Shop Intuition
Created as a "general store for fashionistas" by shopper-for-the-stars Jaye Hersh, Shop Intuition serves as part celebrity style-watch, part upscale boutique, intent on carrying the must-have items of the moment. Categories range from Handbags & Totes to Tops & Tunics. There's even a separate "Target Couture" page. Another e-tailer for fashion-forward types, and evidence that there is a way to sell high-end labels online: Net-a-Porter.com, where items range from a Vera Wang spaghetti strap dress in black lace ($805) to a Missoni babydoll top in purple silk satin ($1,288).
