I decided the Bec&Bridge dress I left behind in Adelaide would be an ideal number to wear to Brisbane’s Oaks Day races at Eagle Farm in June this year.

After an online search on Bec&Bridge’s site (which didn’t have my size) I googled and found the dress offered on shopbop.com. Confident with the sizing I decided to order it, enjoyed free delivery from the US and it arrived nicely packaged about 4 days later! The dress was perfectly folded and felt ‘new’.

I never thought I would be a convert to online shopping in a major way but the only value I place on retail stores now is to check the size and fabric and then buy online!

I fact I enjoyed the online experience so much, I ordered the Camilla Skovgaard Saw Sole Platform sandals which had been modelled on shopbop.com with the dress!
