Not that we think actual, physical shopping is obsolete or anything, but the latest cool, new crop of online retailers have us feeling less and less inclined to brave the bustling insanity of the oncoming holiday madness. From high-end designers with brand-spankin' new websites, to exclusively online boutiques and consignment destinations, take a look at our latest crop of e-commerce stores—shopper's remorse, be damned!

Alexander Wang, http://shop.alexanderwang.com/
Alex's is definitely one of the coolest looking websites around (are you surprised?). Designed by Sweden (Proenza Schouler is also a client) Alex Wang's new e-commerce store carries his shirts, bags, and completely obsess'able shoes.

Loeffler Randall, www.loefflerrandall.com
At last! This long-awaited e-commerce site has finally arrived...and just in time for us to be spending extra $ on everyone else!
