Shopping online .... forget about the malls!

Lately the Australian dollar has risen so high, that 1AUD = 1.07USD! Not too sure if it's good for the country in long term, as education industry is starting to feel the impact. However, one thing I do find was the clothing and fashion in Australia suddenly has become so expensive.

For example, a wool jacket would cost 200AUD average for a branded one. Instead I went to online store in US, suddenly everything seems so much cheaper! I can get a branded wool jacket for AUD99 at sale price (after conversion from USD)!

In a way, this is not good to the country as well, as the money is flowing out faster than ever. For the meantime, while the AUD is high, I think I need to get a couple of shoes and worry later hehehe.

The shop I have visited or ordered (Free shipping worldwide) :
