Any truly addicted online shopper has probably seen an ad for Jolly Chic peeking out from behind her latest Facebook chat about last night's hijinks. Having passed it up many times as shopping is not my top priority while stalking the ex's newest photos, I was wary of actually clicking it. However it seems that Zuckerberg stopped bedding biddies long enough to refine his sidebar ads and I stumbled upon a cute boutique that offers international shipping.



Feel free to drop a beat as we break it down into the pros and cons of international sellers:


Pros: unique clothing, bitchin' low prices, free shipping for larger purchases
Cons: time to ship, shipping is usually based by weight (more stuff (read: more shoes) = higher cost))

With that said, this boutique is one of the best Asian-based sellers I've seen and it has some great clothing at mid-range prices.



Because they mimick European styles, Eastern-based trends tend to be ahead of American styles. However, they tend to make these styles with cheaper fabric so the lower price range comes with a lower quality.


Many of the styles that are popular on the site right now are reminiscent of Anthropologie or J. Crew.

Keep in mind that these are in Asian sizes aka: made for the impossibly small. A general rule of thumb for ordering any clothing from Asian sellers is to go one size up when ordering.

Jolly Chic is currently having a $5 off sale at checkout for Easter so hop on over to hunt for some egg-cellent deals. <end puns>
