If you’re not checking out the newest blogger on the scene, S.S. Fair (A.K.A. T Magazine’s Samurai Shopper), I don’t know what you’re doing. S.S. and I are friends IRL and she’s one of my favorite dishing, dinner, drink, nails and shopping companions.

She’s quite the shopping Nostradamus: Always gliding well under the radar, she knows what will be hot years from now and where to get it, even when “where” is the tiniest, most obscure locale on the planet. And in her inaugural post, she’s telling you HOW to get what’s hip with her guide to competitive holiday shopping.

Drop on in and learn a thing or two.
