Social Shopping Sites

Sometimes, shopping isn’t so much about buying stuff (I said, sometimes) as much as it is about social interaction. There’s nothing better than gossiping and catching up with good friends while browsing through clothing racks. Enter Couture Society, an online social shopping site that basically lets you shop and socialize—all virtually.

Offering major retailers including Bloomingdales, ShopBop, BlueFly, Macy’s and Saks 5th Ave, Couture Society allows users to search and browse through their favorite brands’ offerings all the while interacting with friends online. As users shop, they can build wish lists, put their faves on their personal style profiles, and share their fashion finds and opinions with friends using a built-in chat function or via Facebook or Twitter. Now there’s no more reason to leave the house!
