Young Vogue

Pool party ready! I know its been a minute since I’ve posted but that’s only because I was busy moving down to Florida.

1. L*SPACE: I absolutely adore this site, it has such a wide range of styles that are all really good quality so there is no doubt you’ll find something perfect to kick off summer. Not going to lie though this brand is for sure on the more “pricey” end of things, typically ranging from $70-$100, with such amazing designs and quality you won’t be disappointed. Both I and my wallet also cry ourselves to sleep over the fact that they don’t have a sale section but hey beauty ain’t always cheap. So if you guys haven’t already heard of this site I would defiantly recommend checking it out!  

2. Frankie’s Bikinis: Unfortunately, like L*SPACE this site is definitely higher end thus their prices are on the “higher end” as well ( typically around $80-$200). Ya feel me? However, I’m still putting it on the list because of not just the fantastic quality they offer but, I shit you not, they bikinis they offer are literally what I dream about. They are beyond insta-worthy so it doesn’t surprise me at all to see A-List celebs such a Kylie Jenner and Candice Swanepoel wearing this brand!  

3.MissGuided: Unlike the last two stores, Missguided doesn’t just offer a wide selection of trendy swimwear but it also is AFFORDABLE with prices ranging from $11-$85. The quality isn’t too shabby considering the price but honestly, it can be hit or miss sometimes though general they tend to be substantial. One tip for when shopping on this site is please read the sizing guide and know your measurements, there is a lot of controversy over the accuracy of their sizing labels, so save time and money by knowing your measurements.

4. VICTORIA SECRET (rip): Ok so I lied this list is a bit more than three but since this line has been dropped I thought it was acceptable. I don’t know about you guys but I still haven’t gotten over the cut to Victoria Secrets swimwear line and honestly this use to be my go-to place so I’m still putting it on the list in hopes they’ll bring it back.

My favorite (and simultaneously stressful) part about the holiday season is getting gifts for all my close ones who deserve the recognition for being their amazing selves. Here I’ve selected a bunch of my favorite reasonably priced gift ideas for any fashion/beauty/health obsessed pal/kid/sibling/whoever. Hope you enjoy!

1. Assembly New York

To be realistic, I haven’t heard any complaints about this store. They provide excellent quality clothing that is stylish, artful, and flattering. It’s known for incredible dark neutral pieces and conservative colors.

2. Of a Kind

Have you ever wanted to wear something you knew nobody has? Well, this is the store for you! I really love this e-boutique because even in a society full of conformity this store manages to excel by creating gorgeous, high-quality, one of a kind apparel.

3. Aritzia

Aritzia is a perfect site for anybody looking for great quality clothing that'll last. Though they provide a wide selection of boutique prices, it may just be better to wait for the sales. However, this site earns a stop on my top 5 since it provides a chic but minimalist style which is an essential base for any wardrobe.

4. Are You Am I

This store is where you can find many of Insta-worthy apparel. Loved by A-list celebs such as Bella Hadid, this online boutique provides a  “California” vide (a lot of crop tops but on the bright side who doesn’t love layers) and incorporates many upcoming trends into their clothes with a unique aspect. Also would recommend checking out their jewelry if you’re into the layered gold necklace look that's big right now.

5. Ssense

I love online shopping about as much as the next person, but sometimes it can be a hassle to find the right stores to trust. To help you all out, I’ve compiled a list of my top, most trustworthy, online stores... enjoy!

1. Topshop

Though it isn’t always the most affordable, it has some of the best prices for how good the quality of the clothing is. My favorite thing from Topshop is their jeans like I'm actually obsessed so I’d recommend checking them out.

2. Forever 21

There is no way I wasn’t going to include the classic Forever 21 in this list of online stores since it provides not only a huge sale section but also reasonable quality for the prices they offer, not too shabby if you ask me. Perfect for finding basics and testing out trends without breaking the bank.

3. Boohoo

Boohoo is a new addition to my favorite online stores ever since Cyber-Monday. I was astonished by how much clothing I had put in my cart when I initially had little expectations for finding anything. Their clothes are cute and trendy for an excellent price!

4.Tobi

For a while, I was a bit suspicious about Tobi, but recently they’ve stepped the quality of their clothes up a notch. Not to mention their sales are pretty good, though the starting price isn’t too bad either. Tobi stays up to date with recent trends and has a diverse selection which is what puts them on my top 5 list.

5. Love Culture

This site is honestly great for everybody both petite sizes, plus sizes, and really just any size. They have an adorable and chic style selection that accommodates a vast majority of body types all while at affordable prices.
