Again, the purpose of this article is to fill you in on the biggest celebrity shopping secret and why you should follow suit.

Let’s get down to step by step details right here and you’ll be shopping like a celebrity today…

Reason 1 – First Things First – The Secret Is…

ATTENTION: I am about to unveil the biggest celebrity shopping secret… Shop for outfits not separates! It may sound pretty simple but as women, we tend to be impulse shoppers and at the end of the day we usually only end up with a bunch of separates. There are actually reasons why we should not do this, and I am going to divulge all of this information to you.

Wanna feel like a celeb, do as the celebs do!

Reason 2 – Shopping Made Easy

You may think buying a bunch of separates is easy shopping but it’s quite the contrary. This only fills up your closet with useless and sometimes never worn jeans, tops, and dresses. Didn’t you buy it to wear it? The truth is outfit shopping actually makes the shopping experience easier.

Instead of just browsing, have a common theme in mind. What’s the occasion? What color do you want to wear? Are you going for dressy or casual? This plan of action will make putting your outfit together a cinch.

Reason 3 – Online Shopping

There’s actually an even easier way to shop for outfits and this is what a lot of celebrities do. They shop online. First of all, this saves on gas and avoids the paparazzi and pesky salespersons. Also, putting the perfect outfit together is just a few clicks away. There are actually a few websites now that sell clothing already grouped in outfits. I must say this is a really cool idea.  These online boutiques are usually run by stylists who not only sell an inventory of clothes, shoes, and accessories but they take the extra step of styling the inventory into ready made outfits. This is a new concept, so there aren’t very many of them running, but when you find one… it’s like hitting the jackpot.

Since, the purpose of this article is to be informative; I will give you the name of the online boutique I shop at, that sells the hottest celebrity inspired, fashion forward, stylist designed, ready-made outfits (See below).

Reason 4 – Don’t Even Waste Your Money

This biggest no-no to separate shopping is you usually never wear them and end up wasting your money. How many times have you bought a shirt, thinking, Okay, I’ll wear this with those jeans I have at home? Uh, did that ever happen? Not likely. That shirt will sit in your closet for days, weeks, and months unworn with the tag still on it and all. Essentially, the money spent on these clothes goes down the fashion drain. I too was guilty of this.  With outfit shopping, you know you have a full ensemble to rock at any time. I usually buy an outfit for every occasion. When I say outfit, by the way, I mean top, bottom, shoes, and accessory.

Outfit shopping also makes getting ready as simple as pie. You have everything right there in one place.

Reason 5 – The Runway Meets the Sidewalk Buying a full outfit, especially one bought as a package from an online shopping boutique, gives you an extra added confidence. It’s like being styled by your very own stylist. These stylist designed outfits are usually designed with the celebrities in mind. This is known as The Runway Meets the Sidewalk. So, strut your stuff girl!

Hit The Shops In London

Victoria Cochrane asked:

Are you a shopaholic? Many people are – even if we don’t always like to admit it. We all have our own particular brand of shop that we like to frequent though. For some people there is nothing better than going from one clothes shop to another, meanwhile other people love to shop around for new additions to place in their homes.

But no matter what type of shop you like best, you are bound to find it in London. The bustling capital is brimming over with a huge selection of shops both large and small. You’ve got the huge department stores like Harrods, and the plethora of small shops that are both quirky and welcoming too.

One of the best places to go if you like a touch of the unique is Covent Garden. You can visit a traditional toy shop here, and there is also a shop dedicated to astrology and everything concerned with it. Covent Garden is particularly popular due to offering a lot of different shops all in one attractive location; but there are other popular spots in London too, not least of which is the West End.

Many people automatically think of the theatre when they consider the West End. But in fact it is also a great place to spend some serious cash. Oxford Street is one of the most famous streets in the West End, and it is lined with shops of all descriptions that will appeal to the most dedicated of shoppers.

If you want a taste of the more expensive shops in London, the West End can also offer you the price tags of Bond Street. You might only want to window shop here, but even walking down the street takes you into another area of shopping altogether.

Of course, some stores command your attention more than others, and no one comes to London without taking a look on the many floors which make up Harrods. You can buy virtually anything you want in this luxury top end store. In fact, it is almost like several shops all in one.

With all these shops and many more on offer to explore and spend your way around, it isn’t surprising that some people choose to turn a shopping trip into a weekend away. It is good to know that there are plenty of hotels in London close to all the best shops, which provide the perfect base for a shopping spree weekend.

So the next time you have a weekend free and you feel the need to treat yourself to a few things, you may find that London is able to offer you the ultimate shopping experience that you are after.
