They were even pretty close on defining my style. But I got my first e-mail from them today and there is practically nothing in it that I'd ever consider buying, regardless of price. There are a ton of brands that I haven't heard of or actually hate - definitely not the style they picked for me. In the profile process, there was a place to click on brands that I don't like (so that I wouldn't receive e-mails about them). I thought this was smart. But the brands that came up in my e-mail didn't even appear on that list - or I would have eliminated them! It seems like the site really wants to use the e-mails to promote retailers with whom they have affiliate deals. Makes sense for them, but it means I don't want their irrelevant e-mails. The weird thing is, this is a new service yet there's no place in the e-mail to click and give this type of feedback. Seems like yet another fashion algorithm site that doesn't work.

Instead of trying to suggest items to users, it lets them window shop and tell it what they like then lets them know when it goes on sale. At least then the emails you get are for things you actually wanted. http://www.SavvyCircle.com takes a different approach to shopping.
