These days nobody is shopping very much. Nobody. I was at the mall yesterday and it was a ghost town. People are just not shopping.

But as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. The good news is that if you do need to buy just about anything, this is a terrific time to shop.

We’re living in an on-demand world these days. Sometimes it can be really hard to deal with the reality of something that may not be available exactly when, where and how we want it. I had a stunning and harsh brush with reality not too long ago while shopping for dining room chairs. The salesperson turned to me and smiled. “8 to 12 weeks”, he said. Forget that! They weren’t even custom chairs and they weren’t even the exact chairs I had in mind. I want design on demand. Don’t you?

More than one kind of apple is in season right now. Along with the fall bushels of Gala, Golden Delicious, Grannie Smith and Mount Fuji delights, a new crop is ripe for the picking at the Apple Store 
.
The completely refreshed MacBook line was unveiled today at Apple’s “Spotlight Turns to Notebooks” event. The all new MacBook boasts tons of exciting new features including:

- Plus, MacBook and MacBook Pro are now equipped with a new smooth glass Multi-Touch trackpad that gives users almost 40 percent more tracking area than before, making it even easier to use Multi-Touch gestures like pinch, rotate and swipe!

Hats and caps are big this season. Berets too. Which we love. There’s nothing like a beret to add a funky French twist to your fall look.
Women: Chunky knit beret - gray
This soft, chunky and slightly floppy beret is just classic enough to be totally versatile and just funky enough to be totally on trend.
And it’s a total bargain, too. Only $29.50 at Gap.com 
.
Also available in a nice golden tan color.
FYI, they’ve got a pretty adorable and affordable hat selection this season. Definitely worth checking out.

This is the age of the cupcake! Gourmet cupcakes are everywhere. And for good reason. Nothing’s more satisfying and mood enhancing than that simple little self contained bundle of perfection that is the cupcake. At once retro and modern. These days nothing beats the cupcake when it comes to a festive treat. The only downside: It can be a real pain to provide cupcake bliss for a loved one. There are cupcake bakeries sprouting up all over the place and well established cupcake specialists in big cities like New York and Chicago often have block-long lines. Unless you are planning on buying a huge quantity of cupcakes, most places won’t take a special order - so by the time you get to the head of the line your cupcake of choice might be gone for the day. I hate when that happens! I wanted red velvet with cream cheese frosting for a birthday dinner not too long ago and by the time I stopped at the cupcake shop at only about 2 in the afternoon they were sold out! I hate when that happens. I won’t have to worry about that happening again. Next time I absolutely need cupcakes I’m going to have them brought directly to me with Everything Cupcake 
, the newest product line from 1-800-FLOWERS.COM
.
And in honor of their new venture, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM has come up with a totally fun and lower calorie twist on the traditional cupcake.
How cute is that!
And, of course, not only do we know exactly where to get everything - we’ve always got the inside scoop on how to get it for less!

Fine, handcrafted limited edition footwear featuring original creations by house designers from some of the greatest fashion houses of our time: Versace, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Dolce & Gabbana and others. Each pair is something new, different and exciting.
Te Casan by GianLuca Soldi Women’s Goya Ankle Boot 
I’m a huge fan of this hot little suede ankle boot, designed by Gianluca Soldi of Alexander McQueen. The perfect shoe-boot for after 5, also fabulous with jeans or leather pants.
Te Casan by Zoe Lee Women’s Petal Pump
Zoe Lee (of Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen) is the creator of this fabulous little number. A classic leather pump updated with a sassy suede collar. She’s also come up with some boots with a similar twist. Oh-so-original!
And that’s just a teeny tiny sample! The point of the story is that if you love truly fine footwear and crave original style, then Te Cesan at Endless.com is definitely your cup of tea.

It’s cold outside and the days are shorter and it’s more important now than any time of year to bring the sunshine and brightness of summer into the house. And what better way to do that than with plants and flowers?
This is a great time of year to send flowers and plants. As a hostess gift. A thank you gift. A housewarming gift. Or just because. It’s like sending someone a little dose of much needed sunshine.
And if you happen to be a last minute shopper, keep Flowers Across America 
in mind as they specialize in same day delivery.

Truth be told I’m not one of those super hero / cartoon character / anime crazy fans, although I do enjoy the old Batman TV show from the sixties. So campy and cool!
But there’s one vintage anime cartoon that I love more than any other. A leading man I adore so much that he’s my superhero of choice - Speed Racer. I just love him! So cool. So suave. So perfect. I’ve got a Speed Racer cookie jar. I got it at a movie / memorabilia / antiques store in LA at least 10 years ago. I’ve never seen anything like it before or since. Until now. It’s Speed Racer collectible heaven at SpeedRacer.com
