One day at home, bored and with nothing much to do (apart from studying) I decided to log on to Twitter and ‘stalk’ the pages of celebrities who choose to frequent this social networking site. I’m no Twitter fan, but I must admit I use it to keep up to date with the latest gossip from magazines and for the celebrity following. And, if it were not for Twitter and a magazine editor’s comment, I may never have discovered my newfound ultimate addiction (next to shoes) Polyvore.com.

Polyvore is a website where artists, aspiring stylists, shoppers, and anyone who loves fashion come together to form a massive community of creativity.  Polyvore allows people to pick and choose products from a range of online stores to create their very own fashion collections called "sets". More than 30,000 sets are created every day and with over six million visitors and 140 million page views a month, Polyvore.com is most definitely the largest fashion community website in the world.

Shopping for clothes, should be easy, most other shopping is, but why has it become a complex and dreaded task? With the introduction of shopping online you shouldn’t even have to leave your house, especially if you dread the change rooms (and don’t we all) but how can shopping be easy? How can we shop online? And how can we shop without trying the clothes on, when in every different store we're a different size?
