Along with eating, drinking, free stuff, and eating and drinking free stuff, online shopping is among some of the best uses of your time. Sometimes it’s the absolute worst, but more often than not it’s a liberating experience that offers you freedom from the confines of pants, freedom to browse without being cast in the shadow of a vaguely threatening waif, freedom from actually handling cash, cumbersome shopping bags and being vertical.
It’s also the best because of all the bargains and the lack of other people involved.
From midday to midnight tomorrow (coinciding with Christmas Shopping season and Cyber Monday, the Internet’s biggest e-tail day of frenzy), Vogue are conducting the fourth edition of their Online Shopping Night. Like the IRL equivalent, Fashion’s Night Out, there are bargains aplenty, and gifts with purchase galore (hereafter GWP, or stuff you can re-gift in a month’s time), meaning you’re going to need our helpfully thematised GIF guide. Unlike FNO, however, it’s perfectly acceptable to get boozed and horizontal, something that’s supposedly frowned upon in polite society/a high-fashion retail environment. Nevertheless, this!
Save yourself the sight of American Apparel’s sometimes garish visual merchandising by shopping on their online store. They’re offering 30% off store-wide when you enter the code VOSN30 at the checkout. T&Cs apply.
You’d be hard pressed to find a sentence that features the words ‘ASOS’ and ‘Australia’ that isn’t closely followed by the statistic that someone in Australia places an order from the e-tail giant every six seconds. And with good reason, it’s an impressive statistic. ASOS are offering you 15% off everything with the code ASOSXMAS. T&Cs also apply, but don’t let that stop you from your very own click frenzy.
Drop your crotch and give your evening a much-needed sense of luxe by shopping online with Bassike. They’re offering 20% off all sale items, free shipping on all orders in Australia and a GWP on full priced items when you enter the secret code word BASSIKEVOSN at the checkout. You can also go in the chance to win $1000. NBD.

Treat yo’self to some wearable art courtesy of Elke Kramer’s innovative wares. You’re 30% closer to owning a piece of exquisite shiny ELKE goodness with the code VOSN4ELKE, and you can also ring in your purchase with a further 30% off already reduced items. If you like it, put a ring on it. Or something.
Are you a young, intelligent woman who’ll be peppering her summer with a liberal serving of cultural events? Then you’ll need something to wear from Gorman in a fun print. With 20% off storewide, the more you buy the more money you’re saving to put toward a ticket to Grimes or Laneway or the Sydney Festival or something. World music to our ears.
By this point you’ve probably already downed your pants and a few standard drinks, so head over to Incu to curate some much needed good taste and enter a retail destination so beautifully designed it’ll make you reevaluate your life choices so far. If you purchase a $100 gift voucher, say for a grateful lover or sibling in need of a makeover, Incu will give you a gift voucher to the value of $150! I’m not sure how this works but you’re practically making money! Keep that last one for yourself and buy something A.P.C. or rag & bone and you’ll receive a gift from each label (a tote and scarf respectively).

If it’s anything like the suburb, you’re going to want in on this mania inciting offer.

Kit Willow goes from strength to strength and with 20% off her e-boutique and free-shipping you’d be hard pressed to find more desirably diaphanous creations than hers.
