While we are all style-minded, each of us gals at Shop It To Me has our own unique philosophy when it comes to fashion. So you can get to know us better, we’d like to break it down for you!

Tamra: Dress like champagne: chic, optimistic, palatable!

Natalie: I’m clothing-budget challenged.

Francie: Everything looks better with heels.

Laura: Think outside the (shoe) box.

Kelly: I prefer classic to trendy.

Angel: Mix and match the unexpected.

Welcome our new team member Rafael to Shop It To Me!

Rafael brings to the team a love of puzzles, skiing, cycling and all-out action flicks like the Bourne series. At 6′3″, he also gives the team’s collective average height a nice little boost. Score!

When he’s not shopping it to you, you might catch Rafael at one of his favorite Bay Area spots – Zachary’s Pizza, The Cheeseboard, Pluto’s, Jupiter, or any place with a great view.

Welcome to our Shop It To Me home, Rafael!

Hi readers! I’m Kelly and I am one of the newest additions to the team here in San Francisco (along with the wonderful Angel and Jason)!

I had the opportunity to see When In Rome with some of our San Francisco Shop It To Me members this week. It was great to meet everyone who came out – I hope you all enjoyed the movie!

While I was hesitant to expect much from the latest chick flick, I really enjoyed the funny,  though slightly corny, romantic comedy. The adorable Kristin Bell and gorgeous Josh Duhamel made a captivating onscreen pair, as much as she tries to resist him. Much of the movie takes place in Rome, so the movie setting is equally easy on the eyes.

I was thrilled with the cast! There were so many surprise appearances from some of my favorite actors, including Mel (Kristen Schaal) from Flight of the Conchords, Napoleon (Jon Heder) from Napoleon Dynamite, “GOB” (Will Arnette) from Arrested Development and Anjelica Huston (more movies than I can count) to name a few. (I don’t want to spoil them all). The quirky supporting roles and unexpected guest appearances really helped make the movie. I have to say, there were more than a few times that the entire theater burst into laughter.

My verdict: It is definitely a chick flick: Beautiful young girl searching for love with a to-die -for job in NYC- check; Sexy heartthrob who wants to sweep her off her feet – you betcha;  A wardrobe to lust after – absolutely. While When In Rome does have all the elements of your typical “girls night out” movie, its lighthearted take on love is a refreshing escape from the real world.

As a special perk for our members – If you are living in the San Francisco area, we are giving away FREE tickets to an advanced screening happening this Wednesday, January 27!!!! (Extra perk because the movie doesn’t come out until Friday the 29th!)  Just post a blog response if you are interested and we can set up tickets for you and a friend. Limited quantities, so first come, first served!

It’s been a big year. As we say “goodbye” to 2009 we can’t help but reminisce a bit. We’ve added new features and brands, had fun with contests and giveaways on our blog, and so much more! Here are a few Shop It To Me highlights from the past year…

Finished your Salemail and still want more? Shop It To Me introduced Sale Spot in February – perfect for when you need to buy something specific, right that minute.

Movie lovers and Fashionistas united when Shop It To Me gave away tickets to the “Confessions of a Shopaholic” premiere.

In April, we introduced Trendsetter Thursdays! And how we have come to love these weekly guest post from our Shop It To Me Trendsetters. Our blog wouldn’t be the same without them!

We gave away tickets to the advanced screening of “The Proposal” – the romantic comedy with Ryan Renolds and Sandra Bullock (who rocked Louis Vuitton luggage, great accessories, and some mighty fine Louboutin heels).

Shop It To Me had some killer coverage, including a feature on NBC Philadelphia, an article in the Wall Street Journal, and a segment on “How to Fake Being Rich” on the Today Show!

Some of our awesome giveaways included a Marc Jacobs bag, an iPhone, another MJ bag, and Christian Louboutins (or a $500 gift card for the guys).

In July, we added Sunglasses as a new category. From Oliver Peoples to Tom Ford, you can now find the hottest designer shades in your Salemail!

Tamra got married! If you missed them, be sure to check out the gorgeous photos from when her and her husband, Ron, tied the knot back in August here!

Not only did we add dozens of new brands to our ever-growing list, but we partnered with some awesome retailers this year as well! You can now browse sales from The Outnet, C&C California, Neiman Marcus, and many more!

So many brands to choose from! We added Personalized Designer Suggestions for our female subscribers, recommending brands to you based on picks from others with a similar sense of fashion.

Shop It To Me introduced “New On The Scene”, adding a stellar new site or chic boutique to Salemail each week.

We had our Battle of the Brands contest, with 5 rounds pitting pairs of brands against each other and hundreds of votes. The winner (drumroll please) – BCBG!

And lets not forget our Black Friday and Cyber Monday special edition Salemails featuring the hottest deals around!

It’s been an exciting year, alright. But the fun doesn’t stop with the end of the decade! Stay tuned for even more 2010 excitement.

XOXO,

Your Friends at Shop It To Me
