So this seems pretty neat:  ShopStoree.com brings a bit of the in-store experience to online shopping by showing you each shop's merchandise in it's natural retail habitat. The visuals are the trick here: the interior of each store (not just individual products) is shown via a series of colorful, inviting photos. Hovering over the black dots that appear on the images brings up the details (designer, price, etc.) of each piece--which you can then order. I
