WEAR WOLF: Click on Couture

Live in Cleveland Park and need to make a quick dash over to Rodeo Drive? Not a problem, thanks to Rodeo Drive Resale, a Sherman Oaks, California, couture consignment shop with a snazzy and user-friendly Web site. RDR gets shipments of new and pre-owned high-end designer items several times daily from film studios, celebrities, and others. You'll be dazzled by the styles (and often the prices) of the dresses, like this new Sue Wong green sequin design ($283.50, $94.50 off the original price).

But there are also tops, coats, skirts, jeans, sets, and suits, like this Yves Saint Lauren in gray ($269).

And don't forget RDR's accessories, cosmetics, shoes, watches, and jewelry. This new, multi-strand custom necklace of brown stones and Austrian crystal, for instance, sells for $69.99.

If you're stuck for a gift idea for your wife or girlfriend, another California boutique online, Think Her!, might have some ideas for you. Clothing includes intimates; tanks and tees; and robes, slippers, and pajamas, like this fun P.J. Salvage animal-print set ($57).

In addition to a wide array of accessories, Think Her! has great gift packages, and a "Choose Her Style" page to help you narrow down your selections. The Kitchen Lover ($74), for example, includes ginger and Sicilian lemon chef soap, kitchen spray, and candle; stainless steel basket; hand repairing cream in a terra cotta container; and purifying liquid hand soap in a glass bottle.

You can shop by price or designer, and know that $1 of each gift package or 10 percent of signature merchandise will go to breast-cancer research.
