Vivre
Oh, to live a life of luxury. The catalog's site is packed with splurges for you (tunics, jeweled sandals, designer bags) and your home (martini glasses, cheese trays).
Sites We Love
EBay
It's the biggest and baddest auction site. Get antiques and collectibles and new items with the tags still attached. We're constantly finding ourselves lost in the designer handbag area.

Kate's Paperie
This New York City store earned its reputation as one of the best sources for paper goods, from invitations and boxed notecards to pens and giftwrap. Its site is as complete and inspired.
Sites We Love
Pearl River
Chinese imports are the focus of this NYC-based site. Get everything from sequin-adorned slippers (less than five bucks a pair) to lanterns and lacquered chopsticks.
Shopping
Site
One of the city's best (and least-known) new home decor emporiums—check out its cut-glass candy dishes, spiny dried sea urchins, and mushroom-shape curio shelves. From New York City's Astoria neighborhood store listing.
