Mum!! bring me the TV remote!!!


I'm a lazy person.
Seriously, I am. But I'm also a very imaginative person. So what happens when a very creative lazy bum goes out for some shopping? What happens to me ( particularly when my budged is avarage and I have to go for High street fashion) is that I get bored; I don't find anything I like (or better, anything I'd imagine) and I would end wasting my money on something frivolous and completely unnecessary.

Living in the United Kingdom for a year, has definitely change my attitude. I mean, I'm lazy ,maybe even more, but I've started embracing on-line shopping. From grocery to new garments, shopping on the internet has seriously influenced the way I shop and it has affected my debit card bill as well. What do I like about it? It's fast, I can do it from my sofa while I'm drinking my yorkshire tea and eating my hand made butter biscuits. But most of all I can do it even when I'm in a bad mood, I don't feel like going out and spend hours in the dressing rooms sweating because of the the ridicolous lighting of some shops. Below you'll find brief descriptions of my three favourite on line stores.

Urban Outfitters
Not that cheap for a high street fashion retailer, Urban Outfitters is nothing but Cool. A selection of the coolest brands that would satisfy anyone, from preppry boys to indie girls. The paradox of UO.co.uk is that the extreme variety of the brands can be tricky for what concerne size charts. Indeed every brand have a different wearability and to be surprised by a size L that fits like a size M might be slightly annoying.

Asos
Probably the one with the best customer service, but in all fairness I'm not a big a fan of asos branded clothes, as I'm not very keen on wearing their fabrics. But I do like their shoes, they are very cheap and unique, and they don't look second hand like some TOPMAN/TOPSHOP ones. Furthermore ASOS has the best sales ever and a wonderful outlet section where to can find designer stuff for a reduced price. A funny thing about Asos is that they seem to have a predilection for my close friend Yara, her orders arrive always before mine!


TOPSHOP/TOPMAN
My favourite one (I'm about to buy something tomorrow) and maybe the keenest to my personal style, TOPMAN has an astonishing selection of pieces of clothing. The balance between the quality, the variety, the “up-to-date-ness” is something that just gives a slimy spit in H&M's face. (I'm sorry but I couldn't have used other words).

Je suis fatiguée .... Je ne vais pas écrire plus ... vous allez acheter des trucs!
