Search results conveniently pop up as a series of thumbnails displayed on the same page, and the "featured looks" pagesguides to how to dress like Drew Barrymore, Sienna Miller, America Ferrera and other celebs/style iconsare well designed, with tools that link you to where to buy Halle Berry's two-button blazer, let you request a sales alert via email or tell a friend about it. Featured stores include many of our favorites, like shopbop.com, Bluefly and Piperlime, the Gap's new shoe shop. ShopStyle, another chic shopping hub, lets users post images and links to items they like, and the SheFinds section (written by the site's fashion editor) offers outfit guides and trend alerts. The hot swimsuit this season: the monokini.
Our 2007 picks are the best examples of what's new and exciting about the Web right now. Here we honor sites with exceptional style and smarts, sites that offer new and improved ways to access and share content, generate our own and otherwise enrich the online (and off-line) experience.
