The clothes are styled to perfection, and the exotic photo shoot locales just make the perusing even easier. The latest Fall catalog isn't out yet, but we got a sneak peek of what's to arrive in your mailbox any day now.

What's Your Opinion of Home Décor Catalogs?

I can devour endless servings of home décor eye candy, though I'm partial to shelter mags.

I can devour endless servings of home décor eye candy, though I'm partial to shelter mags. When it comes to catalogs from home retailers, I'd rather just shop online.

I find it so much easier to search the retailers' websites or ShopStyle. Plus, as someone who is very eco-minded, I hate to waste paper, and some catalog lists I've been on seem to send a new issue every two weeks! How about you?

I’m always tempted by my favorite kitchen store's food selection — especially during the holiday season when I see more goodies to choose from than usual. Still, in this economy, it's hard fro me to imagine shelling out a lot of money for marshmallows, cookies, or cakes when I can make many of the offerings myself. What about you?

Do Your Children Catalog Window Shop?

My mailbox is filled with catalogs from every toy, children's clothing, and food company known to man these days.

My mailbox is filled with catalogs from every toy, children's clothing, and food company known to man these days. Every day, I haul the load to our kitchen table and my daughter gets to work, furiously flipping through the pages and pointing to the items she wants. I used to do the same thing as a child. Do your children do this?
