I’m a huge fan of the independent/unique/real/fabulous fashion site, StyleLikeU; the mother-daughter team over there makes these incredible videos about men and women with REAL style, much of it handmade, restructured, reimagined and just plain not ordinary (which is kinda like how I like to dress!)

One of the “Dailies” videos spends a few minutes with Samantha Urbani, who says, of her thrifted, self-created ensemble’s giant patch, “It’s everything I feel good about. At once. Sequins and a positive environmental message.” Talk about style ethics!

Check out more on StyleLikeU here….you might get sucked in though (fair warning)!
