Online Shopping

11-01-09

People who love shopping and the internet, this ones for you.

I make my usual seasonal shopping rounds over at Glamour Kills and got some luck on great deals. To me, I think majourity of stores are way too overpriced. Shirts should be like $10 instead of $25 (if made in China) because it can be made in a factory for about a dollar or two. One of my other favourite places to go is Johnny Cupcakes, from Boston, MA, made in the US. Its great quality shirts, but seriously $40 for a shirt? And over $100 for necklaces? This is why clearance was invented, for poor kids that cant afford anything.
Speaking of overpriced, Ruehl, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Hollister Co all carry similar if not the same styles and design for sweaters, outerwear, jeans, all except t-shirts. Even a lot of the things that are sale are still overpriced like a tank top for more than $10? Those stores are also dark especially Hollister and a lot of the times its hard to navigate through. Its dark so either they save electrical bills or that they dont want consumers to see how horrible the clothes are. Hot Topic is even brighter than those places and its different, which I like about the store. One of my favourite things to get from there is usually band merchandise or Skelanimals or cartoon products but sometimes I get Tripp products.
When shopping for jewerly, I head over to Forever 21 or to their jewerly line, For Love 21. I find their prices decent such as leggings for $4 and earrings for less. If you go to a Target or Walmart, their necklaces would be like $10, which is a total rip-off when you can get more better ones for less than $8. Some may be less than $5, even when not on sale because sales can go down to about $2. I find their stuff to be very adorable, fashionable and affordable.
Another fashionable but not afforable is Urban Outfitters. Not every guy that shops their is gay, even though a lot of them may be. Although things can be expensive, sales can be great like an original $70 pants can go low to sale $10. Their designs and cuts are different but they only go with a certain fashion style. American Apparel may be worn usually by the more alternative people but really anyone can wear them because their cuts and styles are simple and usually come in various colours. It is great quality and a lot of brands and bands shirts are printed on American Apparel however they are pricey. A plain coloured hoodie, whether its red or purple, can cost about $40. Personally, if  I want a hoodie for $40, its because its different designs or something but I would only pay $20 for a plain one.
Is anyone a big eBay shopper or even an addict? I’m not but I find great deals on eBay too. However, two of the same things can be completely different priced. Another thing I dont like about eBay is that sometimes I dont know if I can trust it, but thats what PayPal is for. I find it to the consumers advantage that PayPal is there for them because its very convenient and its like a third-person in the deal. Especially useful when I want to buy products from places like Babycakes, which is from the United Kingdom.

Thats not all the online stores on the Internet because its the biggest mall in the whole world since it alway keeps growing. I love online shopping because I can sit my lazyass on the couch all day and not miss a show on Cartoon Network or Comedy Central and buy whatever I want with a click of a button.

Thats all the shopping gibberish for now.

P.S. I lied. I just got my package from Glamour Kills yesterday.
