Macworld Review: "Bluefly lives up to its promise of being an outlet mall on the Web with bargain prices on items from Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and Liz Claiborne, to name just a few. Search by price range in any category–it's like making your own bargain rack. It does not offer gift wrapping."

Macworld Review: "A strong runner-up is AOL's Chic Simple This section of America Online's shopping site acts like a splashy interactive catalog with suggestions on outfits and clothing and fashion advice. Click on an item, and you're sent to a name-brand store such as The Gap, Eddie Bauer, Dockers, or J.Crew. Sorry, guys, this site is for women only. Bluefly also sells accessories, such as hats and ties."
