Hasta La Ideas

At a taping for Germany’s Next Top Model at the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas, supermodel Heidi Klum showcased a fabulous casual-chic style. Heidi mixed it up by tucking a funky polka dotted blouse from McGinn into distressed flare leg dVb jeans topped off with a simple black Libertine cardigan and a skinny beige belt. She added some serious glam to the look with a large studded black tote and of-the-moment Yves Saint Laurent tribute platform sandals.The result was a look that radiated a high-fashion sensibility with an edgy-cool vibe. Not to mention, one that is totally wearable and accessible for all sorts of style-savvy ladies.

LendAround is a service that coordinates sharing items with your friends. The website is in beta, and currently there is a waiting list to join, but we think it’s worth the effort of signing up for the service now. From their about page:

LendAround is a project to encourage us all to stop hoarding stuff we own, and start lending it to each other.

…

LendAround is a free web tool that helps people to borrow things from their friends — starting with DVDs.

It lets you keep track of what you own, what you’ve borrowed, and who from.

You choose who you trust, and you choose what to list.

You’re in control all the time. If a friend asks to borrow something of yours, saying yes is always optional.

A website that helps people to keep fewer things in their homes is a pretty good service in Unclutterer’s view. Learn more by checking out LendAround’s tour.
