I recently heard about the Zappos Real Time Shoe Map , and thought I’d share this interestesting new tool that melds technology with fashion choices. The Zappos map tracks in real time items from Zappos.com are being purchased and from where via a pop up over the city with an image of the product purchased. Invasive? Not really. A helpful marketing tool? Possibly. Of course, if you like what you see, you can just click on the image and it’ll take you to the Zappos.com page so that you can buy it too. Of course there’s the occasional apparel item that pops up, but the site is primarily a footwear merchant. I watched the map for about 10 minutes, and it seemed that from the styles that it indicated there were a lot of 40-something, more suburban Moms buying shoes at the moment. Unfortunately, a lot of hideous white chunky sneakers were being purchased, along with some relatively dated mule and loafer styles. It’s definitely a cool concept, and I’d love to see other sites, like Nordstrom.com or Amazon.com adapt a similar mapping strategy.

As the jelly trend is rapidly accelerating for spring/summer, the Tory Burch Jelly Reva Flats, $95 at Shopbop.com caught my eye as the perfect way to get a hold of the trend in a style that you know you’ll wear over and over again. Plus, compared to the actual price for a pair of the TB Reva flats, these could be considered quite the deal!

Sometimes the best things in life are free–but if you can’t do free, then why not go for this Floral Cluster Bead Ring, that at $4.80, is not too far from it! I’m prettymuch smitten by the color selections, but ended up with the red one and have been getting a ton of compliments since its acquisition less than a week ago. I like it on the ring or middle finger, and keeping the rest of my jewelry relatively simple in comparison; thin strips of chains dangling from my ears or a simple thin chain, no longer than 18 inches, with a small pendant around my neck. Just remember: it’s okay to channel the over-the-top flamboyance of the ’80s jewelry, but please dear, don’t relive them!
