Founders Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum are less interested in the clothes and more interested in the person living inside them, which gives their site the kind of depth missing from mainstream fashion blogs. Here you’ll find the musings of the most eccentric style mavens, including those of contributing editor James Flemons, who is featured in a slide show wearing a green vintage leather motorcycle vest six different ways. StyleLikeU.com also profiled designers Lizzy and Darlene Okpo, Nigerian-American sisters whose clothing line, William Okpo, mimics their own quirky fashion sense.  

If you want to add some creativity to your wardrobe, check out stylelikeu.com daily for a dose of aesthetic inspiration.
