recreating outfits from the BEST app for style inspo! (rip pinterest)

my pinterest has been taken over by wedding planning so i'm turning to xiao hong shu more & more for my style inspo and outfit ideas! thought it would be fun to recreate a few looks with what i already own in my wardrobe

follow me on ig - @stealthespotlight
follow me on tiktok - @stealthespotlight

i only ever use the app so i didn't realise how random the generic explore page looks lol
once you create an account and like a couple of things the algorithm will bless you with a good feed!
here's some accounts i follow if you are struggling to get started;

It's not just you feeling that Pinterest isn't hitting the same anymore. Let's talk about the enshittification of Pinterest!
- way too many ads
- search results are nothing but shopping links
- results irrelevant to the keyword you searched
- showing you the same pins over and over
- bubbling your search results. For example if you've been pinning lots of thing related to knitting, when you search for "closet organization ideas" the results will be pins about knitting
- so much A.I. garbage
- showing you things you've already pinned over and over
Y'all tell me what else frustrates you about Pinterest. I love complaining!
Also share what you do to find creative inspo without getting trapped in the algorithm bubble ❤

The key to avoiding “Christmas-y” vibes in your red and green pairing is to make either the red or green muted/pastel—like you did here! Minty green with bright candy red or dark sage green with salmon pink is gorgeous and definitely underrated.

I was literally binge watching your videos and I saw this one and thought “oh how come I never saw this” and it’s literally just been published 😭😭😭 thank you beloved! love everything you do!

[chrysar]

this vid shows how you are supposed to make your kpop merch worth it.. just wear it!★ we love seeing our little cosmic creatures!

[valntxnx]

The plushie belt was giving harper from wizards of waverly place

[mazzy]

red and green is one of my favorite color combos!! Its so cute and people disregard it to much based on the Christmas association

[KittyPikaChu]

9:10 girl it’s actually giving apple, this outfit is adorable!!!

[lunar_dreams]

When I have no inspiration I go through your content! and I follow a few vintage JP stores!

[saposapitosapo]

FINALLY PEOPLE REALIZED XIAOHONGSHU IS SUPERIOR IM SO HAPPY

[radsiick]

your style is literally right up my alley!! i’m like 15 and it’s super hard to dress like this because of how bizarre it is to other people my age but you are a huge inspo to me!!! ❤❤

[xo_oblivion]

i love love the last outfit!! i normally dislike camo print but that outfit is just amazing!

[vaneruin]

All of the outfits are so cute!! I tend to get pretty much most of my fashion inspo from musicians and movies and TV but this seems like a good way to find ideas that are fresh!

[chrisdang]

Really like the belt and keychain idea

[kauelmoors]

I just love seeing how over the years you found your personal style! I started watching your videos as a teenager and since then many years past by and now Im a grown woman that also developed her own style! And even tho its different from yours I always love watching your videos. Because everytime I see at least one thing that inspires me so much!
My fav Inspo for years💗
Love from Germany!!✨

[chihu]

the two vintage store inspired looks at 12:12 just scream tokyo fashion to me idk but you'd totally rock the streets of harajuku and shibuya in those fits!

[E.M..]

Pinterest is mostly filled with ads now 😭 or trying to sell me something. Like, its so hard to find any inspiration.

[GravityFallsUp]

Red and green serving Christmas depends on the shade of green imo. Pastels green, khaki green and in the right context forest green with red (especially a burgundy) doesn’t look Christmas to me at all

[xbaby.blue]

you’re my absolute favorite youtuber ❤
this video is gonna change my life cause this app is gonna change my life, amazing, thank you for the rec!!!

[thegloriouschosenone]

the video finally made me take the jump and download xiaohongshu and im

also using cute art as outfit inspo is super smart im totally starting a pintrest board for it 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[tninotmaru]

The skirt on top of a skirt on top of another skirt 😭✨️ it's so insanely pretty!
Ah, the looking at art tip is my favorite thing to look for inspo! it doesn't need to be art with characters, I go for color palette inspo and textures with them 💁‍♀️✨️
