Do you guys remember Polyvore? If you don’t then this might be a good way for you to get acquainted with this high tech fashionista tool. A fellow reader (and friend btw for full disclosure hehe) commented to me after reading my last post about the Look Book album I created, that it would be nice for her to have a look book of her own. She wanted to take some of the looks I had in my album and add and subtract items to her liking. Immediately, I thought about Polyvore and how that really is the solution she needed to make this happen. She could work off of the outfits I create in Polyvore to polyvorize her own looks. And of course she could outfits from scratch.

So I’m curious… what do you all think of Polyvore? Have you tried it? Do you like it? If you are using it, what do you like about it and not like about it?

Here’s where the Luxemix Style Challenge comes in!

Objective: To entice my readers to show off the fashionistas they truly are and at the same time get to know more about how you like tools like Polyvore.

The Big Prize: A $50 Gift Certificate to Shopbop or Forever21 (winner’s choice!)

How to Play: Create a look on polyvore and either add to the comments of this post or email it to me directly. In your response please answer the questions found at the end of this post.

How to Win: After a few weeks or once I’ve gotten enough entries I’m going to choose 3 of my favorite submissions and run a poll here on Luxemix and let crowd pick a winning look.

(I’m new at this guys so no promises this is actually going to work!!)

And just in case you’re wondering, this is not a promotion I’m getting paid to do or asked to do by any 3rd party, such as Polyvore, Shopbop, or Forever21. To be honest I’m just obsessed with web tools and in particular ones that have anything to do with fashion and one of these days I’m going to create one myself :) .
