    Walking into the jewelry section of most retail stores can be a bit overwhelming for most, myself included. I rarely buy jewelry because of it, actually, and I have sadly kept the same few pieces in rotation for years. Thank goodness JewelMint is here to change that all.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, it appears as if Amazon.com is the latest corporation to jump on the ever-so-popular flash sale bandwagon. Amazon.com’s venture, Myhabit.com, launched on Tuesday and is already proving to be competition to the heavy hitters such as Gilt and Ideeli. The first day of sales included discounted items from Doo.Ri, Badgley Mischka, and Kenneth Jay Lane, not to mention closing out their first week with designers such as Elizabeth and James, Loeffler Randall, and Rebecca Minkoff. My Habit is hitting the ground running.

  • Nothing gets me going quite like a 90% off sign. Add in eco-conscious companies and I’d tell you no better match was ever made. Thankfully for me (and you!) such a thing actually exists through the likes of purecitizen.com

  • “Don’t worry, you’ll be able to wear this dress again!” is the trite line all bridesmaids have heard time and time again. Honestly, though, how many of your bridesmaid dresses have you actually worn again? The count is still at zero for myself.

  • Imagine if you had an outfit for every day of the year! Well, according to 365 Hangers this may be possible. Each item is only on sale for 24 hours, thus the name 365 Hangers. Every day brings a new article of clothing just begging to be the latest addition to your closet.

  • Shopping for accessories can be a bit overwhelming for most, especially with the constantly changing plethora of trends.

  • Looking for the next big designer? Look no further than FashionStake.com. Launched in September 2010, FashionStake is a burgeoning website dedicated to exposing new independent designers.
