a little OT, but I liked this take on the British ban on "sexy advertising" near schools, and why it's not prudish that drives the author's distaste for these ads, but this: "It’s a fantasy, and kind of an ugly fantasy: that perfection (and shininess) is what sex is all about. I hate how often it’s tossed up at my kids."

I found this website a few hours ago, so have only watched one interview yet. I'm intrigued. I love the concept and the approach: one person in the fashion industry, filmed from very close up, zooming in on details of their clothing and face, talking freely about their passion, everything in black & white. I like it.

I'm really loving hats this season and am thrilled to find that Target will release 14 hats by milliner Albertus Swanepoel on Oct. 30. Love the leopard print fedora.

Steve Jobs had 100 black turtlenecks. See excerpts of an interview where he explains how and why he started wearing a "uniform." http://gawker.com/5848754/stev.....urtlenecks

This is not the most recent, but is a good introduction to some mathematics behind neckline flattery. It combines excerpts from two books; "The Triumph of Individual Style" and "Fantastic Fit for Every Body", plus hints on neckline drafting for those of us who sew. Since I've started paying attention to necklines I'm adding more V-necks, but I had not thought about their depth, nor compared curved vs. straight V-necklines.

The watches, bags and other glimpses of these three outfits all looked fabulous to me, but the first one in a monochromatic dark cream in different textures is one that inspires and that I'd love to copy.

The link doesn't seem to be working and now I can't find the post on Garance's site under the section "But wait...there's more". It featured close ups of three designer looks that include a watch and clutch and I think it was called something like "three watches".
The photo I especially love is from Chanel.

Very interesting constructed necklaces, too bad it's based in the UK.

This is for Rae who is struggling with how to inject her personal style into her corporate wear:

Audi has such an interesting and edgy style!
And the post has a link to one of Angie's helpful lists of tips too!

Six brief videos showing the reactions when 2 women with completely contrasting
style and personality switch clothing for a day. One woman so affected she
couldn't leave her apartment. One pair was a wildly dressed woman who was
strongly introvert with a restrained, neutrally dressed woman who was bold.
Much like our clothing challenges but ramped up. One video got me to experiment
with very loose clothing when the woman explained clothing loose and shifting
around her as necessary for her to feel freedom. All of them very much about how appearance is a tool to expand or contract your psychological boundaries.

I want to piggyback off of Laurinda's link. I read Sewingplum and she's always astutely analyzing wardrobe components and how to achieve looks. I really loved her post
on modern personal style figured out from catalog or niche marketing. IOW, what people really want to wear enough to pay money for it. Lots of links
to catalogs to illustrate how she's classifying things. I figure maybe while someone
is looking at the neckline link (fabulous!) they might peek at this one:

I found this today and I think it will keep me occupied for a little while...

It's a peak into some people's closets and styles. I found Bo Carney interesting, maybe a couple of others too. Can't say anyone really inspires my style though, but fun.

I know we've had quite a few threads on different ways to wear scarves but I found this video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU - 25 (mostly different) ways to tie a scarf. Great visual guide with helpful slow motion shots in between. Also, the girl who demos this is funny and cute!

Snapette, a fashion-social networking hybrid app, has raised an addition $1.3 million in capital. I was previously unconvinced Snapette was a worthwhile app, but with this investment I have more hope. The app strives to create an almost online shopping experience for brick and mortar shoppers by collecting user submissions of clothing, shoes, and accessories available locally.
