i like luxuryfashion a lot (though not as much as here). the cool thing about there is a lot of the posters have their own websites where they post pictures of their outfits and other style tips, which is really cool. i want to do this too.

the bad thing is that a lot of the posters are on the younger side (not that there's anything wrong with that) but they'll be posts about whether a&f is in or out, and i'm too old to care.

I like to go to that site sometimes, too. Those girls all seem really rich (except for a few) so I don't feel as comfortable posting there. I actually might not even have a name there. I forget.

I like luxuryfashion.com too for the same reasons you do Honey, the personal websites are great for ideas. I also feel like the oldest one there and probably am, so I don't really post there just browse.

The only other site I have the real time to post on is MakeUp Alley or Makeup Talk Forum.

I occasionally read the posts at style.com's shopping forum. It's a more mature crowd but redundant, same question asked 16 different ways and no sense of community. Plus it can be viscious there like some other place we all know too well.

sometimes I lurk on the MUA fashion board or luxfash...hardly ever post though. Some of the people on those sites scare me a little

honey · Gucci

hands down this site has the nicest people.

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

I've just visited luxuryfashion.com for the first time tonight, and I have to agree with you Andrea, the girls on there seem really rich and I don't know if I'd feel comfortable posting either. They spend more money in one month than I have to my name!

Karina · Chanel

that equifox chick scares me.

RyanJ · Coach

I stick with this board and I check out

www.stylediary.net- I love seeing pictures of what people are wearing and she has some really cute outfits and ideas on that page

I hate luxfas it just makes me sad when I am over there.

DC Shopper · Dooney & Bourke

i sometimes check out MUA for product reviews, and rarely look at the boards.

i used to get on theknot.com but gave that up.

that's about it! i really like the page ryan j just posted - i wish i could pull off those looks!

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I used to go to luxuryfashion( too young and too much drama, and would be afraid to post my latest find at payless there) and fashionspot(hated that one, but had some cool posts)

This is why I love you guys, I can be me!! Also I have gotten the best advice here too!

Whoa I don't really go to other forums that much... and I'm glad I don't! eeep!

What a waste. $5000 of destroyed jeans? $5000 of Abercrombie?

OMG! I hope she was exaggerating! Even if they bought those new expensive Ezra Fitch line jeans (which I think are like $150), that would be 33 pairs of jeans!

Do they still have the "Sexy Little Mafia" there? I was lurking there a few days ago and didn't see that.

I agree I have been to a few other sites and people are just so rude to each other!! There is a nice and rude way to express your opinion and some people just don't get it. I first posted on Lucky's forum, but it was terrible, and then I found fashion hag and then here!!

cat · Marc Jacobs

I go to lucky somtimes,but I get so sick of the nasty posts and worse people constantly advertising there own websites.It got very annoying. plus this site so much cooler.

crystal · Kate Spade

this site is by far the best, but i also check out MUA & reesycakes.com (for codes).

berryahou35 · Dooney & Bourke

whenever I get bored, I go to the Lucky forums, and they've improved quite a bit, less advertising. The main thing I don't like is the format. Updated posts aren't moved up, etc.

For non forum sites:

www.lumana.com

any others?
