Shop with Me: My Favorite Stores to Shop
(Because online shopping is a learned skill)
Your questions answered: Where do you shop?
Whether I’m looking for an occasion dress, every day essentials, my next favorite pair of shoes, or a gift for E, I’ve got a plan and plenty of options for ya. Keep reading for the low down on where to shop, when, and best tactics.
So pop open your laptop and let’s get started, shall we?
No. 14
No shame in my game. No. 14 is obviously my first choice. I specifically think our strongest category is dresses. We are THE place to go for a dress whether it’s for date night, every day errands, a bridal/baby shower or a guest-of event.
Of course, we carry it all; denim, jackets, tops, accessories, you name it! We drop new arrivals every Tuesday at 9am, and every single piece of clothing is curated and styled by me, so obviously— I love it all and I’m proud of this baby.
Shopbop
One of my favorite places to scroll because of their curation and styling. They have the perfect mix of high and low price points & upload new arrivals at the beginning of every week.
I love to search their new arrivals and ‘favorite’ them so I can refer back when I’m on the hunt. Pro tip: Sign into your amazon account for prime shipping. You’re welcome.
I actually just wrote a post with all of my favorite Shopbop pieces categorized by different styles, so you can check out the Shopbop sale post for more specifics!
Nordstrom
Who doesn’t love Nordstrom? But, I do have to say, I find their website incredibly overwhelming. When browsing, I tend to narrow down to a few brands/ideas of what i’m searching for.
Right now, I’m always looking for spring and summer shoes, so I’ll sort by newest, and go from there. My favorite brands to browse:
Marc Fisher LTD, AGOLDE, Jeffrey Campbell
Revolve
Fast and free shipping. What more could you ask for? They have killer brand selection. You need a statement-making gown or a knockout pair of heels? They’re your answer. ALSO, they update every. single. day. Not kidding. You can sort by what’s new THAT day. You’ll never get bored.
My favorite brands to shop:
Free People
Incredibly styled. I draw a lot of inspiration for No. 14’s photoshoots from them. Some of my most worn pieces have come from Free People! (ex. my ride-or-die overalls, mules, pippa pullover) I love shopping here for trendy items that I’ll incorporate into my closet staples and wear again and again.
I think FP does shoes really well too. Boots, flats, heels, you can get it for a really fair price point with impressive quality that lasts.
(For example, the Chelsea boots that almost every girl that work for No. 14 now owns.) A lot of the shoes we shoot with at No. 14 come from here! (You can browse them all here)
For the Home:
Jayson Home
My go-to for home accessories and books. I got influenced by some insta ads for Jayson Home more recently, and I have been ordering from them regularly. I LOVE their selections. I think they have amazing home accessories like books, decorative objects, and trays.
CB2
A lot of my furniture in our new house is from here. I honestly love every category. My favorite things I’ve purchased from CB2 recently have to be our boucle chairs in the lounge or the console table in our living room. I just love the lines. I also think they have some of the best vase selections (I have a vase-collecting problem—I can never have too many!)
Lulu and Georgia
They are strong in a lot of categories but I think their lighting is really great and reasonably priced. Our killer wicker kitchen chairs are also from here and I love them.
Anthropologie
Anthro kills the styling game as always. I love their home selection, but I do think that it can get eclectic. They carry sooo many things that can cater to a lot of different styles. I definitely think it’s somewhere you have to dig a bit. I personally love all of their kitchen product. I’ve used their ‘latte’ plates, bowls, and platters as our everyday stuff since I moved out of college. I tend to stick to home decor and accessories here.
H&M Home
An unexpected one for me, but H&M Home is a hidden gem for trendy and affordable home decor. I love their vases. I’d say it can be hit or miss, but every once in a while I pop on and refresh their new arrivals and find some seriously good things. Like i just bought this vase and object and I love the shapes and texture.
Crate & Barrel
Almost everything in my kitchen is from there. I specifically love all of their barware and entertaining pieces.
Shop Small:
As a small business owner, I’m all about shopping local. These two are some of my favorite spots, and luckily, they ship! The owners of both of these stores are so sweet, incredibly talented at their trades, and willing to help with any needs.
Hot Haute Hot
THE spot for unbelievable vintage finds. My mom and I both have been shopping at HHH for years and years. They have pieces that really look like one-of a kind. A great place for lighting, sofas and furniture as well.
Nue Look at Home
This is a new business in Zelienople. Freesia, the owner is so sweet and has amazing taste. They put almost all of their product online too if you aren’t local! I have been snagging awesome home accessories here! It’s also a go-to gifting place for a house warming gift.
That’s all for now! Happy shopping!
