THE BEST ONLINE SITES FOR FALL FASHION
I always have a love hate relationship with October. On one hand, it's a reminder that I can no longer wear my sexy strappy sandals, short-shorts and crop tops. On the other hand, there’s beauty in the colourful leaves and the crisp air creates opportunities to snuggle up with a loved one and retrieve your Fall essentials from the back of the closet.
Now if your Fall wardrobe needs some TLC, here are my recommendations for online shopping websites you explore from the comfort of your couch.

THE WRAP LIFE
Fall and winter is not our hair best friend. Fact. Most of women’ especially black women we’ll look for a protective style during this season to prevent their curly and kinky hair of breakage. I don’t know for you but wearing braids or a wig for 6 months straight is not option for me.
Headwraps is the best stylish hair remedy for hair breakage and can be a great protective style alternative for your hair. The Wrap Life is a Brooklyn based online store and offers unique and fashionable headwraps with modern or voguish african prints. If you are looking to outshine during fall and winter The Wrap life is your best bet!

Old faithful.
I was introduced to Ebay back in college. A popular misconception about Ebay, is that it's only houses used items. WRONG! Ebay has a huge selection of new and pre-loved items. Most, if not all, of the fast fashion trends are available from numerous sellers. The prices are normally inexpensive and most offer free shipping. The only downfall is the shipping. Most items may come from China and have a 3-4 week shipping delay.
Your wardrobe certainly can’t go wrong with these 4 top fashion stores
I discovered this site about 6 years ago when I was looking the perfect jumpsuit. A quick google search brought me to what I call the "Mecca" of online shopping sites. They're collection is very extensive, housing pretty much any brand you can think of and more. The vast variety allows for a wide range of sizes and prices to suit all body types and budgets. To add icing on the cake, they offer FREE STANDARD SHIPPING WORLDWIDE... you're welcome!
Known over the world, Zara is an international name synonymous with trendsetting and there SALES. They recently started online shopping about a year ago in Canada, making every item super accessible. Not only do they offer free delivery on all orders over $50 but if there is an issue regarding size, fit etc. you can simply walk into your local store for an exchange or return.
I love this site! They recently opened stores in the Bay across Canada and house their items on TheBay.ca. If you want to see all their full stock, sales etc, then topshop.com is where you need to be. They offer international shipping and like Asos, house many other brands making it a one-stop click shop. They offer reasonable shipping fees and a online magazine, with the latest in fashion news, trend and tips.
This is a great option when looking for bright, bold, colors and patterns. All there pieces are designed right out of Los Angeles. They’re stylish and bold pieces make them a heavy hitter when it comes to streetwear. They also feature up and coming brands so, you can get some ultra exclusive, authentic and limited pieces.
