Outlet malls, end-of-season sales, and the good ole clearance rack are all fine and dandy, but for a REALLY amazing bargain, you can’t beat thrift stores. Now, unless you’re a seasoned pro who has meandered through the aisles of Goodwill and Salvation Army to find that barely used Theory skirt for under $10 bucks, thrift stores can be intimidating. With the unorganized racks, lack of sizes, and sometimes (okay, most of the times) musty smell, thrift stores can be tough to navigate, but trust us, it’s so worth it when you find that prize top that costs less than a pack of Juicy Fruit. We’ve written about thrifting in the past, but we’ve got 7 more tips on how to thrift shop.

Shopbop came into the e-commerce game early on, and continues to grow, because they nailed the success formula. The online store provides access to countless designers and favorites at your finger tips and develops designer relations to offer shoppers exclusives available only through their site.
Shopbop divides its offerings into as detailed of mini-sections as possible. For bags alone you can shop by designer, by color, by size, by shape or by trend. You could say it’s a site for serious shoppers, because believe us, if you’re just browsing through each individual section you can (willingly) get sucked into the site for days. Free returns and free 3-day shipping doesn’t hurt their rep either.
