Strong sun, that bleach
The curtains of my room, can you not render
Colourless this dress I wear?—
This violent plaid
Of purple angers and red shames; the yellow stripe
Of thin but valid treacheries; the flashy green of kind deeds done
Through indolence high judgments given here in haste;
The recurring checker of the serious breach of taste?
No more uncoloured than unmade,
I fear, can be this garment that I may not doff;
Confession does not strip it off,
To send me homeward eased and bare;
All through the formal, unoffending evening, under the clean
Bright hair,
Lining the subtle gown. . .it is not seen,
But it is there.
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Ok, if you aren’t using del.icio.us , please sign up. You can save your bookmarks online in a single place. You can search for interesting sites and articles. For instance, this search shows you the top sites tagged as “fashion” by del.icio.us users.
So, start bookmarking and tagging. I want to voyeur your web surfing! If you are already a member, add me to your network:
I love seeing what jewels people are discovering on the web, fashion or otherwise.
Use Del.icio.us as a Lookbook
By marking images and pages with tags like to_buy, to_try, to_copy, to_wear_work or to_wear_party, you can keep track of looks you want to copy or pieces you want to buy. Using del.icio.us as a lookbook is easier than using style.com’s lookbook because you can stay continuously logged in and you bookmark looks from sites other than style.com.
Subscribe to Different Tags and Users
Easily keep tabs on your obsessions with subscriptions or add a user’s del.icio.us page to your rss reader. With subscriptions you can view bookmarks with a particular tag(s). Here are some example searches that you could subscribe to:
If you bookmark any flickr photo using del.icio.us, your del.icio.us page will have a small thumbnail of the flickr photo next to the entry. Check it out here. Very cool for creating lookbook. One idea is to tag everything from flickr with a ‘flickr’ tag so that you can visualize your lookbook with a single click.
