Spotlight on: ASOS

I am in love. Not superficial puppy love either. That amazing, all consuming kind of love where you cannot get the object of your affections out of your thoughts and you wonder where they have been all your life.

I am talking about ASOS. ASOS is an online clothing store based in the UK, and I would go so far as to say that it's the best clothing site I have ever shopped at (and believe me, I do A LOT of online shopping). Firstly, their range is amazing. They stock a huge range of designer brands, and have a very easy to navigate  A-Z of Women's Brands which makes it super easy to find clothes by particular designers. 

Their range of sizes is also fantastic. Obviously if you're shopping designer brands, the available sizes will depend on what size that particular designer goes up to. However, ASOS do their own range of fabulous (and quite reasonably priced) clothes which go from UK6-UK18. Their UK sizing is roughly the same as Australian sizing, so an ASOS 10 would be an Australian 10 and an American 6. They also have  ASOS Curve for the curvy ladies, which go from UK20-UK26, and  ASOS Petite, designed to fit vertically challenged women who are 5'3"/160cm or under. They even have a Maternity Section! 

And I've saved the best until last, they do FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE! ON EVERYTHING! NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU SPEND! Sorry for the caps, but nothing gets my motor running like free shipping. Especially since I live in Australia, and usually have to pay $15 - $35 for shipping from overseas, which makes bargain clothing not such a bargain after all. You can choose to have prices displayed in one of eight different currencies, which is super handy and saves me using conversion sites and a calculator to find out the price in Aussie dollars. They also have amazing sales, where you can pick up great pieces for next to nothing. Trust me, it's worth waiting for the sales.

To finish off, I've been in an Asos clothes lusting frenzy for the last hour or so, browsing the fabulous mid-season sale they're currently having. Here are my top five picks from the sale. Enjoy!

 

1.  London Rebel Studded Buckle Shoe Boot - $30.64

I actually ordered these. I've been searching for the perfect winter boot for a while, and I'm confident these will fill the bootless void in my life. I love the chunky heel and the material, and they also come in brown for $25.24!

2. ASOS Fan Pleated Bandeau Dress - $27.04

Those who know me will know that there are few things I love more than a good cocktail dress. I like dresses with a little something different that will stand out, and I love the pleated fan feature here. It's also available in purple and in ASOS Petite, and for $27.04 down from $75.71, who am I to say no?

3.  ASOS Stripe Off Shoulder Body Suit - $10.82

I've become a little obsessed with bodysuits lately, they're perfect for wearing as tops with flared skirts or voluminous shorts. At $10.82 Australian, this one is an absolute steal.

4.  Numph Graphic Print Dress - $90.13

Alas, I cannot afford this. I love Numph, they do awesome dresses with crazy prints. And those sleeves! This one is down from $126.18, and if I had the money I would buy it in a second. But hey, a girl can dream.

5.  ASOS Cropped Ribbed Military Cardigan - $21.63

I'm loving the military trend at the moment, and this cardigan has the military buttons but keeps it feminine with the ruffle at the bottom. It's coming into Winter in Australia as well, so a good cardigan is a must. Down from $64.89, this is a bargain.
