More virtual communities sprout up every week, and among the most fun and interactive are social fashion websites. The next few weeks I will review 3 of my favorites, starting today with Chicisimo.

How it works is that you create your own account - here is the link to my Chicisimo profile - and upload photos wearing your favorite outfits. In the photos are 5 of my most popular outfits on Chicisimo, and you can click on each photo to see the relative popularity of each one!

Hello Darlings,

I've used Lancome skin care and make-up on and off since my teens. Recently, I've fallen in love with their Lancome Rénergie Eye Multiple Action Eye Cream and just wanted to share it with you. This 2 step cream is not only an amazing eye cream but also a concealer.

Hello Darlings,

With a cup of fresh brewed coffee and a soothing end of day bath, it's sinking in how I avoided the ultimate hair catastrophe. Despite being in the trusted hands of Exit Salon's Rob and Jan, making a "big change" to cut off 4 inches of my hair was still nerve wracking!

Although I trust my stylist, I was still speechless as his scissors gently skimmed across my hair line. Just like that, 4 inches of my beloved hair were strewn across the floor! Not really sure how to feel, I stared blank at the mirror in front as Jan continued to even out my hair line. No more layers, no more length, just a clean line falling slightly below my shoulders.

Hello Darlings,

Never thought I would ever cheat on my beloved Chanel with Balenciaga! Since my 16th birthday, I have been a loyal Chanel spritzer. Together with diamond studs, years ago my parents gifted me my first bottle of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle perfume. Since that birthday, I have loved Chanel in a way that no other scent could challenge. Well, that is until recently discovering the beauty of Balenciaga. My first new love was L'Essence and now it's Balenciaga's highly-anticipated Florabotanica.
