Let's be honest, I get alot of emails about shopping. My inbox is filled with sale alerts, trend-watches and product launches. So much so, that I rarely read all said emails- even the ones I really like (I'm talking to you, "Who, What, Wear")! For some reason one caught my eye the other day titled "Escape to the Hamptons". Maybe I'm still on a Hamptons high from Super Saturday or maybe I need a vacation, but I was dying to know what was inside! What I found were some road-trip-esque snapshots accompanied by suggestions on what to pack for a weekend away, and I was happy to see Boston-based designer Daniela Corte in the pack! The email came from the website "Shoptiques"; a site that brings the "boutique shopping experience online". Created with the thought that everyone should have access to unique and expressive apparel, they boast boutique styles from New York to LA and will soon be expanding to international territory. I absolutely love the idea that I can get up-and-coming designers without even leaving my zip code! Now about that vacation...
