Run-of-the-mill department stores are great go-tos for style essentials and fashion emergencies, but to quench our thirst for distinctive designs that not everyone has, the shopaholics in our office and online community turn to lesser-known online stores. We love discovering goodies that are OTT, standout, wacky, or just good old stylish. Here are five of our favorite places to point and click:
Shopbop
($89)
Shopbop is like your favorite neighborhood boutique…if that boutique were as big as a department store and you didn't have to leave your house to get there. From shoes, bags, jewelry, and other accessories to jeans and sweats to work clothes and even evening gowns, Shopbop has a huge selection from dozens of designers, just waiting to be shipped straight to your door.
Plasticland
($36)
Plasticland is our go-to boutique for fun and funky clothing, accessories, gifts, and home decor items from independent designers, with an emphasis on retro, mod, vintage, punk, and rockabilly styles.
ModCloth
($104)
ModCloth has an affordable mix of unique vintage pieces and indie designer originals. With a selection that ranges from classic basics to OTT trends, you're bound to find something that fits your style and needs. Not only do they carry cute clothes for every occasion, awesome accessories, and sweet home accents, they've created a wonderful shopping experience with a blog, fun and detailed product descriptions, and guilt-free prices.
Fred Flare
($8)
Find all things cute, playful, and otherwise awesome for your home and person-at dirt-cheap prices- at Fred Flare. Based in NYC, their shop is updated with whimsical (and notably youthful) fashions, home accessories, and totally pointless but entirely captivating trinkets each week. This arrow ring is a great example of the perfect blend of cute and quirkiness that is Fred Flare. Browse more awesome finds from Fred Flare!
Stars and Infinite Darkness
($93)
Browsing the eclectic selection at Stars and Infinite Darkness is a lesson in what's hot and trendy right now. Even better, the site sells original styles from young independent designers-many of which cannot be found anywhere else-so you'll know you'll stand out.
