Who doesn't love short, fun, informative webisodes? We know we do, and Glamour is counting on the fact that most women are right there with us, because that's what GlamourTV is all about. Well, actually, it's all about fashion and beauty and women and fabulousness, but shown in quick, online videos.

Nothing sucks more than purchasing a new magazine only to find out that the contents of the glossy aren't worth there two dollar cover charge. And if it's a fashion mag that you are purchasing, sometimes you only want to look at the edits. So coughing up cash to take home the whole issue can be annoying.

However, the aforementioned unfortunate plights may be no more because there is a new online service that allows one to view issues of their favorite magazines free of charge.

Mygazines allows people to look at fully scanned issues of everything from an IKEA catalog to Cosmopolitan without having to use a PayPal account. We've been checking the site out for a couple of days now and have already read the September issues of Marie Claire and Glamour. If you're interested in perusing the site, you better act quick!

Once the publishers of these magazine's find out that they can be viewed free, this little operation will probably be shutting down soon after.

A friend received a review copy of Charla Krupp's How Not To Look Old, and gave it to us as a joke because, pshaw, we are so not old. Obviously we don't need any of that advice.

Except...every single woman who walked into our living room picked up that book and sat, engrossed, reading it from cover to cover. And so did we. Looks like Charla is on to something after all.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm an all-year-round t-shirt loving kind of girl. And with this week's "Fashion Gives Back", a design/charity movement spearheaded by Glamour magazine and six young, all-female design houses, I have more reason than ever to add to my ever-expanding collection of cute tees.

Jenni Kayne, Rachel Roy, Rodarte, Sari Gueron, Thread Social, and Vena Cava will each produce a special, limited edition design to be screened onto a $68 Splendid tee, with each design signed personally by the designer. The shirts will be sold exclusively at Shopbop.com, and 30% of all proceeds will go to the designers' respective charities.

The short descriptive previews of the tees sound super cute, from Sari Gueron's watercolor owl to Jenni Kayne's rough sketch of a Grecian-gowned woman surrounded by poppies. At the very least, you can be sure your top is one of a very few: each designer will only produce 250 tees.
