“A: This is going to be the weirdest wedding ever. D: At least they invited Sad Panda."

I’m going to have to create a bookmark tab for shopping snark sites like Regretsy, Anthroparodie and now this tumblr site: Heavy Browsing. (Hat Tip to the always entertaining blog The Hairpin.)

Costume Designer Patricia Field received the Iconic Fashion Visionary award from Darren Star, producer of Sex and the City.

As the auctioneer Vanessa Thanos at Divine Design said, you can’t take it with you to the grave. Thankfully for Project Angel Food, the Hollywood industry crowd that came to the annual Divine Design’s fundraising gala last night was generous. The live auction rallied more than $40,000. And they are just getting started.

Exterior of The Fashion Society pop up shop.

West Hollywood shopping always was pretty good, but it  became red hot over the past few years, what with top flight designers such as Alberta Ferretti and Vivienne Westwood coming to town and high fashion shops like Arcade setting down stakes.

There’s been another pepper-spray shopping incident, 10 days after Walmart shoppers in Porter Ranch, Calif., were attacked in what was described as a case of Black Friday “shopper’s rage.”

Now, we’re hearing about a new incident, this time in a Nordstrom store in Walnut Creek, Calif. In the recent case, shoppers pepper sprayed a thief who was trying to abscond with $10,000 in purloined purses and detained him until the police arrived.

First there was Black Friday, then came Cyber Monday. This year, several retailers kicked the Holiday shopping off on Thanksgiving night, although there’s no consensus on a catchy name for it (may I suggest “Early Bird Thursday”?)

Now off-pricer Liquidnation.com is getting in on the first days of Christmas race with “Restock Tuesday.”

Watch where you surf, employees!

A new survey, released just in time for the holidays, found 60 percent of companies plan to squelch online shopping during work hours by blocking employees’ access to e-tail sites.

Brrrr....It's cold out there! So get ready for winter at La Jolla Group's Friends and Family Shopping Event. The company is hosting a 50% OFF sale at it's O'Neill - Irvine location.

Yes,  it's fantastic. Yes, I found it on The Hairpin. Yes, I wish I had that red suit. And that yellow dress. But mostly, I wish I was going to the Sept. 13 opening in London. It's sure to be fab.

For all those with a shopping addiction, hunting down the latest fashion finds has just been made a little bit easier.
