In My Copious Free Time

Endless Love

The digital monolith that is Amazon, the biggest, baddest Bad Influence of them all, has launched a shoe and handbag specialty site. Endless features FREE overnight shipping, free return shipping, 365-day returns, 110% price guarantee and a hefty list of brands from which to choose.

All that is great, right? Well, it ain't nothin' compared to this site's real genius. Endless has a interface that is...I really don't have words to describe it. It's that good. Want a pair of shoes? You can refine your search in any number of ways. Want to look for boots? Great - select boots. But what if you just want black or grey boots? Click on those colors to refine your search. You say BCBG Max Azria and Bandolino are your favorite lines? Narrow it to just find boots from those makers. Oh, and narrow it down to your size so it doesn't show you anything that won't fit you.

Another amazing thing about the site is its images. Mouse over the image of a shoe or bag. Instantly you get a zoom image that floats based on where you mouse. No pop-up windows for detailed views; no slowly-resolving zoom-ins. It is incredible.

Of course, I haven't ordered anything from them yet. (Give me a break, I've already done a lot of shopping lately and they just launched two days ago.) I think I did manage to BI someone into a handbag I found on the site, though. And I'm not sure when I will order something -- I might just so I can see what their service is like. But it's mighty hard to ignore the call of my 14% cash back through Lucky Rewards from Zappos.

Go forth and shop.

Darth Data

This might be one of the cutest USB drives, ever:

Unfortunately, it isn't available until January, but how cute is this? Not the cheapest data storage option at $80 for 1GB and $120 for 2GB, but the kitsch factor is off the charts. From Star Wars Shop.

Brilliant. Absolutely bloody brilliant.

And I mean that with every bit of sincerity I can possibly muster.

The Doorganizer:

Calories: 1 Style goodness: immeasurable

Does it get any cuter than this? (I'm sure it does, but stay with me.) It's pink. It's sterling. It has pop culture appeal. It's throwback. Okay, so it's also $88. I didn't say it was perfect.

Ooh La La, Indeed

Attention all girly-girls, clothes horses and all-around prisses...

If, on visiting this site, you do not exclaim "Oh my god, that is So!Cute!" at least three times, well, then you must be dead inside.

I do not need new purple shoes.

Fashionistas and bag-o-philes

I love this site -- so much eye candy, such good ideas.

And for the truly bag-obsessed, try this. Also fun is this one, which mixes in a little celeb dish every once in a while. (Love the picture of Jessica Simpson giving the ring finger.) Oh, what the hell, here's another one.

Things I love this week

The non-shoe items:
The foofy blouse would look great with some jeans and a cord blazer. And that skirt -- I'm such a sucker for ribbon. Note all images link to the appropriate sites. I am inordinately proud of that fact. :roll eyes:

The shoe items:
These belong to me now, each in the brown variety pictured.

Things I Desire

My Antropologie wish list is growing out of control. Reason #87 I love this place:

They're called Sabrina

But they are saying, "Tara....oh, Tara. Come on, you know you want us."
