Get it? Like window shopping, but on the computer, online, so WINDOWS shopping? Ugh. Puns.
One of my favorite activities is window shopping online. This is what I did 80% of the time at my old job. Ok, not 80%, but most of my spare time was spent browsing the racks of my favorite shopping sites. I thought I would shout them out here. Also, this helps people who ever want to buy me a gift. I always welcome gifts. I loooove gifts.
(Speaking of, thank you Stacy for my new Allure mag flip flops! I’m wearing them right now and they are remarkably comfortable for flip flops. Love ‘em!)
First of all, in my list of shopping, Lucky Mag has a WONDERFUL list of online stores… well worth going through when you have hours to kill at your DEJ (Dead End Job).

But here is my trimmed down list of stores:
www.swimoutlet.com
Everything you need for the pool, beach, or even a really deep tub… it’s all up to the minute styles (not last season or irregular), brand names (speedo, tyr, splish, etc), deeply discounted! They also carry fashion swimwear and cover ups, in addition to competitive and fitness suits. There is also a virtual model you can create to your body’s specifications to try on the suits! The suit I want there, I happen to know is 76 dollars on the Speedo website, is 58 dollars here.
(Aside: On the British Speedo site, aka www.speedo.com… Comme Des Garcons is doing a line! What?!)

My friends Cindy and Cindy started this super cute, super hip lingerie store in NYC. I can attest that these girls are always 3 steps ahead of me in the fashion world. I guess that is NYC in general though. Anyway, their store is the BEST collection of not just sexy and everyday lingerie, but adorable dresses and bikinis and other fashion treats by really wonderful labels like Puella and Charlotte Ronson. They also have GREAT sales. I always feel effortlessly chic in their stuff, which is the point, right?
www.anthropologie.com
It’s pretty impossible to go wrong with this site/store
Always something cute and cool here… and good sales at these super rad stores:
www.80spurple.com
www.shopbop.com
www.karmaloop.com

For pro makeup. The ADesign brush collection is THE BEST collection out there. Little insider tip, these are the same brushes that top makeup lines (like Bobbi Brown, etc) buy, then put their name on. Get the whole set of 18 brushes here for $250. Note: Bobbi Brown brushes run $225 for 8 brushes.
www.makeupmania.com
Again, pro makeup store. Really cute and easy design. My favorite feature from this site is the ability to create your own palette! No more 1/2 fantastic, totally usable colors, 1/2 total crap, no one would ever wear that, colors.
Also, please consider registering on www.igive.com to do your online shopping. Pretty much every major store (target, amazon, gap, sports authority, bluefly, sephora, drugstore.com, etc) participates with this site, to donate a percentage of your purchase to your favorite charity. May I suggest Petsave Foundation?
Okay, that should get you through your Tuesday!
xxxooo
