So, who shall we start with?
1) Let's go with Shop Style - a site I stumbled across via Google.
What it does:
Shopstyle is like a search engine for fashion. You have a search box in the top corner, and when you type in the thing you're looking for (in my case, it was brogues) it brings you up a selection of products from different stores so you can pick your favourite.....or cheapest as is usually the case for me!
How it saves you money:
You might have an idea of the type of item you want to buy, but not have a specific brand in mind. With Shopstyle you can search out a few options and decide where you want to buy it from. I think it also includes items that are on sale.
2) BrandAlley is a site I only joined yesterday, but already I can see the benefits.
What it does:
There are several sites popping up that require you to "join" or "become a member." I've always been intrigued but until now I haven't bothered to fill in my details. You get exclusive access to sales and emails telling you what's coming up.
How it saves you money:
This website is about shopping for the things that you didn't know you needed......until you saw them at 60% off! It covers women's, men's, kids and home wares. Worth a weekly browse at least. Another site like this is Achica which I've also signed up for but that's more for interior design purposes...
3) Obviously, the best way to get online discounts is through a discount code website. My new favourite is, of course, Fashion Vouchers !
What it does:
You search the website for the online shop that you want to buy from and see if there is a current discount code available. Simples. There are many other sites doing this on some level but this is one of the few I've found that focus solely on fashion stores.
How it saves you money:
Well, I think I've already explained that! It gives you discount codes like 10% off or free delivery for use on your favourite websites.
4) The Outnet is the sister company of Net A Porter and a darn site cheaper!
What it does:
Designer. At sale prices. What's not to love? If I ever win the lottery, I would still want to feel like I was getting a bargain! Most of the things on this website are a bit pricey for me but if I wanted to treat myself then I'd go here. I've just seen a Marc Jacobs bracelet for £40. That's 55% off. So cute...
How it saves you money:
If you are someone who spends a lot on designer, then this is the site for you. It's a slightly less daunting way of owning a designer bag or a piece of designer jewellery. You can have all the famous names but at half the price (mostly.)
5) And lastly let's not forget Asos - one of the originals and one of the best. It started off life as a way of getting the celeb look at high street prices (hence "as seen on screen") but has now evolved to become a household name in its' right.
What it does:
Asos should be your "go to" for anything fashion and beauty related. They have all the latest trends, a fashion magazine, and also a place for customers to upload their outfits. It's like a one stop fashion haven.
How it saves you money:
It gives you choice, for example: you need some new shoes for a night out? Look no further. There will be hundreds to choose from, so pick the ones that have the best price tag attached! I've also seen some good discounts on big name brands like Models Own, River Island and Paul's Boutique. If you click Like on their Facebook page you will get updates on their "Sunday Sales" where you can save an extra bit of money in a different category each week.
Well, that's my personal round up! Do you use any of these sites? Please feel free to retweet this page or link your friends to it. If it's popular and I win the competition, Fashion Vouchers will give me £300 towards my blog!
I've been thinking up ways of spending it already.....
