After Angie’s recent blog post and this magnificent photo posted by forum member Transcona Shannon, my love for culottes has reached new heights. So I started browsing around for more culottes inspiration, and here’s what I found:
- The Guardian’s Lauren Cochrane shows us how she wants to wear culottes.
- Five different ways to style your culottes.
- Glamour has four tips on how to rock culottes — or the “midi-pants” as they are calling them.
- Seven women share how they styled their favourite pair of culottes over at Refinery29.
- Three inspiration photos: a fun pair of zig-zag culottes (easy to bike in, too), black and white fabness with checked coat, pointy toe pumps and crisp shirt, Caroline Issa rocking a lilac culottes suit and blue heels.
- Five pinboards for extra inspiration: Jennifer Yang, Ines B., Ratsudy Mori, Naomi K, and Susan Stowell.

La Belle Demimondaine recently bought a cute and comfy pair of dENIZEN skinnies at Goodwill. Not being familiar with the brand, she googled them, and found this video review on Youtube. It is old — from 2011 — but La Belle loved what Fadra had to say, and the ending made her laugh.
Annagybe enjoyed browsing the Last Night @ The Met tumblr that shows us what people are wearing to the opera.
After reading Sally’s post “When does a signature style become a rut?“, Angie thought Sally nails it when she says: “You’ve developed a signature if you’re wearing the same things over and over again and feel pulled-together and perfectly like yourself”.
Alexandra is enjoying reading Refashionista. She thinks Jillian has an amazing eye/imagination and turns the frumpiest thrift store finds into cool pieces.
Dottie loves how Mary over at the Classy Cubicle styled the Club Monaco Caroline culottes this week.
Laurinda directs us to a thought-provoking article on wearable technology. She says: “It provides a strong commentary on current social and political issues, and is more than a little creepy for the Orwellian implications of limiting surveillance through our wardrobes.”
Theodora found “Are Malls Over?” an interesting read.
This Guardian article about jogging bottoms being the new skinnies focusses on menswear, but this is also what Vildy is craving to wear.
