Surfing the web for fashion

The semester is coming down to crunch time. Free time is this vague concept that you can not grasp any longer. You stare at blank computer screens awaiting a moment of clarity and inspiration. You jump on any chance to prolong your procrastination skills; and that's where I come in to help. As long as you have access to the Internet, I can guarantee hours of time wasted.

This site is perfect for any girl who loved Barbies growing up. You can choose any celebrity, actress, or singer, and dress them to your delight. Hate what the Olsen twins have been seen out in lately? You now have the ability to dress MKA as respectable young women who don't dig in dumpsters to find their wardrobe. Not a fan of Paris Hilton? Raid her closet see what she looks like when she is actually clothed. Sadly, boyfriends are not an option as an accessory, but I'm sure Ms. Hilton will get over it and under another.

This site, and its sister site www.mystylediary.net, give you the ability to see how other people work items in their wardrobe. The author of the site updates it weekly and has sections like 'Toolbox', 'Street Style', and 'Reviews'. Her writing style is crisp and fun and her articles are always informative. The downside is that she is an established young adult who has the ability to spend what seems like obscene amounts of money on her clothes. The upside is that she has developed a site that enables other readers to have their own style diaries. This gives you the chance to see how different personalities and people from different countries and age groups wear their clothes. I highly recommend the random button at the bottom of the page; you'll see the time fly.

You know that outfit you saw Marissa wear last night (God forbid I just mentioned The O.C., I'm going to hell)? Want to know who designed it? This site will tell you that, as well as give you the opportunity to buy some of the items featured. And it's not just for television shows, either. Nicole Richie, actress, singer, author extraordinaire, has an amazing 15 pages dedicated to her. The site is divided into designers, television shows, and celebrities, so you can browse around to your heart's desire.
