Internet Shopping 101 (Plus Our Recommendations for Shopping for Tall Clothes)

I really enjoyed this mornings Today show segment called "Internet Shopping 101" with Stacy London from TLC's "What Not to Wear."

The recap:
Look for websites that give you the most information. Use your favorite search engine and search for the item itself. Also, search for your favorite designer. Many great websites will pop up that you may not have found before.
1. Finding the Right Fit:
Recommended website: Nordstrom.com has a body measurement guide in their dress and customer service sections and you can have a live chat with a customer representative while you are looking at the item itself. (We love Nordstrom for tall designer pants, plus size clothes, and large shoes.)
2. Websites That Offer Accessories:
Zappos.com has 3 million items, over 1000 brands. You can search by shoes by color, by size and heel height and they also have great bags. (We love them for large shoes.)
Bag, Borrow or Steal lets you rent bags. This is a great option for special events.
Max & Chloe.com lets you shop for accessories by price. (Take $10 off orders of $100 or more with coupon code: T7PR8)
3. Plus Size Clothing
Lee Lee's Valise.com is a great plus size store. (We also recommend our plus size section at Tall Clothing Mall.)
4. Fashion Trends
Revolve Clothing.com is a website that has head to toe looks called lookbooks. This offers you one stop shopping for complete outfits.
We also recommend the following stores for one stop shopping for tall clothes:
Eddie Bauer just about anything you click on, offers you the rest of your outfit all put together for easy shopping.
FashionChateau.com has a nice lookbook especially for women's tall loungewear and tracksuits with inseams up to 40" long.
Shopbop.com also has a trendy lookbook with many tall designer jeans and longer length tops.

The bottom line is that you can find everything you need shopping from the comfort of your home.
Another tip, make sure you shop with a credit card and not debit card just in case anything could go wrong, you don't want someone having access to your bank account.
