Parents need to know that the online home of Teen Vogue magazine is an appealing -- and safe -- destination for teens with an interest in fashion and style. Advertising is predictably targeted toward the teen girl, but with the exception of the occasional pop-up, it's well integrated into the overall layout. Chat forums aren't moderated and rely on members to keep the community "vibrant and on track"; this seems to be working pretty well -- most users stick to the topics and use clean language.

Also, are we more likely to buy the things that we see celebrities wearing? Is it necessary to spend a lot of money to have a great wardrobe and a good sense of style?
