08.10.2012- Monday Must-haves: Website Wonders

One of the things which I love about online shopping is how easy it is to discover new brands at the click of a button. Whilst I love the high street as much as the next girl, it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming- and I've learnt from experience that Oxford Street on a Saturday afternoon is an experience only the most hardened of shoppers can survive! I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, or because online shopping has become a lot easier, but sometimes the stress-free experience of clicking 'add to basket' is one which I much prefer to lugging lots of carrier bags around as I navigate my way around other shoppers. With this in mind, this week's must-haves is dedicated to some lovely pieces from a few of my favourite online shopping destinations:


Olive is an online boutique which I came across a few months ago, and since then I've been drawing up a wishlist as long as my arm of all the pretty pieces which they have in stock. As well as having a beautiful selection of printed dresses, they also offer a really gorgeous array of basics, and this trench coat is a particular favourite of mine at the moment. I love the relaxed shape, which I think offers a really current twist on an item which is such a classic, and the colour is the perfect transitional neutral. Olive also have an amazing selection of bags, and this mini grey design is adorable- something which would really work well alongside the rest of my autumn wardrobe! I've been a fan of Jovonna since my late teens, when I fell in love with most of their pieces after seeing them in the concessions section of Topshop on Oxford Street. A few years down the line, it's great to see that the brand has gone from strength to strength, and this star print blouse is a real favourite of mine- perfect for dressing up or down, with just the right amount of sparkle to (whisper it!) carry you through the festive season. Speaking of sparkle, have you ever seen a pair of shoes more perfect than these boots from ASOS? After spying them in their magazine last week, I've been keeping a beady eye on the website for them to arrive, and for £45 I think they're much better value than a lot of similar styles I've seen on the high street. (Also, a quick heads up- the ASOS sale started today, so there are lots of lovely bargains to be had!) This dress from Sugarhill Boutique is another piece which I'm sure I'll be making room in my wardrobe for sooner rather than later too- not only do I love the style, but the print is also really eye-catching, and I think it would look great teamed with a cute collar. Finally, this deer ring from Ever Ours is my current pick of their adorable (and amazingly priced!) selection of jewellery- the perfect autumnal addition to any outfit, don't you think?

Are you a fan of online shopping? And which online shops are your favourites?
