Ingredients for High Quality SetsPosted by Jack Ley on May 3, 2011 Leave a comment (0)Go to comments

One question we often hear asked is: what are the ingredients for a great Polyvore set? Good question. Using quality images is a key part of the secret sauce. When you do, your set is more likely to be highlighted on Polyvore, and if you embed larger set sizes on your blog, your set will be as beautiful as you intended even after being enlarged. We found that the three most common types of images that affect the quality of sets when overstretched are blocks of solid color, text clipped from other sites, and background embellishments. So, to address this and help you create great quality sets (at any size!), we’ve rolled out some new features in the editor:

Color Block Tool? You can now add any type of color at any size into your sets with the new color block tool?in the editor. No need to clip or stretch out old color swatches.

New Fonts? We’ve added 21 new fonts to our text tool! Using fonts from our built-in tool will ensure that your sets look great at any size.

Embellishments We’ve collected high resolution versions of popular embellishments and organized them into new categories to make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for.?Just search for the following categories in the editor search bar: Frames & Borders, Magazine Articles, and Magazine Images.

We’ll continue to provide you with great quality items to improve set quality so stay tuned for more updates in the editor! Similar Posts:

Givenchy and Converse’s Collaboration Makes Luxury Court-AppropriatePosted by Jorja Rowlandson on April 13, 2011 Leave a comment (0)Go to comments

?

Converse has grown leaps and bounds since its humble beginnings a century ago, when the company got its start creating a simple—but timeless—basketball shoe. With the iconic Chuck Taylor to its name, Converse has since branched out of its canvas shell and is no stranger to collaborations. With recent partners that include John Varvatos and Missoni, it’s no surprise the label would join forces to create a limited-edition shoe with designer Riccardo Tisci. Tisci has always kept busy; when not overseeing the creative direction for French couture house, Givenchy, he spends his time designing album covers, curating blogs, and most recently creating buzz when many speculated he would be chosen to take over as Creative Director at Dior, after John Galliano was relieved of the position. ? The Givenchy take on the Chuck Taylor for the “Converse Addict” series is a high-gloss, black-on-black creation. It includes the signature Givenchy leopard print that first hit the runway last year, and true to Tisci’s dark aesthetic, is not without studs (which line the heel seam of the shoe), and crosses (sewn on the tongues, with GIVENCHY prominently printed across them). American and European admirers will probably have to scour Ebay to obtain a pair—the collection is only available for a limited time in stores in Japan, from April 27.

Most women’s shoes for sale on the market revolve around only a few types. High heels, small heels (Kitten heels), wedges and more are some of the more popular varieties on the market. But the markets always have a few oddities as we will see. I’m talking about shoes that are “quaint” but perhaps are a bit too niche for regular everyday use. Lets start off with the first variety on the list. You’ve probably seen spectator shoes before but never considered buying them. What are they exactly?. They are low heeled shoes that feature two toned colors.

While there are some high heeled spectator shoes, most are below two inches. It is a type of Oxford shoe that features tabs for the laces right under the vamp. Perforations on the front of the shoe makes a brogue-styled footwear. While it was first seen in the 1900′s, it rises in popularity every once in a while. If you’re looking for a charming pair of shoes that has its roots in the early 20th century, they are great choices. For functional footwear modeled after ballet shoes, try dolly shoes. Because they are essentially modified ballet flats, they do share the same basic characteristics. Thin soles are some of the common characteristics found between the two. It has been stiffened for use in our everyday working environment. For tightening, a string tie can be pulled or loosened to fit.

While not as unique as dolly shoes or spectator shoes, nude shoes warrants a place on the list. Nude heels are made for one purpose, to make your legs seem longer. It does this simply because the shoe matches your skin tone and this creates a smooth line from the legs to the shoe. Most brands will have at least one type of nude shoe for the market. Certain shoes sizes are also quite rare on the market. Those that are blessed (Or cursed) with feet that are either too small or too big for most shoe sizes face this problem very often. For those of you that deal with this problem on a consistent basis, there are some online stores that can help you. Vivalavida.com is just one of many stores that provide oversized shoes for customers. For those of us with smaller feet, try the littleshoeshop.com.

Beautiful Ladies On Red Carpet At Scream 2010 AwardsPosted by Alex Bland on October 17, 2010 Leave a comment (0)Go to comments

I haven’t written about glam events for awhile being busy with describing collections from Spring/ Summer 2011 runway. However, now I’m ready to tell you about the red carpet fashion at Scream 2010 Awards (held on October 16) where some of my favorite actresses wore glamorous dresses. One of this is Nina Dobrev, a cute Vampire Diaries star. Nina looked uber-feminine and chic in a little black dress and a pair of black sandals with chain details.

Nina appeared at Scream 2010 Awards with her co-star and friend Kayla Ewell. The girl looked pretty in a simple strapless dress complemented with a layered necklace.

Halle Berry attracted lots of attention wearing a golden Reem Acra dress and Louboutin shoes.

The Gossip girl actress Blake Lively attended the event in a grey body suit, long silk skirt, caramel leather harness, and natural studded leather and metal sandals. Her whole look was from the latest Lanvin’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Amazing!

Kristen Stewart didn’t surprise anybody with her dress. She opted for now-already-traditional-for-her clinging mini dress. This time it was black-and-white.

Emma Roberts chose a very beautiful dress for Scream 2010 Awards. Her asymmetrical lace frock looked gorgeous.

As for other ladies who attended the event, they didn’t look as good. Even Megan Fox who in majority of cases looks great this time didn’t impress me.
