It’s no secret that we love online shopping. From our favourite Australian designers, to big names like Zara (a recent development that we’re very happy about), there’s nothing you can’t buy online these days. Don’t get us wrong, we still love shopping in stores, but sometimes the convenience of online shopping is much more preferable.

In addition to being a lot easier (you don’t even have to leave your bed!), online shopping can be drastically cheaper. When shopping online, it’s simply easier to scour multiple sites at once to find what you’re looking for at the cheapest price (if you’ve ever dedicated a day to jeans shopping, going from store to store comparing how well different brands fit and how much they cost, you likely know that it’s not exactly an enjoyable experience). Furthermore, online sites often have better sales than you can find in-store. Showing up at an end-of-season sale, only to find the selection completely picked over is an all too common reality when shopping IRL. Virtual shopping however, means that the stock is higher and items that have run out will generally be taken down immediately (no sales FOMO here).

Have we convinced you of the perks of online shopping yet? If not, this will. We just found a tool that will save you heaps of money when online shopping—and who wouldn’t be happy about that? By signing up for Lyst, the fashion search site will allow you to track items that you’ve been eyeing and alert you when they go on sale. As most things in life, trends are not forever. So it’s pretty inevitable that every item you’ve been coveting will be discounted at some point.

While it can be tempting to purchase an item at full-price for fear of it selling out before you catch onto the fact it’s been discounted, Lyst now removes that anxiety by keeping track of the item for you. Best of all, Lyst is partnered with thousands of sites, so the chances that you’ll be able to nab that discounted item is much higher than if you were relying on your own savvy to seek out bargains. Keep scrolling to see some of the best finds we've discovered via Lyst so far.
