This is a shopping site, which is purely on-line and offers links to many high street shops, therefore allowing you to buy from these shops on line.

SHOPPING

This is obviously what this site was designed for and it offers an excellent range of high street names as well as on-line only brands and many specialist retailers. Be warned though that the prices of these stores are often expensive, as they are the better known brands. These shops include Topshop, Dorothy Perkins etc., many well-known high street brands. This site allows you to link to their site, which then allows normal on-line shopping. This is therefore a useful website, as these links are often hard to find as they are often not simply called topshop.co.uk etc.

OTHER FACITITIES
There are some excellent competitions on this site ranging from a
weeks family holiday to Florida to sun creams! They are very easy to enter and need you to enter your details in the boxes (including name, address, e-mail etc.)
They also offer an on-line dating service, loyalty points through shopping with them as well as special offers only available on-line.
They offer plenty of advice for all sorts of matters – this comes in the form of ‘agony aunts’ and articles providing advice.

This is a well-designed site that offers some excellent choice and interesting reads. It is set out like a magazine with features on fashion, beauty etc. It can be expensive, so watch the prices but overall it is fun and worth a look next time you are on-line shopping.
