I want it all, that's why I strive for it

First of all...
I am the worst blogger ever...
And if there was any excuse for my absence on the blog scene it would be that I am now profitably (to an extent) employed and seriously busy/lazy/not prioritizing correctly.

Yes I am now employed in retail (woo!)
Also, since I have a job, I can buy magazines and feel less guilty about it...
So here comes the reason for my hasty and visually bland post:

I was sitting here, technically 'on the clock' nannying, enjoying the newest issue of InStyle, drooling profusely, and dog-tagging pages like a maniac, when I decided that I should visit said dog-tagged websites.
TA-DA!
Low-and-behold, my own magazine-addict, fashion-whoring, page-ripping nirvana.
No joke.

Scope out www.maghound.com it's like crack, only cheaper, and not as detrimental to the health of the masses.
Their selection is not amazing but it will do (and it definitely favors those of us fashion minded folk.)

Thank me later when you are spending $11 per month to get 7 killer fashion/lifestyle mags delivered directly to your mailbox, and you can no longer afford to pay for them because you become so distracted by their  brilliance, you no longer make it to work, or for that matter leave your house. Actually, now that I reflect on that possibility, maybe forget I told you all about it.
More tidbits soon, se prometo.

My heart be beating over

Warning: this is a seriously addictive website.

If you have any deadlines at work, house cleaning to do, parties or meetings to attend in the next 4-6 hours, I would suggest postponing a visit to this site on a later date.
Say a nice, calm, Sunday evening or something...

With that being said...
If you love fashion, have ever considered styling, used to adore paper dolls, have a speedy internet connection, and as aforementioned, have a vast amount of free time on your hands, then surf on, fashionistas:


You have to have a (free) account in order to save outfits, rate others, or enter styling contests, but you can look and play all you want sans sign-up. Looklet has been growing and improving continuiously since May 2009 when I began using it. They add clothing nearly every day, models ever so often, and have styling contests (with prizes!) at least once a month. It's delish.
If you fall in love with a piece you're using on your little digital model, you can either go directly to the site of the designer via link or can use Looket's provided information to Google it. Ingenious.
The only downsides are homogeneous body types, digital flaws (with fit or with placement,) and their failure to delve into the male side of things.
My creative, ever-whirring mind has created a mental list of ways they could improve, but you know, as usual, they didn't ask me. AND they're pretty damn awesome so far, so rock on.
If you want some inspiration and a little glimpse into my 'lookbook,' then here I am.
And for your viewing pleasure, a few recent looks from my site:
