Style diva Sonam Kapoor lets Sunday MiD DAY in on the secret behind her great style Internet shopping
But the problem is
There is a major tax, which is ridiculous, so it's not very viable. I go through websites and see what I like, jot down the serial number and then when I go abroad, I visit the store with the details.u00a0
My first online buy
Was a pair of black sequined Pedro Garcia booties from net-a-porter some six seasons ago in 2007 when I started working.
I shop at
outnet, net-a-porter, ebay, amazon, victoria secret, browns fashion, matches fashionu2026 there are some 500 million sites!u00a0

It's easier to shop online
Because I know the specific designers and I know my sizes. Unless the site has a return policy or you know your size or have a really good tailor, it's better to visit the store. It's okay to shop online for DVDs, books and even artificial jewellery.
My latest rubbish buy
I bought a gizmo-looking hand fan because it gets really hot on set with the make-up on, but that broke. Then I got an Indian fan a grey one.
Find the best deals on
outnet.com. Most websites have sales when the season ends. shopstyle.com lets you put email alerts for designers. I really wanted a vintage Levis and put an alert for any Levis that goes on sale anywhere in the world.
The best on-time delivery
Is by net-a-porter.
Best time to shop online
For India, it's summer. However, in Jan-Feb, stuff goes on sale. But this is the Internet so any time is a good time.
I shop mostly for
Books and DVDs. I don't download. I have all the seasons of Bones. My mom is tired of all the Amazon stuff in our house.
I shop for gifts online
Most sites have an option where you can giftwrap the purchase and have it delivered. The billing address and the delivery address are different.u00a0
