A long time web shopper, I have always been frustrated with Bloomingdales online. I never thought their site emulated the upscale look and selection Bloomies carries. To my surprise, the retailer has made an effort to refresh their face on the web. The new Bloomies has a black background, appears better organized than before, and has a more upscale allure. Check out the homepage: They have Read more

It's so hard for me to resist Marc on sale! Read more

Blaec, pronounced 'Black,' is meant to look like a brick-and-morter store with mannequins wearing outfits on the homepage - as if looking through storefront windows.

In a couple of weeks I will be going to a VIP preview of a Vivienne Westwood exhibit at the de Young museum in San Francisco. It's on a Saturday night and I'm going to get my makeup done at Sephora beforehand. Sounds like fun huh? But with fun comes the outfit dilemma. Because it's a Saturday night, and one of Britain's most daring designers, I want to wear something bold - but it is at a museum, Read more

Here is a tweed dress, that will be appropriate for at least the next couple seasons - creative Read more

Rose and Radish call themselves "a home for design" and this site definitely feels homey. Or rather, a minimal Scandinavian style home - which is exactly the look and feel of the site. Minimal, nature inspired designs reign the unique goods here and be sure to check out their Read more
