Chintz Is Back, Best Buys and Ooh La La Louboutin

Our picks to click this week:

Style Court ( http://www.stylecourt.blogspot.com) posts on the return of chintz (is this a good thing?) and a "new" It fabric: a zebra-stripe silk from the early 1990s ("Illusion" by Jim Thompson).

Shelterrific ( http://www.shelterrific.com) dishes on current winter sales with picks from each store.

Take a peek inside the countryside chateau of shoe-designer-to-the-stars Christian Louboutin at This Is Glamorous ( http://www.citified.blogspot.com). As with his stilettos, there's lots of red.
