With the thermometer starting to dip here on the east coast during this final shopping rush to find the perfect presents and party wear, I?ve become a huge fan of online shopping from the coziness of my home.

This is just one of the reasons why I?m so excited to announce the opening of the Shoebuy boutique found on the second floor of the Zwinchester. The folks over at Shoebuy.com put together an amazing assortment of brands and styles that will ensure you and your Zwinky are dressed to impress well into the New Year. That?s right, you can buy the same shoes for you and your Zwinky!

I promise you, this new boutique will really having you dancing for joy -- seriously!! Purchasing an "exclusive" pair of shoes in the Shoebuy boutique (with your ZCard) will allow your Zwinky to perform an action or dance specific to that brand. While wearing the exclusive shoes, hover over your avatar and click on the beach ball to activate your new moves.

New shoes, dancing, and online shopping ? three fabulous ways to stay warm and stylish this winter!
