Hi Inge, I have been rather besotted with the Odyssey Home Blog. It took some time but I have read her blog from when it first commenced to now, and her style journey has me quite fascinated and inspired Elements of her current style are certainly glimpsed in earlier posts but I found it quite fascinating to watch as she has honed and streamlined her style. The comments, more so than the posts, give some insight into her process.

The demise of men's heeled shoes while the women's version edged in for a foothold, and then a near-stranglehold, intrigues me here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21151350

I enjoyed reading Sal's tips on how to avoid hat head, and think she's spot on. And sometimes you just have to live with hat head for the sake of staying toasty warm! I certainly do.

Love this look at the work outfits of six NYC women: http://www.refinery29.com/stylish-work-outfits. I would wear almost all of these!

Oh, I never seem to have anything good enough..... boo me:(

@ Mary, I just had to comment. They actually nailed, NAILED, the office fashion here at the moment: Black and white prints with brights, the black, thick hose with pumps, the short and bib necklaces, Rebecca minkoff stuff, wedge and patent pumps. I love it. I'm off to study the looks some more.

I am not pro wearing corsets of any kin but found this post about how wearing a corset affects the way a dress drapes very informative, I do like to think that women were always intelligent creatures and if they wore these things there was for sure some good aesthetic reason why.

Only a few menswear pix at top but I really liked this short piece about how the density of a pattern matters in pattern mixing.
" when it comes to pattern matching, density variation is far more controlling than pattern type"

(I'd have given you Menswear Dog, that makes me smile so, but I figure everybody's
already seen it - http://mensweardog.tumblr.com/ - wondered aloud to hubby how on
earth they got the clothes on the very expressive dog and he offered, Photoshop. Duh)

Saw this link on Already Pretty. More and more YLF Forum participants seem to be enjoying outfits with a masculine vibe these days -- so I thought this blogger might interest and inspire you: http://www.faintlymasculine.com/
