I stumbled across Park and Cube. http://www.parkandcube.com/.

The graphic designer is originally from Seoul, but raised in Warsaw, and now lives in London. This type of global integrity really speaks to me. She documents what she sees, wears and eats. Beautiful.

boy, have I got a link. Get this:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/hea.....-heel.html

Apparently you are born being able to wear flats *or* heels :
"The size of the sinus tarsi varies from person to person and it is this that determines how much your ankle can move - and your ideal heel height."

Has a test you can do. Though my opinion is that it may depend on time of day when she saw the patient. I can barely relax my ankle and drop my foot but much later in the day, I can quite a bit! Maybe I need lower heels in the morning and higher toward evening.

I had never heard this, Vildy, am going to do the test when I have a minute. Thank you for the link!

Inge, I have only recently discovered Complex Geometries and I am coveting their Junction Dress. Despite the interview with designer Clayton Evans being a few years old, I found it very interesting. I like his thinking, and love that accessibility and affordable clothing is a priority. He had me with the following quote: "And I really believe in seasonless, trendless dressing. Style before fashion. Clothing is a form of communication and I feel like understated pieces provide a means for more varied expression".

That's a great link, thank you Deborah. The quote really resonates with me too. (that's how I see the Modern Classic pieces in my wardrobe = the basis for expressing whatever I feel like expressing at a particular moment in time + they are perfect to mix with more trendy items).

Hi Inge, I really liked the color theory here on putting a wardrobe together. Takes discipline.

This is a bit old, and maybe it's been mentioned already?

There's an intriguing conversation which touches on sensory marketing/environmental design and how scents may be used to influence our shopping experiences/behaviors.

Disclaimer: The blog I linked to and the resulting conversation is perfume centric.

The title is intentionally provocative, but give it a chance. It also references an earlier article from Salon that's worth a read. And a link at the end to another blog. The comments are also fun.

ETA: This analysis is more focused on shopping behavior

Here's an article on a neat app that allows you to enter your measurements, and then it shows you clothing on someone that is similar to your size. I haven't tried the app, but it seems like it could be fun!

Not sure if we've already linked to this earlier, but here is an archive of Oscar Red Carpet looks. It's fun to peruse in various ways -- by designer, colour, or style of gown. http://www.nytimes.com/project.....t-history/
