I have them in gunmetal, which is almost black, but not.
my favorite online sites are:
girlshop.com (for hard-to find clothes)
makeupalley.com (always reference before buying makeup/skincare)
aloharag.com, revolveclothing.com, ebay of course (for mainstream trendy clothes)
www.monpetitenfant.com (for cute designer children's stuff)

When you buy something online, do you have to pay extra customs fees?!!!!!And also what happens if your item is seized?!
It really depends on where u r buying from. I know on urbn.com you have to pay a $30 customs fee/shipping
, however at sephora you only pay the $10 shipping fee. I like Sephora.com cuz we don't have it here in Alberta and I also like shopintuition.com, but I have never purchased from there, though I have seriously considered it. Other than that I buy from ebay.ca.bluebutter

Ditto to what HotSpot said. With goclothing.com the first purchase I made I had to pay $11CAD for duties but the second purchase I made, I didn't have to pay extra. I just paid the canadian shipping fee that they initially add onto your purchase.
I'm not quite sure about what you mean about an item being seized though
i contacted fedex recently cuz i was charged ~$150 USD in customs/duties or whatever... the rep suggested icontact US customs directly (which i will tomorrow) cuz she's based in canada... she told me that whenever you ship something to canada they do charge customs/duties regardless of whether the merchandise is commercial or personal use. they may over look things every now and then though... i hate customs

i just moved to halifax from san francisco (don't ask...
) and i'm so sick of having to pay exorbitant shipping fees...delias tried to charge me like, $40US to ship something that cost less than $20US. ebay is really the only place i've bought from where they don't dick you on shipping...is there anything based in canada that's not too bad?

And if not, how much is it? And does that mean I am supposed to receive an extra bill FROM the seller or from Customs Canada? What I mean by seized items are bags that are replicas like say Balenciaga, does the tax applies on the price of the authentic item or of the price you've paid? And does Customs Canada even recognize what Balenciaga bags are!? And I've also heard that if it's for personnal use, you're not *taxed*.... I don't understand, I also heard there are some ''customs brokers' fees'' which you pay to ensure that your items are not opened and that they automatically pass through!!???? 
^^^softgrey, i also had to pay customs on my net order! i also recently found out that my visa+bank charges a total of 3% on all foreign transactions for currency conversion or whatever... what am i PAYING to use their calculator? i can do it myself, thank you very much.
^kim, i'm not entirely sure about how to get them through without them being opened but i'd love to
anyway... te best thing for you to do is contact the seller regarding whether or not hte $30 is inclusive of customs and duties. it is the seller/shipper who indicates on the paperwork whether the recipient is going to be responsible for all duties and such. and say they are seized.. what they do is sometimes i believe they WILL tax you on the price of the authentic item because that's how much it's worth (to someone who can't tell the difference). now, how much you will get taxed all depends on how the paperwork is done. if the value is declared by the shipper to be over about $200 USD it will most likely be taxed, regardless if it's personal use or not cuz they say they're concerned about the value of the item. if you have them declare it as a gift then at least for the united states, the cutoff is around $100. in terms of where the cutoff is, that you'll have to call your canadian customs offices and enquire about that... but this is what is the basic procedure across the board. if the shipment is worth over $2000, for the US there is a formal declaration process involved...

I just discovered www.chicshops.com last night and I really like it -- They have a directory of really, well, chic shops. And they don't accept payments for stores to be listed, so they're not just advertising in disguise.
that they either flat out don't deliver the merch or don't deliver them within a reasonable amount of time... that they don't have any customer service to deal with it... usually it's probelms with receiving the merchandise and a lack of communication.
