“We’re delighted to relaunch Stylelist,” while adding, “The site has a new look, and a new focus on encouraging people to develop their own sense of style – so that they can become their own stylists. And because people love to express their opinions about fashion, we’re excited to bring theHuffPost commenting platform to Stylelist‘s engaged community members, allowing them to connect with each other and have their voices heard – weighing in on all things style, from who wore what to the Oscars to whether the latest trend is here to stay or will be gone tomorrow.”
AOL has relaunched the site with a new design and a new logo, while the sites platform uses Huffington Post technology for blogging and commenting.

Site visitors looking to work on their own appearance will also fine makeover tips and other advice from artist Eve Pearl.
Speaking about the sites goals Anya Strzemien said:
“We’ll have fun covering fashion, while not losing sight of the fact that our users also want advice that’s useful and inspiring. Our coverage will run the gamut, and we’ll be starting conversations about style that will be spirited, incisive and entertaining.”
Priya Rao went on to add:
“We’re excited to spotlight style wherever we find it, whether it’s a celebrity who’s showing surprising confidence while wearing a bold look, or a person on the street who’s mixing up high and low fashion in an unexpected way.”
