Fashionistas around the globe have probably already stumbled across the wonder that is Moxsie.com. I’m a casual shopper and frequent online deal finder but a fashionista, I am not. Imagine my excitement when I stumbled across an ad on PerezHilton for a bag that I instantly fell in love with (yes, I just admitted my guilty pleasures, bags and celebrity gossip).
The ad directed me to Moxsie.com, a Palo Alto based shopping site that helps visitors discover independent fashion designers. The products available are well priced, well made and most are wearable. I selected my bag and quickly purchased it and I learned something even more exciting than the opportunity to find unique products. I discovered that with each purchase, a portion of the proceeds are donated to a charity that the shopper can select from a preset list. There is no additional cost to the consumer and the charities are close the the heart of the designers and Moxsie team. What a great way to enjoy your shopping and give back at the same time.
If you click through the ad on Perezhilton, you get 15% off your purchase instantly. Happy Shopping!
Bubblicious Reporter Alison McNeill recently presented Bubby awards to five winners at Twiistup 5, which was held at Hangar:8 at the Santa Monica airport. Last Friday, we posted our highlight reel that included an interview with Twiistup Producer Mike Macadaan and highlights of all five Bubby Award winners, and all this week we featured each of the five winners.
Today concludes our Twiistup coverage with our final interview with Christine Elia, founder and CEO of Closet Couture, who was awarded the Bubby award for “Favorite Fashionista Startup.”
Closet Couture is a social fashion site that “connects people of stylish minds with those who live or work around them,” according the Closet Couture site. In addition to being a community of fashionistas, it also serves as a utility site where people can get help with their personal wardrobes, or even help with just one outfit for a special occasion, from other users or professional stylists. We first discovered Closet Couture at TechCrunch50 and have closely followed them since. We love them and hope you do, too.

I hope y’all enjoyed the Bubby train ride this week. We’re off to SXSW and we just might give out one more Bubby award while kickin’ it Texas-style. Ya never know when or where we might turn up to award you with a Bubby. As Alison McNeill stated in last Friday’s post, “we were questioned about our criteria in choosing the winners and the truth is that there are none. So be prepared, at any time or any event, because you, too, may be presented with a Bubby!”
