[There are over 100 million sites on the Internet. 100 million! You might think you know about all the important ones (CollegeCandy, Gmail, Google, TFLN…), but there are thousands of other sweet sites out there (like Blah Therapy, Life is Beautiful, and Go Try It On) and more showing up every day! We get it – it’s not easy or fun sifting through the crap and porn to find those gems, so we’re gonna bring the gems to you.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve sort of been getting bored with most of the clothes in my closet lately.  I tend to keep wearing the same things again and again, while other stuff keeps getting pushed to the back of the closet.  I’d love to get rid of all the stuff I’m not wearing and raid the mall for some new stuff, but I can’t really afford to do that.  But recently, I’ve found a way to get rid of the clothes I don’t want anymore AND get some new stuff at the same time–without having to spend a lot of money, either.

ThredUP is an online clothing exchange that lets you trade the clothes in your closet you don’t wear anymore with clothes other people don’t wear anymore.  Right now, the site’s only set up for shirts, but I’m betting (or at least hoping) that new categories will be added soon. Read More »

It’s no secret that I’m an online-shopping addict.  I don’t always buy things when I online shop, though–a lot of times, I just like to browse my favorite stores’ sites when I’m bored.  However, when there actually is something in particular I need (or want) to buy, I prefer to look for it online first rather than driving down to the mall and searching through hundreds of racks of clothes in dozens of different stores.

The problem is, online shopping can sometimes be almost as exhausting as the mall; you may not have to strap on the comfy shoes to walk miles from store to store, but there are thousands of online stores out there and having to search each one separately for the item I’m looking for can get pretty annoying.

Or, at least that’s what I thought before I found ShopStyle. Read More »
