Weekly Links à la Mode de IFB - 7/30/09

July 30, 2009


"The Elements of Style"

Edited by Retro Chick

"Whether it’s Winter or Summer, relentless rain or an unceasing heatwave where you are, this weeks Links a la Mode is packed with entertainment to keep you out of the sun/rain/wind.

If you plan to travel to escape your current weather conditions then Hi Fashion has some great travel tips and Idiosyncratic Style has some ideas for easy fashion DIY projects you can take with you.
Other highlights this week include a hilarious mans view on some Celebrity Fashion choices from Unfunded, Our Ocean’s coverage of Vivienne Westwood’s appearance on Jonathan Ross and Style Amor’s refusal to buy a wedding dress, as well as some insightful interviews and gorgeous give-aways.

Choosing just 20 links from the number of fantastic submissions is a challenging task and this week I found it particularly hard to whittle down the numbers so be sure to go and check out the rest of the links in the full Links a la Mode thread."

Independent Fashion Bloggers Weekly Links

March 12, 2009

I just joined Independent Fashion Bloggers and learned about this link swap, so I hope to participate weekly in either posting or being featured, although being featured is sort of an early bird catching the worm thing. And let's just say I often don't feel well and perhaps even lounge and laze about ... like today! LOL. At least it's a perfect opportunity to share some reading elsewhere, where on my own site, there's probably too much brain mush to really write articles. ;-) Enjoy these honestly good reads. <3 Ella
