    Preppy Polyvore


    Polyvore, a platform that enables its users to easily mix fashion items with drag-and-drop onto a digital canvas to create mood boards, became quickly popular as it managed to put a social spin on something very familiar to all fashion lovers: magazine spreads

    For those of you who have never heard of Polyvore, take a look at some of these articles:

    1. The Rise of Polyvore: Trendsetting Goes Social
    2. Polyvore’s Jess Lee Turns Fashion Lovers into Style Trendsetter 
      “Next time you stand in front of your closet with no idea what to wear, remember there’s an army of wannabe Anna Wintours and Rachel Zoes on Polvore.com”
    3. How Polyvore Became a Trend-Setter in Social Shopping

    Essentially, Polyvore is the up and coming fashion facebook. It allows you to create styles and share them with friends (and strangers). The best part is that every item of clothing is linked to its seller, so if you see something you like.. you can buy it!

    Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Blake Lively, and even designers like Kate Spade, have caught onto the addiction and created their own account… So why haven’t you?

    If you are ever looking for some preppy fashion advice, outfit ideas, or inspiration, I suggest that you take a look at the following Polyvore accounts. They keep it fun, fresh, classy, and preppy. Some are affordable, where as others are a bit pricey, but all are fun to look at.
