Girlshop


It's a sad day in the land of shopping. I recently found out Girlshop (including totshop and guyshop) is closing their online doors as well as their brick and mortar store. They were definitely a pioneer when it came to finding unique brands and placing them in their online boutique.

FabSugar reported, "What set girlshop.com apart from other online retailers was it's magazine-like look. Laura Eismen explains, 'When we launched, the reason we were successful was, we offered unique products and started this trend for emerging fashion. Now that it's everywhere, it makes us less unique.'"

I've heard conflicting reports about being able to still order on their website. It looks as though you can, but I didn't complete an order to find out if you go through the entire checkout process. But if you can, that might be the only bright side to this closing - blowout sales. Check it out, you just might receive some amazing products at unbelievable prices.

Girlshop will be sorely missed.
