Boutiques.com Review!

Thank goodness my friend (she of chic blogger-dom) reminded me about the Google-owned www.boutiques.com- it launched on Wednesday- or I would have forgotten all about it! I just registered and took the style quiz to create my own boutique and I am happy to report that it is fun! I could easily spend hours on there honing my preferences and looking at the other boutiques.

It was interesting to see what they categorized your style as (mine was actually pretty accurate!) and I loved looking at the boutiques of celebrities like Carey Mulligan and well-known bloggers like Jane Aldridge. My only complaint was the lack of variety in my "recommendations" section. Everything seemed to be black or of 3 specific brands, but I think once I start saving more preferences, I should get more variety.... we shall see!

I also looked at style.com's photos of the launch party and was pleased to see some of my favorite fashionable ladies:

Have you gone to boutiques.com yet? Let me know what you think if you do, and find me under TheChambrayCountess! Happy Shopping and Happy Monday!

  1. I haven't taken a spin by boutiques yet...but it's on my to-do once the madness of the week calms down. I'm really curious to see what it's all about!!

  2. Haven't checked it out, but may have to give it a spin when I have a little more time on my hands!!

  3. I checked in on it today and there are already more boutiques created by other users! There are still some kinks to be worked out, though- like only a few of my "favorites" display in my boutique... which makes it look like two white shirts are my only apparel preferences...
    I am interested to see how it evolves!

  4. I tried it out, & it wasn't my new favorite thing, but maybe it will get better! I agree about it thinking I only like to wear black. ;)
