With festival season and formal coming up, it's important to find that perfect outfit that you won't see on anyone else. If it's your special night, and I'm sure you want to stand out! Instead of being frustrated by your local mall, grab a glass of wine and simply open your laptop!
Australian boutiques are trending for college women in America, or at least they should be. Australia is ahead of the curve in trends, and has some of the most gorgeous models that make clothes look even more beautiful. You may not look like them, but the styles are so too cute not to love! Even if you don't have the guts (or funds) to actually buy, it's always fun to virtual window shop! The best part is converting the prices to USD, and feeling less bad about putting in that credit card info! ;)
1. Tiger Mist
Tiger Mist has a unique, trendy look. They offer tons of bodycon dresses and skirts that are anything but boring, and would certainly make you stand out!
2. Hello Molly
Hello, Molly has some gorgeous, unique designs with a classy Instagram to boot. I've ordered one dress from them, and was pleasantly impressed by the quality of the material, and how great I felt in it!
3. Mura Boutique
Mura has some great rompers ("playsuits") and dresses that would be perfect for standing out at Sunday brunch! For those that prefer a Saturday night out, they also offer nicer club dresses with some interesting and daring necklines!
4. Xenia
Xenia really stands out with its vibrant clothing and patterns to die for!
5. Sabo Skirt![]()
Sabo Skirt has a gorgeous boho collection and is perfect for those beach vibes!
6. Esther Boutique
From sweaters to two-piece sets, Esther Boutique has the latest trends in fashion that will make you want to buy everything they have!
1. Size Up
Unless you look like the model, your best bet would be to size up. Australian sizes tend to run small.
2. Research
If you're hesitant about international ordering, do some research online to see how the clothes look on someone other than the model. I've had luck on Poshmark, or stalking the boutique's social media through their tagged pictures, or hashtags.
3. Don't Stress
If the dress doesn't work out, don't worry! It's pretty easy to send back. Just make sure to give yourself a few weeks before you need the outfit to order, or have a backup handy. When I ordered a dress from HelloMolly, it came a lot faster than I had expected.
