Dawn of the digital style guru - News - Fashion Shoppers can upload pictures of their outfits to be judged, and share their vital stats to seek sartorial suggestions. A raft of sites are leaping on to the bandwagon, prompting questions about whether they are any good. Poppy Dinsey, the founder of the site WIWT (What I Wore Today), said: "It used to be thought that the one thing that online could not offer, that traditional shopping could, was styling. But now personal shoppers are working online to give style advice and accessory suggestions, while communities are sharing style advice." To test this notion, I and my colleague David Ryan tested some of the newest sites. WIWT.com
Simple Alchemy What is Alchemy? The dictionary defines it as : a medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy aiming to achieve the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for disease, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life. While this is true, I think of it as a blend of spirituality, philosophy and science.

Glitter and Pearls I’ve always believed that girls who wore head scarves just pulled off chic. I’ve worn head scarves over dirty hair to much guffawing from the peanut gallery (a.k.a. stupid brothers) who tell me I look like the chiquita banana lady. Hey, at least she’s famous.

Style Icon: Isabel Lucas While now quite famous for her role in Transformers 2 and as a past love interest of Adrien Grenier, Isabel Lucas has been one of my style icons for quite some time. Much like Isabel I am a lover of vintage dresses but I often find their hemlines to be frumpy and unflattering, so I shorten them like nobodies business. Isabel however, manages to pull off that Little House on the Prairie look and manages to make it look both feminine and chic. When roaming the streets you’ll rarely see her wearing anything but billowy skirts and long dresses, but once she hits the red carpet she glams things up with tighter silhouettes by some of fashion’s most noteworthy designers like Marchesa, Pucci, and Chanel. While there are some people whose wardrobes I would like to raid and others whom I’d like to go shopping with, it’s only with Isabel Lucas that I’d like to take on flea markets, thrift stores, and vintage shops.
