Fashion + Tech = It’s a beautiful relationship.
If you caught the season opener of (my personal favorite show) Gossip Girl, then I’m assuming you’re just as obsessed with the clothes as I am. However, finding the clothes is a bit more challenging. Who says we can’t add a little gossip into our lives too?
Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl
Thankfully, in my long-term Internet quest to find some answers, I came across Polyvore. It’s a site that allows us normal people to create “fashion mashups,” which link to where one can purchase items online. (I have no idea where the name came from).
According to Wired, the site’s creator, Pasha Sadri, was also the creator of Yahoo Pipes (an interactive feed aggregator and manipulator.)
The graphic to the left contains a few of the newest outfits from Gossip Girl, including blair’s marc jacobs white dress that seems to be sold out everywhere.Or her green Milly dress (really cute).
But don’t be fooled- the site is more scalable than just to provide an outlet for the fashion hungry (but not much, I just didn’t want to sound too shallow…)
It’s flexible enough to create interior design and home layouts too. For example, say you’re moving into a new dorm room or apartment and want to make a mock layout of what it might look like. Not a bad idea if you need to make a “proposal” to your parents for funding.
If you’re interested, don’t forget about Polyvore’s blog.
Too bad a pretty picture of fabulous outfits won’t get me a date with Gossip Girl’s Lord Marcus Beaton. sigh.
