A shopping search engine? Who knew?

Hi all, 

I know that it’s been a while, and I’ve neglected you shamefully.  Apologies all around.

Anyway…

I’ve discovered  - wait for it – a shopping search engine!  It’s called Shopwiki.  Pretty exciting stuff.   What I really like about this site is that regardless of whether the store that you are looking for has paid Shopwiki or not, you will find it there.  Good stuff.  I also like the way the site is organized.  I have yet to find a shopping search engine that organizes according to and actually gives you tips on spring style.  Well, I’ve found one.  Full steam ahead.  

Also, loving the fact that there are actual articles on each item.  Such as, say men’s pants.  This section not only explained each aspect of pants but what occasion it should be accentuated for and how to get that “polished look”.   My favorite line was definitely “Baggy pants  are rarely a good idea unless you have your own Rap label”.  So, so true.  Men, take notes!  They have a great section on clothing for men.  They also have a section on career clothing for men – business casual, casual, conservative, etc.  It’s well-done, and let’s face it, so many men need that kind of advice.

For women I love how they offer articles on trends and style.  And they have a section on piecing together outfits, which I think is quite necessary.  I’ve definitely seen women having trouble in that department.
