Polyvore has a pretty cool style creator tool that enables you to search through hundreds of dresses, pants, shoes and accessories and put together looks you like – it’s like playing with paper dolls. A lot of stylistas have put the looks they’ve created on the site, too, so even if you don’t feel that creative with clothing, you can get some great ideas from others out there. Then, hit the second-hand stores for knock offs!

A Lot To Say
Featured Designer – A Lot to Say was just named the most environmentally progressive line of message apparel and lifestyle products on the market in the U.S. today. Not only does A Lot To Say have a huge collection of very hip empowering and inspiring messages on their tees, but incredibly, every A Lot To Say tee is now made entirely of RECYCLED BOTTLES, and (they claim) the fabrics are softer than silk!

New York Designer Sheena Matheiken came up with this bold, and might I say admirable, idea to raise funds for the Akanksha Foundation in India. Matheiken’s project is designed to raise both awareness and money; to date, she has raised over $50,000 for school children in India. Sheena, you are awesome!

A Whole “New” Wardrobe – for free!
Jolia loves to shop. Like the rest of us she knows that there’s no better feeling than putting on something new. “It makes you smile, it makes you feel renewed and confident. After you’ve worn something half a dozen times, it just doesn’t have that same feeling. “I would call it the Cinderella complex, because when Cinderella put on her glass slippers, she felt like the queen of the ball.” Read more…
