I was curious. I saw people posting sets from Polyvore featuring items that are not in their bank of images, which are limited mostly to fashion. How could this be? After a little poking around on their site, I found a "clip to Polyvore" button for my toolbar. This may be common knowledge, but in the off chance I'm not the only one who hadn't figured this out, here's the link.
