@Kyle The blurred edges are a result of the screen grab. :( They're crisp in the original file. The underlined links are due to the style on the rest of the site. But I may see if there's some room to rethink it. Thanks!
@Sol I'm just working with the colors and styles set forth in the client's brand. The darker blue is a main color in their logo. I have to use it and felt that using it in large doses on the site felt too harsh for the nature of their industry so it's applied in the link color. I chose a lighter blue to complement their orange and add a softer feel. There's some further explanation in my previous post. Thanks for your feedback!
I think having the anchor tags underlined is important if you want people to understand that they are clickable. I agree that it's not really attractive, but it's a vital usability issue. I'd suggest have a "more info" or "details" link or button so you could remove the underline from the titles.

The button edges are a little blurry and I'm not feeling the underlined anchor tags. Love the textures though.

I think the blue color and font is not really in touch with the Web 2.0 feel of the overall site.

beautiful! Love the subtle details of the background patterns/texture and how the "add to cart" hangs over the edge of the box.
