Rogue Is The New Black

If you head over to Rogue’s Lifestyle Blog this evening you’ll find that it’s undergone some cosmetic surgery.

Nothing too drastic, however, we’ve felt it’s been in need of a few tweaks to take us through 2007. Of course, a few tweaks for us are usually fairly major - and never final. We’ve got one design up, and another one already on the go.

Look out for some new viral marketing features by way of ‘Add to Digg’ and ‘Add to Lipstick’ buttons (I can’t wait until we have a style spy version) and a much neater feel.

If you’re after our ‘What Impressed Us’ feature, or wondering where it’s got to, it’s now become a part of Rogue’s Lifestyle Blog over at Fashionising.

The move is a part of the major changes we’re implementing to our various fashion and lifestyle initiatives, with quite a few more changes coming soon.

Okay, this one is a day late so you’re going to have to excuse us. It was a public holiday yesterday and… who are we kidding. We were finally catching up on sleep after Fashionising’s extensive coverage of L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. To put it into perspective, the festival is over and we still haven’t got through all the photos we took.

But back to style spy’s best items for the week.

1. The ‘romantic’ fashion trend
2. Anna Tascha Larsson’s I’m With Stupid necklace
3. The come-back of the sixties with the current fashion trend. We’re tipping our hats to Sienna Miller for helping bring this one back in.
4. Parka and hells street style photo
5. Christian Dior’s Jeanne Nubuck medium bag

style spy has now received 1041 trend and fashion suggestions, with over 6550 votes having been cast.

To coincide with the preview of Fashionising, Rogue’s Lifestyle Blog has moved homes and now resides at www.fashionising.com/lifestyle/

At the same time, we’ve launched our coverage of the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival with coverage of the Levante and Jonathan Aston show.

With a quarter of the year almost gone there’s a massive influx of clothing from all the fashion show happenings, so we’re seeing many new trends hit style spy. But what’s impressing our members?

1. Miu Miu Leather and glitter ballet pumps
2. Lockheart Kate Duffle bag
3. Thick, blunt cut fringe as sported by our very own Tania. After topping last week’s list I think we have a trend setter in the making.
4. T-Bags Paris halter dress
5. Tibi Broderie Anglaise halter top

Despite all the submissions since January, the Apple iPhone still can’t be shaken and remains the hottest item out there. The hottest trend remains the Mini-dress trend, and Kate Moss remains our darling.

style spy now has 243 trend spotters, and 1010 items have been suggested. In total it’s recorded 6444 votes.

Today we’ve begun experimenting with a new feature in Rogue’s Lifestyle Blog, Daily Desires.

For the time being, and only if we consider the feature as having added value, we’ll be highlighting one fashion or culture item a day in the blog. Of course, the aim isn’t to take away from the blog’s existing content but rather to add to it.

As a part of the content experiment, we’ll be added each item to style spy to see what interaction we can cause between the two initiatives.
First up today is a ruffle skirt from designer Philip Lim.

Topping this week’s list was a street style outfit - a black vintage dress with gold embroidery, proving that the black and gold trend is still going strong.

1. Street Style - Vintage Black and Gold Grecian Dress
   
2. Generra Belted Dress
   
3. Victoria’s Secret Academy Awards Bra Swag
4. Diane von Furstenberg Laurus Jaquard Cropped Jacket
5. Lingerie Parade Show-Coverage

The Apple iPhone hasn’t budged from the top of the top list. The mini dress trend remains the most popular on style spy, while the most popular celebrity outfit is Kate Moss’ vintage white dress.

An accessory has again taken out the top spot in this weeks ‘What Impressed Us’ list, after the Roberto Cavalli Laser Cut Metallic Clutch topped the list last week.

1. Kenneth Cole Conscience Cufflinks
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Peep Toe Pump
3. Young, Fabulous & Broke ‘Heidi’ Long Dress
4. Miss Sixty ‘J-Lot’ Skinny Jean with Zips
5. The very sexy Provence Mini Dress from Diane von Furstenberg

The Apple iPhone remains top of the top list, while the most popular fashion entry is a street style look featuring a mix of denim mini-skirt, tailored jacket, and an umbrella. The mini dress trend remains the most popular on style spy, while side-parted hair has risen to be the most popular hair trend.

After being featured in the MX newspaper it’s been a busy week for style spy, but an injection of dedicated fashion audience has certainly helped influence current fashion trends. Unsurprisingly it was this weeks big announcement of Stella McCartney designing a range for Target that most influenced trends.

1. Trench coat by Stella McCartney for Target
2. Skylab Watch
3. The latest designs from the husband and wife design team Mike & Chris
4. Graham & Spencer Charmeuse floral tunic
5. Miu Miu Leather Slingback heels

The most popular suggestion remains the Apple iPhone, and the Mini-dress trend remains the most popular.

style spy has had 879 trends and fashion items submitted to it, and taken a total of 5643 votes.
