The December issue of Cincinnati Magazine is out! This one was a toughie–in addition to writing a few Best of the City spots, I put together a pretty darn extensive gift guide, a fun tabletop setting with plenty of party-worthy barware, and pulled massive amounts of jewelry for both the monthly and Wedding mag (coming soon) photo shoots! Fun Facts: I visited over 30 shops to find the best of the best for the gift...

Well. That took longer than I expected. I foolishly thought I’d be able to get the redesign done in a weekend, but cascading style sheets got jokes!

I’m in dire need of a vacation and need to go to WHEREVER THIS IS I DON’T CARE...

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....
