It's really a wonderful thing to have sponsors as lovely as these featured on Pretty Shiny Sparkly. But sometimes, a banner ad is not enough. It's not enough to show you just how truly kickass their selection or concept is. So, I like to feature my favorite things about their sites here. Enjoy! SmashionSmashion is a really neat concept - if you've got new with tags or only-worn-once clothing or shoes that you'd like to get rid of (and make some cash in the process) Smashion allows you to do so for no fees. I think it's really great because users can take pics of their designer (or non designer) bags, shoes, tops, dresses, jeans...anything, really - and put it up for sale easy-peasy.

Le Mode AccessoriesOooh-ie-me, I looooove me some accessories! Le Mode is solely, unabashedly, and brilliantly only about accessories. A great selection of bags, rings, necklaces, and more (like belts 'n stuff!) that are all on-trend and...get this...affordable! I love that last part. This stuff looks at least 10 times more expensive than it really is. So stock up! Le mode is brand new and sure to be a huge hit (especially with all the blog love) so grab the great stuff while they last.

Eleonora BonucciEleonora Bonucci is a fabulous Italian retailer stocking tons of designer names like Chloé, Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry, Dior, Balmain, Versace, and more...that ships worldwide. They have huge sales and great prices, and are a great find for designer merchandise that is usually up to 30% off! Don't miss this one. Bookmark it. Now. Then get that Burberry trench you've been wanting. On sale.

KarmaloopKarmaloop is just one of my very favorite sites to shop at. Seriously. With names I keep coming back to like Sam Edelman, Kelsi Dagger, Mink Pink, Wildfox, & more...I just cannot get enough. Plus, if you bookmark something and take the chance of it not being sold out in your size (which unfortunately happens a lot because it's such a popular online destination) you can usually get them on sale weeks later for a ridiculously good price.Plus you'll get 10% off if you enter code PSS10 at checkout!

ModclothModcloth is the über-sponsor of fashion blogs, and I'm really pleased to welcome them aboard! I bought a pair of sparkly madden girl pumps last week that will be in an outfit post this coming Wednesday, and they're amazing. I really like that they feature measurements for their clothing...so I can see if a jacket's sleeves will be freakishly long requiring tailoring, or if they'll be spot-on.

Don't miss...

Also, don't miss these awesome favorite online shops of mine (great for hard-to-find indie type brand names, and those Jeffrey Campbell shoes-of-the-hour).
