>> I've never really gotten into the whole Polyvore thang because basically I like botching up my own collages in Photshop. Still, I was nonetheless intrigued when a reader called Tereza sent in some 'LOOKLET' collages to me that are inspired by my style… love the outfits… think they surpass my style actually (still very much need that Peter Jensen cardigan…). Had a little looksy on Looklet and the selection of models, settings and range of labels makes the looks a little bit different from the ones on Polyvore. Me thinks Looklet is Scandinavian-based given the number of Scandi brands. Apparently the labels are chosen by designers/stylists…. and a wee browse threw up some surprising ones. Barbara Munsel for instance who is a very very small indie designer who I wrote about a while ago. You too can play paper dolls with her sheer hand-printed leggings. My random pair of Forever21 pink/white brogues are also there for some reason too.
A quick testing testing and I'm admittedly a bit hooked if only just to see what range of labels they have but I must resist…. already I'm cutting into valuable shitty Photoshopping time…
I saved the link awhile ago but I didn’t try it yet…I don’t need another addiction at the moment!
This is really interesting, will check it out.
oooh these are indeed lovely! but… i don’t think they surpass your style. not that they are bad, they’re great, but i imagine you in more layers. i’m just sayin.
what a great homage though!
Oh yeah i never really got into Polyvore either but this looks awesome!
Ah I love looklet! It gets really addictive though. Before it went properly online the selection of clothes/shoes etc was very limited – it’s much better now. They have competitions as well where you create an outfit including a specific garment and if you win you win that garment.
this looks really great! need to check it out, but i am more of a photoshop girl too- i like it complicated! 🙂

Ooh! I need to know more about the dress in that last collage!!
Fab fun – you need to get your hands on a complete look and wear it for real or maybe not! Definitely streets ahead of polyvore.
The second one totally reminds me of you. What a great compliment, to have inspired people to copy your style of dressing. I’m not so sure about the first one though, my daughters used to dress like that when they were 4.
Thanks for sharing, this is great :)I will check it out later
WOAH this website looks interesting…a lot better than Polyvore. must check it out later
i love polyvore, you can play and play and play…shopstyle’s not too bad either, but the interface is not as user friendly (imo)…
this blog still continues to be one of the greats. xoxo

Wow, you have creative fans. 😀 Must feel great to have a style solely your own that people actually pay homage to it.
i’m pretty sure the site was originally set up in sweden by some bloggers etc, and if i remember rightly, carolina engman of fashion squad was one of those people, but gave it up.
Your outfit at the bottom is super!
I went on that once before but found there wasn’t many clothes on it of my liking, its a nice idea though
That was totally addicting! I’ve been switching around outfits for over 20 minutes now. Great idea.
i love looklet!!! its extremely addicting though. here’s my looklet page: http://looklet.com/user/12780
