It's 9am on a Wednesday, and an engagement you're supposed to make an appearance at is the same evening. At the office and unable to take the day off to go shopping, you realize your options are limited: attend the event in the same item you wore to work that day (which is decidedly unfabulous) or somehow manage to use your lunch hour to scour the racks at either a local department store or boutique. While women across the country may face this dilemma quite often, Manhattanites no longer face such quandries. Net-a-porter.com, home of all things fabulous (McQ by Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Matthew Williamson, and Catherine Malandrino, among others) now gives customers in Manhattan the option of receiving their merchandise the same day.

The same day delivery option comes in tandem with other Net-a-porter good news: the website now ships from the U.S., which means you get your Louboutins in about two business days, and you don't have to deal with exchange rates and duty fees. Sound too good to be true? It's not! Just check out Net-a-porter.com for details.
