Recently on the Little Blog Of Horrors I have been sharing my shopping hauls with you. I had a massive clear out of my wardrobe at the start of summer and after my 23rd birthday, which left a space in my wardrobe (and purse) for some new things. With pretty much 90% of my treats being bought from the internet (it is a dangerous place to wander…) I thought I would share, in no particular order, my top ten sites to order from the web. Especially since you might be starting your christmas shopping early (sorry, I said it!) or fancy a wee something in the post before payday. So, a few shopping baskets later…
Owned by Oli Sykes of hardcore band Bring Me The Horizon, his clothing range (for boys AND girls) brings out the ‘grown up’ emo in me. Oh dear. Think killer kitties and awesome illustrations with a tattoo vibe.
A UK based Kawaii shop. Need I say more?
Don’t let the name put you off. This is definitely more of a ‘splurge’ site, but they offer some exclusive brands and celebrity favourites such as Jeffery Campbell, Wildfox and Disney Couture.
A beautiful Edinburgh based independent boutique, who specialise in items designed or handmade by indie designers. Jewellery, art, stationary, homewares – SO many pretty things. Plus, they’re scottish 🙂
‘Music Inspired Clothing’ is their tagline, but amongst the mass of band tee’s Pulp also stock the likes of David & Goliath, and Iron Fist. Another rocky store like Drop Dead, but stocking lots of different brands.
The prettiest dresses you will EVER find. I wish I could afford them all ♥
A lovely mixture of clothing and gifts, almost like a more vintage version of Urban Outfitters (with a similar price tag) and all really lovely quality stuff.
This website really brings out the inner kid in me! I don’t order from it as much as I did when I was younger, but love getting other people pressies from here. They do lots of cute stuff for wee people, and a lot of personalised goodies too.
Another old favourite, who have changed quite a bit since I started shopping with them years ago (mainly just the prices) but their simple and quirky designs remain. Love the fact that they stock cute stationary and rather funny cards too.
An absolutely eclectic website for my inner geek. Like an online gadget shop, with THE most random gifts you will ever find. Literally something to suit everyone. Very odd but very super indeed.
I’ve been bookmarking pages for gift ideas for friends and family, and myself from time to time as you already know. I hope you found a few new treasures in the form of online shopping with this post, and it wouldn’t be complete without asking to you post your favourites in the comments too 🙂

OH MY GAWD!! Ayden!! I went nuts shopping in Hannah Zakari when I was in Edinburgh a couple of years ago, but while trying to squeeze my suitcase closed I ended up taking all the goodies out of the bag and shoving them in the case. Long story short, I lost the bag with the store name and couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called! I have been searching for the shop ever since!!!! You just made my entire month!!! Thank you sooo much Ayden!!!

Love from Oz!
