Good morning, shoppers! Did you wake up letting out a big yawn (bigger than usual), predicting that today would be just another boring old Tuesday? To add a bit of delight to your day, I thought we’d take a look at some of the topics creating quite a stir in the shopping world.

First, let’s talk iPhone. Always a fun topic, right? According to hothardware.com, AT&T may lose iPhone exclusivity tomorrow, Jan. 27! As a fiercely loyal Verizon customer, I’m really hoping the rumors are true. Should they not be, I guess I’ll have to just keep stealing my hubby’s phone/iPod/revolutionary Internet device away from him.

Second, let’s discuss the Golden Globes again. Yeah, I know serious style was showcased at the SAG Awards this past weekend, too, but whether the Globes dresses were winning or losing is not the topic du joir. Ladies, if, like me, you were wondering what happened to those delicate couture gowns that were dragged all over the rain-soaked red carpet, well, according to Rob Shuter of Pop Eater, as reported by shoppingblog.com, at least one star found herself stuck with a $10,000 bill!

Third, let’s take a look at some good news for Jersey Shore fans. Locally based crookedmonkey.com is now selling five Jersey Shore-themed t-shirts for guys, and four for the ladies, to help you announce your shared affinity for tanning, hot tubs, fist pumps and the like.

And, finally, we have to talk sales. Three places offering serious savings today include J. Crew (where you can save an additional 30 percent on sale items with code “EXTRA30″), 1800flowers.com (offering free shipping and no service charge on orders from their exclusive Valentine’s Day selection for weekday delivery starting 2/8) and myglassslipper.com (with oodles of gorgeous wedding shoe options currently discounted).

Speaking of V-Day, Devon Carter will be filling you in on some of our top gift ideas for guys and girlie girls tomorrow, so don’t miss tomorrow’s S.W.A.G. if you could use a little inspiration.

Have a great day! Happy shopping!
