Report: Google Readies E-Commerce to Compete with Amazon
With Cyber Monday sales at an all-time high, and e-tailers like Amazon making a killing, Google is looking to get in on the action. The web search giant is said to be in talks with major retailers and shipping services to create their very own shopping platform, WWD is reporting. The new online shopping destination would allow customers to browse and buy products across a variety of storefronts–a one-stop-shop, similar to Amazon, but faster. According to the Wall Street Journal, who broke the story, the site will offer same day delivery at low price.

Preview Lauren Conrad’s Fall 2011 Line For Kohl’s: Filled with floaty blush-toned blouses and pleated skirts, the fall Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s line screams LC without the Paper Crown pricetag. {Examiner}

Google Gets Into Fashion With Boutiques.com, Brings on SJP for the Launch
It seems that Project G-Style wasn’t just an intern’s dream after all.
Google will launch its very own “create-your-own” boutique channel on Wednesday called Boutiques.com, reports WWD.
The site, currently password protected, is the result of Google’s acquisition of Like.com last August. So we should have seen this coming, since Like.com and its adjoining properties are all related to online shopping.

Our Top Ten Favorite Tweets By @NoBtotheS
An anonymous fashion publicist,tweeting under the name @NoBtotheS, is becoming a real industry force.
WWD reported today that the Twitter star’s comment re: Google launching an e-commerce platform might actually be true. (Google’s entrance into the fashion and retail realm should come as no surprise. Their latest efforts include throwing a fashion industry party next week DJed by Becka Diamond and the Misshapes, and launching project GStyle during the summer.)
Anyways, @NoBtotheS, also known as No Bullshit, typically tweets about much less serious topics. In honor of our new hero, we’ve listed her top ten Tweets. Ever.

Google’s Trend Tracker: You can now track consumer interest in trends or brands on Google. The company, which has become increasingly fashion-conscious, demonstrates in their retail advertising blog how search queries can be traced and graphed over time and based on location. For example, most fashion trend-related searches grow in places like New York and Los Angeles and then spread throughout the rest of the country. Pretty cool. {Google via Blackbook}
Kate Moss is just like us: She got bored and cut her own bangs–with kitchen scissors. {Fashionologie}

Google Wants to Be More Fashionable
Google thinks fashion bloggers understand social media better than those covering other industries. So one of the world’s most powerful companies is tapping the brains of some of the world’s most powerful bloggers in order to get a better sense of how they consume and use media. Google is calling the program GStyle.
At the helm of the project is Tony Wang of post.fashionism.com.
A long list of bloggers were emailed by Wang on Monday, asking if they were interested in being interviewed by Google. The interview would consist of questions regarding “how you use internet technologies, your challenges as a blogger, and how Google can help you become the best blogger possible.”
The program, currently in pilot mode, is not a secret operation, but is in internal. The information Google is gathering is only for Googlers. At least for now.
