How Do You Prefer to Holiday Shop?

GeekSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:15:25 -0800

While perusing the news, I noticed two seemingly conflicting stories right beside each other on the same site. The headlines: "Online Retail Thriving This Holiday Season" and "A Site to Help People Shop Online Attracts Investors."

The two articles aren't actually contradictory, the first is a welcome optimistic look at the future of e-commerce with Forrester Research reporting that most online retailers turned a profit in 2008 as business continues to grow. The second article profiles a new site called Milo, which allows you to enter your location and the name of a product you're looking for, and it delivers a list of nearby retail stores where you can find the item. Milo's business model operates on the "instant gratification" theory - you don't want to wait for an item you order, you want to find it right away.

I tend to prefer a mix of online and retail store shopping, depending on the item and what's convenient. What about you?

Casa Shops: Taigan

CasaSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:00:41 -0800

As the list of online designer sample sales grows, a new web shop has opened with a slightly different business plan. Taigan is a community of over 30 (and growing) specialty shops, boutiques, and galleries nationwide for members only. The site offers access to small, upscale shops in cities as far and wide as Chattanooga, TN and Aspen, CO, which may not otherwise have an ecommerce site.

Taigan gets its name from a rare hunting dog which is said to have "a discerning eye and keen sense of awareness," an analogy for the company, which hunt for all things little-known and beautiful around the country. Purveyor of art, antiques, home décor, fashion, and jewelry you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere online, Taigan does seem to have a card up its sleeve. But, after your 14-day trial is complete, membership costs $15 a month or $165 per year. For the average shopper, I'm not sure the cost is justifiable, but it certainly might be worth it for an interior designer.

Celeb Style: Rachel Bilson

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:00:22 -0800

While checking out the latest goods in a shop at The Grove in LA, Rachel Bilson donned a comfy yet cute ensemble. Her black cardi and bubble mini would be plain on their own, so she made sure to accessorize with fun elements. Her galactic scarf adds a burst of color, while Ray-Bans and tough See by Chloe boots inject a dose of badass. A yummy Chanel bag completes her rad look.

Perfect-fit cardigan - $39.50	Fab Chiffon Bubble Skirt - $10.50
Husky Scarf - $48.00	See by Chloe Wrap-Around Strap Ankle Boots - $495.00
UO Sheer Tights - $12.00	Ray-ban - $129.00
New Yorker Tote Bag By Marc B** - $98.00	Rhinestone Mound Ring - $4.80

I'm Gearing Up For Hot Black Friday Deals From Target

GeekSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:33:08 -0800

If you're headed out to get your Black Friday shop on this week and are in need of some game action, you better check out Target first!

I love my Xbox 360, and my favorite big-box store is offering up their stock of Elite Black Xbox 360s in a few choice bundles. You can pick up the 120GB version with a controller and two games (Pure and Lego Batman) for $300. If you need a bit more for your buck, pick up the Call of Duty bundle which includes the 250GB black Xbox 360, two controllers and your own copy of Call of Duty for $400. Bonus - each bundle comes with a $50 Target gift card!

To see what other Target deals I have my eye on, just read more.

Ricky Gervais - Love Him or Leave Him?

BuzzSugar — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:30:57 -0800

Ricky Gervais is trying his hand at yet another workplace-centered TV comedy! The soon-to-be Golden Globes host and scribe behind The Office is lending his talents to PhoneShop, which follows a guy working at a phone store at the mall. Mundane jobs are Gervais's specialty, so it's bound to be hilarious - but for now, it's only set to air in the UK.

I've always taken a liking to Gervais, between The Office, Extras, and the fact that he keeps popping up at various awards shows. I've also seen him perform his stand-up routine live, so I guess I may be a bigger fan than most people.

What's your take on the guy? Are you obsessed with him (and his brand of humor), or is he not your cup of tea?
