‘Yurnin’ for some Stylin’

I am fortunate enough to have once been surrounded by racks of designer apparel, bling, shoes, bags, hosiery… you name it… we had it at every photo shoot. However, as much I wanted to swim in all of that or drive away with it all in my old beat up  station wagon and never return to my internship, I sat by on the sidelines and handed my editor that one Alexander McQueen ring, those Chanel earrings or that other Jimmy Choo shoe.  She put her talent to work, styling to perfection, asking for this, handing that back until everything was perfect and I absorbed every moment for that ‘someday’ when I could do the same.

Looks as though that ‘someday’ as a fashion stylist is still quite far off in the distance, but I came across a website that makes it feel a bit more feasible – Polyvore.com

Polyvore is pretty much a site with an incredible database of the latest and greatest designer duds and accessories, all at your fingertips to create and style sets that inspire you to go to your wardrobe and see if you have anything real that’s sort of like what you just created to wear.  My set, above, would be my perfect and coveted fall outfit.  Colorful, yet neutral; hard edges, yet with soft and feminine appeal.. think I may tear up a bit, it’s so perfect! Now  if only I owned all of those pieces!

There are just tons of fun and fabulous sets, like the ‘Autumn in Japan‘ sets, and there’s even contests within sets. Celebrity Stylish Rachel Zoe is even up in the mix. You can create your own look from Piperlime, and if she picks your set, you win a Piperlime gift card! Not too shabby!!

Hope you can find time to try it out and let your ‘fashionation’ (get it? fashion + imagination) run wild!
