Shopping...A Click Away!

According to WWD, more contemporary shoppers are buying on the Web, whether for a deal from Bluefly.com or the new young designer collection from Shopbop.com.

Online sales of apparel, accessories and footwear are projected to total $22.1 billion this year, up from $18.3 billion in 2006, according to a Shop.org report.

The study revealed that 10 percent of all apparel sales will be made online this year, compared with 8 percent last year. The increase was attributed to more retailers launching shopping Web sites and just maybe fashion blogs like Tres Chic Style, Fashion Binge, The Fashion Bomb, Kristopher Dukes, and The Budget Fashionista had a little to do with it.........
