Steal style with StylePointer.com

I am what one would call a magazine addict. Yup, Cosmo, Nylon, Interview, I-D, Flaunt, In Touch, Life&Style, and on and on and on! I have to read every page front to back and NO ONE is allowed to read my magazine before me, either. Right...I'm that bad.

I have to read up on new movies, celebrity couples, featured interviews, and of course, FASHION! I love to look at all the cool new trends and all the fashion don'ts in order to figure out which pieces I can DO!


Of course, there's a ton of celebrities pictured in the most beautiful clothes, accessories, and shoes. The problem is, the magazines either state exactly what the celeb is wearing or, at best, provide an only slightly cheaper version. Now, you can get celeb looks for a LOT less on http://www.stylepointer.com/. You're just a click away from looks from more than 60 different celebrities. Victoria Beckham alone has about 24 looks to choose from. It's a great site for women who love to dress and look like a star.
