Wow! It’s our first anniversary
April 5th, 2007Happy anniversary youlookfab! I can scarcely believe that it has been an entire year since my first post. I thought we could celebrate by reflecting on the posts and categories that have been the most popular.
Top 10 posts:
- The pretty pear (winner by far!)
- Perfect pants lengths please
- What is your fashion persona
- Smart casual for ladies
- The racy rectangle
- The androgynous look
- The body type balancing act
- Rethinking the skinny
- The statuesque inverted triangle
- Dressing your age
Top 10 categories:
- Body type (winner by far!)
- Casual wear
- Winter 2006/2007
- Instant style tips
- Wedding wear
- Event wear
- European style
- Men’s style
- Accessories
- Dress codes
Here are my favourite posts:
- High style in Hong Kong (my home town!)
- The pretty pear (so many people found this useful)
- Gap’s decline (fascinating industry story)
- Perfect pant lengths please (my pet peeve)
- Rethinking the skinny (I warmed to skinnies… especially for riding boots)
- The flop proof outfit (such an easy formula)
- Look slimmer in your clothes (skinny is unhealthy, but slimming never hurts)
- The power of accessories (the key to your fashion personality)
- Perfect polish (the importance of grooming)
- Wearing yellow (the “it” colour this season)
Perhaps you’d like to share some of your favourites?

Congratulations Angie!!! I’m addicted to your blog. I read it first thing every morning and on the weekends, I feel compelled to hit F5 in hopes that might have posted something anyhow
Thank you for such excellent, practical, and timely advice.

Congratulations, Angie!
You’ve created an amazing library of style insights in just one year!
Some of my favorite posts include:
-The flop proof outfit
-Any that tell you how much of something you need (bras, shoes, jeans)
- I loved all the discussions about whether or not models were too skinny
-I love to hear about stores around the world!
Can’t wait to see what the next year of posts will bring!

Fabulous! I can scarcely believe it. Bravo, Angie!!!
So many favs to pick from, here are a few of mine: The 3 Bag Complement; Angie’s picks/must haves for any season; Discussions on industry/modeling etc; How to care for garments.
I’ve learned so much–pant lengths are now my pet peeve and buying a little black dress or evening wear when you don’t need it is brilliant advise.
Here’s to year #2! Go, Angie, go!!!

That’s so great Angie! I look forward to it every day.
I especially love it when I go out of town for awhile – I come home to the fun and decadence of gorging on 10 days of youlookfab at a time! You’ve done such an amazing job. Kisses and kudos on your first blog year. Xo L

Hurray!! Congratulations, Angie!
You started this blog when I had a one-month-old and was still wearing old maternity clothes. I knew I needed to rebuild a wardrobe but had no idea where to start! As an artist, I usually would wear anything I didn’t mind getting paint on but I did not want to be a slob in old t shirts and jeans in my new stay at home life. Then you came along and have showed me the light. I definitely dress way more on the casual side, but now I can find combinations of clothes to wear so I feel put-together and stylish while I am at the park with my daughter or even at the grocery store.
My favorite posts are:
Anything to give pear shape advice
The random Tilex tip (it works!)
Pants length posts
The entire Shopping Strategy section
Bravo, Angie and thank you for your hard work!!

I can’t believe that it has been one year! Congratulations, Angie! You have always been and will forever be my fashion goddess! You are the blog i read daily and i am so much the more fashionable for it! I am constantly told how “with it” i am in the fashion department and i owe it all to you! As a mom of 2 young children, i manage to put my “uniform” of jeans and some type of t-shirt together with style - thanks to your flop proof outfits and getting rid of all those post-maternity clothes that were way too big for me! The entry about accessories also makes my “uniform” complete.
Thank you thank you, Angie. HUGE success in your #2 year!
Your adoring #1 fan!
3 kisses!

Congratulations! I just started reading this blog a little over a month ago, and I’ve already picked up so many great tips and ideas. I’ve mined your archives quite a bit, too. My favorites have been posts concerning organizing your closet and weeding out old clothes (since that’s what I’m currently in the process of doing).
Thanks for such a great blog!
