Online Shopping: Top 10 Best List

You go to clothing stores all the time, check out each one inside the mall.  You are a shopping fanatic, or just looking for some new clothes.  Maybe you are looking for gifts to give those you care about since the holidays are just around the corner.  Well, here is my list of the top ten best online stores on the market.  I am not saying they are the best, but they are my favorites.

If you are into rock music and skating, I am sure you have heard of the brand called Vans.  Every summer there is the famous Warped tour sponsered by Vans.  If you go to their website, you can find events, concert dates, information on new items, plus a whole lot more.  They sale shirts, pants, shoes, and many accessories.  Vans also lets you customize your own shoes. 

Are Vans products expensive, you ask?

Well here is a sample list of their products and prices.  Take into consideration it is depending on gender, sizes, and length (for example longer sleeve shirts are $26 and shorter ones are $22).

• Shirts- $22 – $26
• Shorts- $40 – $48
• Shoes- $45 – $60
• Customized shoes
• Belts- $22 – $32
• Hats/ Beanies- $22 – $34

Next, Hot Topic is your stop for anything having to do with music.  They have CD’s, Accessories, Shoes, clothes, including Band Tees.  Some items at Hot Topic are quite expensive, however, in my opinion they are worth the money.  Most probably look at the clothes, and think Gothic Apparel, but it is much more. 

                          Prices?

·         A pair of their famous Tripp pants (as shown in the photo above): $60 

·         Skinny Capri’s: $39

·         Jacket (depending on the type, but typically): $46

·         T-Shirts: $20 (typically)

·         Corset (also shown in photo above): $42

·         Raw brand hair dye : $12.99

·         CD’s: from $9.99 up to $16.99

Zazzle is a community that was created eight years ago.  Zazzle is where you can create, sell, and buy products.  Zazzle is a great place to use for gifts.  You can create something special and then buy it.  If you want, you have the ability to have others buy the gifts you make.  Another nice thing about Zazzle is that if you become a creator, you can obtain some money on what you sale. 

The prices vary, depending on product, and creator, as the creator sets the prices depending on what percentage they want in return. 

To take an inside peak of how fun and easy this online store is, take a gander at my store front:

Affliction is a online clothing store teamed up with Sinful (which is the female version of Affliction).  Affliction clothing has a lot of great art on all of the t-shirts.  If you have ever watched Mindfreak, you may be familiar with the shirts from Criss Angel.  If you go to Criss’s online store, you will find his Affliction shirts on sale. 

Affliction’s t-shirts are $66.  Sounds pretty pricey

Jackets – $180

Tuxedo Leather Jackets- $350

Leather Jacket – $700
