Feeding my style addictions

I've found a new time-wasting addiction: Stylefeeder. It's basically social window shopping. You rate what you like, it compiles recommendations, you can add or reject them, or get linked to the proper site to purchase them... it sounds an awful lot like Amazon as I'm writing this, actually. But it goes further with the Web 2.0 social networking aspect, allowing comments and tagging, burning feeds of your selections and widgets for your blog/myspace/facebook/LJ/whatever (see mine over there on the sidebar). And, the part I'm having the most fun with/trouble tearing myself away from, it matches you to your "style twins", users who have similar tastes to your own whose own personal styles you can plunder and copy to your heart's content.

Of course, my whole list is pretty much a fantasy wish list, what with the fact that I can't even afford to hit up the local thrift shop right now. Which is probably why I'm finding this so entertaining. All the pretty clothes! All the things I would totally wear, or sit on, or read, et cetera, if I could afford them/they came in my size, but in this case it doesn't matter. I can show off my keen fashion sense without spending a dime. It's making me feel girly and fashionable, and I like it.
