White Lightning Style Blogger Shares Her Exceptional Online Shopping Tips

The URL 'White Lightning' might not scream style blog, but Elizabeth Spiridakis' daily posts are just as fun, quirky, and awesome as the title might suggest (and in case you're curious, it's based on the nickname she was given because of her pale skin). When she's not doing one of her many day jobs (consulting, art direction, graphic design, styling ...), she's snapping pics of her latest purchases, like an amazing pair of red patent peep-toe clogs, or writing about the secrets of Erin Fetherston's perfect bangs. Naturally, she has a treasure trove of online shopping tips that she shared with us:

Elizabeth's top picks for ...

A bargain:

"Stand Up Comedy, my favorite store in Portland, Oregon, has killer sales when the time comes around. Think $50 Acne jeans, a $160 Henrik Vibskov dress."

Under-the-radar fashion:

"International Playground, the boutique on Stanton Street, has a website that I stalk while I am supposed to be working. I am seriously obsessed and can say with confidence that you will discover tons of new labels you have never heard of before."

A splurge:

"Wendy Nichol! She makes the absolute best leather goods--to me they are exactly what I search for in vintage stores and can never find. I have one of her Bullet bags in white leather and I love it so much! I want the leopard-print one next!"

Jewelry:

"I love DLC Brooklyn, especially the 'one of a kind' section. I think it's so cool that Susan Domelsmith makes every piece by hand, from jewelry she collects from all over the country, and I am also obsessed with All for the Mountain. The website alone is crazy-town amazing, but the metal rings of cast crystals are the coolest rings around."
