New Look Book Album

Devil_wears_prada_black_coa_4Hey everyone~ I created a look book album to make it easier to have everything in one place. The next time you’re digging through your closet and have the nothing to wear depression, take a peek into this album for some inspiration for looks to throw together. Honestly, it’s not that you don’t have anything to wear, you just haven’t taken the time to try working different pieces together into a new look. When I don’t have the perfect piece to complete a look I’ll just throw second best in there and after I’ve got everything on, I realize it really doesn’t matter that much. Try it!

For now you’ll see some of the older looks I put together in the past. Promise I’ll put together some new looks soon! I’ve been wearing same ole’ same ole’ every day myself so I certainly could use some inspiration myself. Also don’t forget about the list of look books on the internet I’ve collected. If you know of any other good look books please share with us!!

New Look Book at Armani Exchange

One more look book to add to my Fashion Look Book Index!

This look book from Armani Exchange is well done from a usability standpoint, e.g. easy to navigate and they have a nice summary summary (3rd image down) which makes it easy to shop for the items in each look. I must say I am disappointed with the looks themselves though. I’d expect more from Armani. It’s funny how you can take the same clothes and result in a completely different style identity. I’d put these pieces together so differently. The look I show below is probably the only one I like a little.. I like how they name the looks too. "Campus Clique". I guess I must think I’m younger than I really am.

Fashion Look Book Index — All the Look Books I Could Find

For those of you who are looking for ideas on what to wear, this post is for you!

Lookbook_girl What’s a Look Book?
"Look book" is the term used to reference a collection of images that are assembled to help illustrate "looks" or "outfits". It could be a clothing retailer or a fashion magazine, and in my case a blog!, who puts together a Look Book. The main objective is to help inspire the reader with complete looks from head to toe. It makes it easier for the viewer to picture the product when it is paired with other nicely coordinating pieces. Look Books are a fairly new trend but I believe they will become increasingly popular and important to the fashion retail industry.

I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to photoshop together looks for you in my Luxe Mix Look Book so here’s some sites to refer to whenever you want some insta-inspiration on outfit ensembles.

Note: I’ll keep adding to this as I find more. Please help us out by adding any you know of yourselves in the Comments section!

Who's the Luxe Mix?

I wouldn't qualify myself as anything official when it comes to fashion but I might officially qualify as a shopaholic. To keep from going broke I have learned to mix the luxe with the less, the cheap with the chic. I'm a technology junkie in addition to being hopelessly fashion obsessed so while I am a corporate UX designer by day, by night I am an obsessively compulsively working up visions of a splendid online fashion retail nirvana. Contact me if you want my input on how to transform your fashion house into a mass-tech-revolutionized business.
