I've got the horizontal scrollbar (IE 6.0).
The page is too wide (i have a 1024x768 screen).
I am no webdesign expert but:
The site lacks focus and looks cluttered, almost like one of these generic link farm-type sites.
Bad structuring of text and images, bad alignment.
Sub-pages look different from stores page - no consistent style.
Index page: shouldn't it be "women" instead of "womens"?
The two graphics look chunky and cheap.
Problems with spelling:
Jenniffer Aniston, deffinately

Hope this doesn't sound too harsh.
But you know, the only valuable criticism is honest criticism.

Looks like you're building an affiliate shopping site? Can you display and refer specific products instead of pointing the the store's front page? By picking out products you would provide more value to someone browsing your site.

Also, the splash/front page just adds an extra click before your visitors gets to your content. Can you shrink all that so it fits in a header or sidebar?Best of luck!
