PROs: The clothing from this company is excellent. The items run true to size and fit like a glove. I was very impressed with my first order. The quality and workmanship of the dresses is unlike anything I have seen from ASOS, NastyGal etc. I would definitely recommend this site to any one looking for retro dresses. It is pricey, but worth every penny given the quality of fabrics, stitching, fit etc.

CONs: I've ordered twice from the site and on both occasions, even though they have had all my shipping/billing information entered correctly in my order forms, both times, the items were shipped to some non-existent blended version of the two addresses. As a result, even though the UPS shipping they use is super fast, it takes forever as the packages get returned to sender and have to be resent after I've contacted Stop Staring and informed them of the error. On the upside the mistake was corrected and I did receive the package eventually the first time. I am currently waiting for my second order to make its way back to me. I will likely order from this site again; hopefully without the added hassle of the shipping issues.

I can't quite remember how I came across this site, but am I ever glad I did. This store sells some pretty unique prints of really cool stuff. I'm a movie buff and I live in a modern loft and their minimalist film posted we re a great addition to my place. I get a lot of compliments on the posters. If I had more wall space, I would definitely get more items from here!

PROs: I can't rave enough about ASOS! I live in Toronto, and I find the majority of their items well priced. Shoes especially are affordable and on trend. Way better than buying something generic, poorly made and overpriced at let's say ALDO or Town Shoes. ASOS is also generally very trendy. I usually find the latest trends on ASOS before they ever hit the malls here. ASOS sells their own brands, and several other third-party brands as well. They range from the super pricey like Stylestalker to super cheap like the ASOS brand; so the quality and worksmanship can vary. I personally like the ASOS brand. The quality is decent to very good; however you can't beat the pricing, especially once items go on sale.

CONs: Admittedly, I have several items from ASOS which either didn't fit well, or look as nice (on me) as they did online. That being said, I still continue to order items from there because for every one item I didn't love, I have 10 that I adore. Another con is the returns, at least for us Canadians. It can cost a pretty penny to send items back to the UK and I would recommend waiting until you have a few (if you order as often as I do) to send it out as one shipment. Outside of that, the returns process is no-nonsense, quick and painless.
