still going strong, there's no need to go into retail withdrawal, especially when it comes to shopping south of the border. But who wants to deal with long lines and cranky customs agents when the internet is a haven for some serious deals?

HANDBAG HEAVEN:

If you're wary of buying clothing online because of sizing issues, handbags may very well be fashion's greatest equalizer, mattering not whether you're thin or fat, short or tall. Yet Canadians have never had access to the range of bags available in the US, not to mention those deep discounts. Thankfully, online shopping has helped level the playing field.

Offering thousands of brand name labels, free shipping to Canada with no minimum purchase, and an impressive sale section, Revolve Clothing is a fashionista's dream come true. Be sure to check out their Style Blog for the best looks of the season as well as their seasonal Style Guide brought to you by a revolving roster of celebrity stylists such as Rachel Zoe and Jessica Paster.

For fashion fresh off the runways, Net-a-Porter is your one-stop shopping solution for nabbing the most coveted designer handbags of the season. Offering great sales and a well edited range of brands, N-A-P also adds customs fees into the price so there are no surprises when your package arrives.
