lookit looklet
I recently discovered Looklet, which is a fun Flash website where I have been indulging my dress-up stylist-wannabe fantasies. Polyvore and I never did hit it off; it just feels a bit too clinical, somehow, laying out the clothes and accessories to imagine how they would all look together. On Looklet I get to pick a model (I don't have a favourite one, they all look a bit too hipster for my liking), a background (some are hilarious, like the one of the zoo) and plenty of clothes and accessories to put together so that it looks like a sort of magazine editorial, or like a photograph from one of those style blogs multiplying rampantly all over the Internet. Cleverly, all the stuff you see on the website are available to buy online with a few clicks.
Of course, at the root of all the fun is the vicarious pleasure of seeing the clothes fit and fall into perfect place. These models' legs are so long, they can make a paperbag look fashionable.
Central Park picnic: the dress, by Peter Jensen, is whimsical and arty and so me.
Hot day runaround: very typical of my style. If only I had deeper pockets (and longer legs)!
