Examples of good and bad websites

I researched hundreds of websites to find some good examples of sites that are designed nicely or really badly. This website : http://www.instyle.co.uk/fashion/get-the-look  


has really cool section with celebrity looks and clothes we can use to create that look. I will also have very similar section on my site as I find this really helpful for other women to see that it's not hard to create a celebrity look.

This site had really nice design and I took a lot of inspiration from that: 
http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Whats-New

Almost all of my clothes are from this site. I absolutely love the simplicity of this website. Really nice design. Simple and classy:



The website: http://www.fashion.net/fashion/ is in my opinion badly designed and I tried to avoid things the designer done on this site. For instance in order to get to desired place you had to click many times before you reached the right place. Also the site only links you to different websites that sell their products. The layout is a bit boring and looks too cybernetic to me. I am not sure what "pets" section has to do with shopping for fashion? 














Another really cool idea of the website. The picture of a model has little numbers on her clothes. Once you click on the number the item that she is wearing is pictured and you can buy it by clicking on it. Really cool! 


This website has really bad design: http://www.fashionideas4u.com/fashionideas/dress 

Firstly it has broken links and few spelling mistakes. The painful background colour distracts you from reading the text and the animated images gave me headache. Also when clicked on "dress" tab lots of other stuff appeared that is not related to the tab at all. I really don't like this site!
