Robin Good: Wanelo is a product curation platform. Similar to GetVega, Curisma and Polyvore it specializes in facilitating the collection of commercial products images and information, to create wish-lists, shopping lists or grassroots buyer-guides. 

From the official site: "Wanelo is social store curated by the community. Users post, collect and organize products and follow people and stores they like.

Wanelo comes from the words WAnt, NEed and LOve."

From the TechCrunch review: "Wanelo is a site that allows users to bookmark and share their favorite products via a grid layout and high-res imagery.

The startup allows you to follow your Facebook friends in addition to top site users — resulting in a more personalized product feed than that of just celebrity selections.

To post an item to Wanelo enter a product URL, tag the item with categories, and add price and other details.

Users can browse through Wanelo items by popularity, recency, or by people and stores that they follow."

Robin Good: StyleBook is a fashion and glamour curation platform allowing you to easily create rich illustrated stylebooks.

StyleBook looks on the surface like most other visual boards, allowing you to easily follow other users, and to select and repin images to your stylebooks.

From Techcrunch: "To use StyleSaint in its current form, log in with Facebook or Twitter and create an account, once logged on, you can choose from over 55K “tear sheet” images from which to create your own Stylebook, once you’ve got more than ten tear sheets loaded, you can hit the “Create Stylebooks” link in the top right and StyleSaint will automatically import, then publish, the last ten sheets you’ve torn. Alternatively you can drag-and-drop the tears to create a custom stylebook. Click on “Create” to publish to the site.

In addition the resulting books are Facebookable, tweetable and embeddable, the embeddable stylebooks function as an overlay on embedded sites, preventing traffic re-direction. 

The most compelling thing about StyleSaint is that co-founders Brian Garrett and Allison Beal eventually want to use the collective data from the style booking activity to come up with its own line of clothing. “StyleSaint is the only company editorializing the phenomenon of image discovery and curation and combining it with a manufacturing, vertical eTailer ecommerce model...”
