If you enjoy sipping martinis in the parlor, poppin' collars, crests, tennis, argyle socks and the general country club lifestyle, then click your croquet-loving self on over to Gargyle, stat.

Born out of a love for early country club lifestyle, Gargyle aims to revive and modernize its spirit.

Think less Ralph Lauren and more Built by Wendy: younger, edgier, but still aspirational and supremely well-edited.

We're loving Valentine dresses, Samantha Pleet rompers, Giles & Brother jewelry, Lorick frocks (by the designer who ghost-designed Blair Waldorf's mom's collection on Gossip Girl -- that's a mouthful), United Bamboo and Rachel Comey shoes and Karen Walker sunnies.

There are lots of finds marked down hundreds of dollars, fitting our very non-country club budget.

Join the club here.

While we love our San Francisco flat, we don't love the no-pets rule. Especially since we've been dying to adopt an elephant for what seems like an eternity (so we have no yard, we can keep him on our rooftop!).

We'll have to appease our animal yearnings with these adorable kitchen tools instead.

The elephant dust pan and punkupine scrub brush will make cleaning less of a chore and the mouse grater, monkey peeler and beaver whisk will keep cooking -- and conversations -- interesting.

As well as low-maintenance pets, they all also make great hostess gifts.

Adopt yours here.

As spring continues to sprung and the weather continues to warm, we're starting to feel a pep in our step.

And there's no better way to feel even peppier than by treating our feet to a new pair of shoes.

Gladiator sandals, pretty pumps, sexy stilettos, ladylike ballet flats?

All of the above?

Sure, why not.

Especially since Endless is offering $20 off $100 orders on select styles right now.

No code is required, simply click this link to activate and put a spring in your step.

As always, you'll get FREE overnight shipping too, so if you order within the next few hours, you'll get your shoes tomorrow and pay nothing for shipping. Worried they won't fit or won't be what you thought? Return shipping is free and super easy too (you have a full 365 days). We love online shopping.

Most hotel shops are filled with overpriced touristy tschotkes, but W hotels are not like most hotels and neither are its stores.

Filled not only with their signature bedding, towels and robes, but also with hip design-focused goods that cater to the clientele they attract, we love that we can shop their well-edited picks without going on vacay by simply clicking over to their website.

What did we find? Jonathan Adler vases, Mimobot flash drives, Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chairs, Rachel Leigh earrings, CC Skye cuffs, Comme des Garcon wallets and more.

Plus, there are two big deals happening right now.

One, a huge up to 80% off warehouse sale. We spotted Hand Maid by Michelle Frantz bags (originally $165, now $39.99) and CC Skye buckle cuffs (originally $168, now $62.99).

Two, get 40% off with coupon code 39Y9G (does not apply to sale items).

Three, shop now!

Online designer sample sales are one of the biggest trends happening in online shopping these days.

Which is so fabulous for those of us who live for fashion, design and shopping -- specifically crowd-free shopping in our pajamas at amazingly good prices.

Bringing us some of the best designers and sales in one spot: HauteLook.

The new fashion club of sorts organizes exclusive online designer sales (one designer is featured per sale, which lasts for 12 to 48 hours, so if you find something you love be sure to snatch it up fast) with items at up to 75% off.

Think Ella Moss, Katy Rodriguez, JET and even a Decades sale featuring Chanel and Prada handbags, Frankie B and Dittos.

It's totally free to join and for each friend you invite, HauteLook will credit your account with $10 after his/her first purchase. So spread the love, ladies and gents.

BussBuss readers are invited to sign up with this link now at HauteLook and tomorrow you can score McQ Alexander McQueen at huge, haute savings.

Psst...Under the sponsor email/code tab, enter editor@bussbuss.com to let HauteLook know BussBuss sent you and to help keep us out of our pajamas. Smooches!

Have you been la-lusting over a statement-making sofa, chair, ottoman or headboard at Anthropologie?

So have we.

Which is why we're thrilled that now through April 30, 2008, we can enjoy 25% off during Anthro's spring upholstery event.

Make a statement. Save a bundle.

Take a peek.

Easter means lots of things to lots of people, but one thing it means to us is candy.

So we're celebrating with a virtual stroll of Candy Store Collective.

And we've got a sweet tooth for Kuhn Keramik's ceramic latte bowls, glazed in pale ice-creamy hues and adorned with vintage line drawings of pigs, beds, bees and trains. In a word: sweet.

We're also oddly drawn to Laura McKibbon's six shooter dish -- perhaps it's the mix of the hard subject matter with the soft pastely hues.

Find more sweet ceramics by faves like Alyssa Ettinger, jewelry, paper, decor and more when you pop into Candy Store collective.

If you love Etsy, chances are you're going to la-lurve Supermarket, too.

Featuring great design directly from the designers, you can literally spend hours treasure hunting everything from wall graphics to jewelry to art, gifts, stationery, home decor and just about everything your independent-design-loving self can handle.

We're weak in the knees over Three sheets 2 the wind's lovely linen pillows and art and gorgeously simple placemats by 12fifteen paper goods.

And we love the simplicity of Austin-based jewelry designer Anne Kiel's hammered stacking rings and the fabulously modern burst of bold color via her satellite rings -- just perfect for spring.

Unearth your favorite treasures at Supermarket.

How are you celebrating St. Patty's Day?

By chugging green beer? By going green and buying a Prius?

You'll find us taking Fred Flare up on their one-day-only offer of 25% off with code green at checkout (excluding sale items).

We're faithful Fred devotees so are happy to have an excuse to shop, plus the timing is perfect to scoop up cute gifts for next Sunday's holiday -- yup, Easter is that soon.

See how to save and shop here.

Bored by big box stores and yearning to shake things up?

Click on over to Mod Cloth, featuring one-of-a-kind vintage and vintage-inspired looks from independent and up-and-coming designers.

You'll also find great accessories, jewelry, bags, shoes and home decor, all at incredibly reasonable prices.

Think of it as an indie Urban Outfitters meets Fred Flare.

We're loving the Tilly Bloom antique typewriter necklace, Anna Sui tights, lace ankle socks, graphic houndstooth scarf in pink and grey, Dreams of Paris pillowcases, Moniker Clothing's snip and shear tee and Architecture booties -- a mix between sandals and ankle boots.

Find your own favorites here!

We can resist a good cupcake just about as well as we can resist good design. Which is to say not at all.

And why would we want to?

Hitting on both of our loves? Jessie Steele's delectable cupcake apron.

Part of her just revealed spring/summer line, we are la-loving the heirloom-quality designer hostess apron and think it would make a darling Easter, Mother's Day, birthday or hostess gift.

There are coordinating tea towels and potholders, too.

Take a peek!

P.S. Our fave cupcakerie? San Francisco's own Kara's Cupcakes, specifically the Chocolate Velvet. In a word: yum.

We hope you appreciate and take advantage of our obsessive online shopping disorder.

On our latest stroll of the fabulous world wide shopping web, we popped in at Kate Spade and were happily surprised when we hit the shoe section.

Why?

Because of this quiet proclamation: "Purchase one pair of shoes and enjoy 50% off your second pair."

One.

Two.

We love you.

Take a peek!

p.s. Ends March 17, 2008.

For those bad hair days.

Because you deserve more than your baseball cap is giving you.

To keep you warm on winter-into-spring nights.

To embrace the bohemian luxury vibe of the season.

Hats off to you.

We've sprung forward and are giddy about the extra hour of daylight.

To play.

To explore.

To adventure.

To be.

This spring, bloom where you're planted.

Right now, we're seeing the world in black and white.

Timeless. Modern. Eternally chic.

We love black and white.

It looks great on everyone and in every space. From fashion to interiors, be inspired by our favorite black and white pieces of the season.

Take a peek!

We're back -- and revived -- from a much needed spring break and missed you bunches.

And we're thrilled that we're back in time for the season finale of Project Runway tonight.

We don't know about you, but we love Jillian (she reminds us of the female Daniel Vosovic) and Christian (in a word, he's fierce).

Whatever your style leanings, you can bid on your favorite Project Runway pieces on ProjectRunway.com.

Currently, you can bid on Chris and Sweet P's collections and then, after the finale tonight, you'll be able to bid on Rami, Jillian and Christian's original pieces from their final Fashion Week collections as well.

Get your credit cards and cursors ready and feel good that a portion of the proceeds will benefit The HOPE Program, which aids homeless and welfare-dependent adults in career development.
