Savvy Tip: Two Ways to Score Free WiFi at the Airport
Searching for (or stealing) someone else's spotty Internet signal is never fun. Trust me, I've tried it — and let's just say Savvy wasn't smiling when it cut out . .
There is always first time for everything...online shopping. Yes or No?
I always knew they existed - I have seen their chic dresses, sexy heels and cool tops. I am talking about Topshop. I got even excited when I found out that they opened a store in NYC, although I live in Denver, Colorado. I must say things come around a lot slower around here and don't get me wrong, there are nice stores here, but it's not to the point where they satisfy my fashion cravings.
This is when the beauty of online shopping comes in handy. My friend Sophie loves to shop online. She says that it's the best because she can buy things anytime,even in 2 in the morning, not have to worry about driving to the mall ( and not finding anything at the mall!!) and in most cases there's no sales tax and a little shipping and usually the return and exchange are easy.
I must say I was never comfortable of buying clothes online. Shoes and bags, I'm OK with. With clothes, things are different simply because every brand has slightly different sizing and all. Topshop seemed no exceptions. It's from UK, and I know sometimes the equivalent of those sizes can be confusing...( look at H&Ms!)
One day, as I was looking through tons of pictures as always - new trends, jackets and coats for fall and winter. And there it was. I fell in love with this striped knit jacket from Topshop. I looked at the price and fell in love with it even more - it's only $80!!
Knitted Stripe Jacket
$80.00 at Topshop
I had to go to the store - but wait, there is no Topshop here in Denver! As I envied those folks in NYC, I went online. I quickly navigated myself to look for the jacket and there it was! I want, I want! Pause. What is my size?
Suddenly, I was lost. I usually wear 2 or 4, depending on the brand. I have jackets and tops that run rather smaller and larger and what????? While all those thoughts kept going around my head, I looked up on the sizing chart. Hmmm....I think I am 4 but I don't want it to be too tight since it's a knit jacket....oh well, let's just order 6 in case and if it didn't fit, I'd just exchange it.

Not long ago I had an apple problem. Wavering in the produce section of a Manhattan grocery store, I was unable to decide between an organic apple and a nonorganic apple (which was labeled conventional, since that sounds better than "sprayed with pesticides that might kill you"). It shouldn't have been a tough choice--who wants to eat pesticide residue?--but the organic apples had been grown in California.
