Suddenly Darling Upgrades Site to Maintain Commitment to Providing Trusted Fashion Community

Online, November 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - As Suddenly Darling celebrates another successful year providing young women with a supportive online fashion community, it remains true to the mission it was founded upon. Offering an environment that promotes positive self image and self respect, Suddenly Darling gives teens and young women a safe harbor in a sea of fashion resources that often simply promote fashion for fashion itself. Suddenly Darling believes young women should celebrate who they are and embrace choices that help them to do that. When founder Katelyn Rose was inspired to create the site in 2009, she was surprised to see the lack of resources available to teens and young women who were seeking fashion advice. A model and teen at the time, Rose sought to offer teens a resource that fit with their daily lives. Rose explains, "We want to make good decisions about how to look our best whenever we step out of our front door." She wanted young women to have a community they could depend upon for not only fashion advice and tips, but for interactive collaboration and sharing about affordable fashion ideas for all sorts of styles.

What Suddenly Darling modestly set out to do in 2009 has grown to over 29,000 members across the globe. And the site has been able to maintain its focus on positive self concept and self respect all the while. The supportive environment engendered by this online fashion community is the reason so many young women worldwide rely on and participate in this unique fashion platform. Every bit of content on the Suddenly Darling site is monitored. If the moderators find any comment, post, photo or other activity inappropriate, it will be removed. And any member who is found to post content that is inappropriate or disrespectful will be blocked. In addition to monitoring the activity on the site, Suddenly Darling screens all advertisements, resources and other content to assure everything is in line with the foundation of self respect and positive self image. Suddenly Darling wants to empower young women to be strong, confident and mindful of being true to who they are.

Suddenly Darling starts with a solid foundation that allows young women to confidently learn from the resources and other members on the site, share with one another and participate in the many facets of the site. And they enhance that foundation with a valuable and effortless member experience. Suddenly Darling recently redesigned the site to offer a fresh look, improved functionality and easier navigation. Darling members are at the helm of an impressive catalog of resources for fashion tips, what to wear, where to find the best deals, celebrity trends and member styles. Members of the Darling community now have more social opportunities. They can post photos and tag them. They can comment and share ideas about member posted outfits. They can support one another by sharing their individual creations and help each other find the most affordable ways to put it all together. Darling members can participate in programs like Darlings Give Back, Darling of the Month and weekly raffles and giveaways. They can even earn points toward fashion items in the site's store by participating in various aspects of the site. And Suddenly Darling remains committed to providing this valuable and supportive online community resource to its members for free. The site looks forward to another successful year ahead and thanks all its members for empowering each other to be proud of their individuals styles and who they are.
