Shoe racks, closet caddies and drawer dividers keep your wardrobe in order, but your bulging bookmark bar of fashion blogs is a hot mess.

Don’t distress: give your blog reading some love with Bloglovin’. The simple online reader stores all your favourite sites in one spot. You can create your own groups like “Parisian Street Style” or “Everyday Glam Girls” to segment your feed and request email notifications so the minute Garance Doré publishes a pic of Carine Roitfeld outside the couture shows you’ll know.

Styled and sorted.

Does the thought of your daughter looking up to socialite panty flashers keep you up at night?

Creating an outlet for bright and funny females is web series Smart Girls at the Party. Hosted by Amy Poehler (of Saturday Night Live fame), the short webisodes are filmed with a wink towards Inside the Actors Studio, but instead of celebrities, you get intelligent females, like 7-year-old skateboarder and feminist Ruby.

This is Girl Power we can get behind.

Watch Smart Girls at the Party here.

Cancelling cable for the summer saves us from reruns, but denies us those late-night guilty pleasures known as Legends of the Fall and Cruel Intentions.

Good thing GlobalTV.com is streaming those and other titles online all summer long. Free and with minimal commercials, there’s always seven films to choose from and they change over every two weeks.

Best part is, unlike cable, if you can’t wait till late to watch Can’t Hardly Wait (on this week’s roster), you don’t have to.

Growing up was awkward at the best of times. Throw in bad perms, braces and fashion blunders and it's torture.

But that was then and now you’re a fox, so you can poke fun at your juvenile foibles. That’s what website Before You Were Hot is all about. Regular folks submit their before and after photos along with juicy details about their awkward stage and everyone else commiserates.

Although we’re still wondering how gap teeth looked good on Lauren Hutton, but not us.

Combing music blogs for cover songs and cool remixes could be your full-time job, except you already have one.

That leaves more time for play time.

You still remember the way your skin tingled when you spent seven minutes in the closet with the cutest boy in your class.

Now subtract the boy, add an extra minute and you’ve got Glow ‘n’ Go, Skoah’s free mini-facial. During the games, pop in between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., or when you spot a sign in the window, and you’ll be complimentarily cleansed, toned, masked and moisturized in about eight minutes.

Glowing skin, we see thee rise.

Now that the Richmond Olympic Oval is closed to public skating, we have to find somewhere else to show-off our triple salchow. Good thing the Robson Square rink has reopened.

After nine years without ice, it’s back in business and better than ever. There’s a third more space to skate and a stage at one end for live performances leading up to the games. It’s free for those who bring their own blades, or borrow a pair at the rental shop for $3. For your next date, we’d suggest an hour and a half of ice-time followed by a hot toddy to warm your body.

Robson Square rink (at Howe St.) open 9 a.m.-9 p.m. daily.

A Calvin Klein obsession can be a costly habit, but thanks to Looklet, a new site that lets you play stylist with a virtual Vogue closet, our label love don’t cost a thing. Like paper dolls for big people, you choose your model, pick a set and go to town dressing her from head to toe in high-end Louis Vuitton, street smart Topshop and everything in between—even vintage. With a click you can layer tops, tuck pants into boots and switch up how your e-mannequin holds her handbag. When you’re finished, save the ensemble and you'll get three different views that look just like magazine spreads.

“Research” is our justification for spending hours on it. What’s yours?

When Polaroid announced last year it would stop producing their instant film, we started to weep, well, instantly. Documenting road trips would no longer have that certain retro je ne sais quoi.

That was, until we stumbled upon a simple-to-use free software called Poladroid, which makes our modern day digital memories look exactly like the cool, classic snaps—no film required.

Download and open the program (cleverly made to look and sound like a Polaroid camera), drag and drop your photos into it and poof, a little white-rimmed Polaroid appears on your desktop. Just like the real thing, you wait and watch the photo faintly appear as it develops. The end result even mimics the saturation and soft contrast of the old school original.

Go ahead, shake it like a Polaroid picture.

Watch a demo of the program here. Download for free at www.poladroid.net

Not only has the mother of two been traipsing around premiers in ultra minis and sky-high shoes, but Gwyneth Paltrow has also found time to launch her own website, GOOP.

Billed as a “collection of experiences,” Gwyneth spills on her favorite tuna sandwhich recipe, best jeans (Grey Ant), and London hot spots. From philosophy (Deepak Chopra) to Philosophy (beauty products) it's like walking a mile in Gwyneth's lace-up booties as she dishes tips on how to find a little black dress, or whip up a perfect batch of buckwheat pancakes.

But nowhere does it mention how to survive on sashimi or if she really is the one in the house who gets to clean up the goop….
