Links à la Mode: May 5th

I am honored to be part of the IFB's Links à la Mode for May 5th.  It is full of great tips about classic wardrobe pieces, keeping yourself from impulse buying, and tips for saving  when you do want to treat yourself.  


Happy Saturday lovelies!

This  week's Links a La Mode demonstrates the one thing we fashion bloggers  aren't afraid to do. Give advice. With all the shopping, hunting,  reading and networking we do across a multitude of channels, it's no  surprise that we develop certain skills when it comes to finding the  best bargain, tracking down the ultimate vintage find or just knowing  how to dress for our body type. Read up on all of this week's posts  featured in Links a la Mode for a wealth of information for everything  from dos and dont's to curbing those nasty little shopping habits we all  can be guilty of here and there.

Hi darlings and hope you're having a great weekend!

I am honored once again to be part of Links à la Mode for March 24th.  I am especially happy because my short and simple post highlighted a few areas where we can all contribute in some way to Japanese relief, including how we can shop and give at the same time!
This week, I also enjoyed reading about the making of Hermes scarves and how to make your own fishtail braid (intrigued and want to experiment with this myself).

As the World Turns, Edited by Fajr of StylishThought.com

With so much going on in the world, the Japan earthquake, the upheaval in Libya, the aftermath of John Galliano’s actions and the social phenomenon that is Charlie Sheen, it’s great to see the fashion blogging community talking about the issues and bringing a little light with the fancy of fashion! Included in this week’s amazing links: Shopping to Aid Japan Relief, an outfit post for Charlie Sheen, exploring the new neon trend and behind the scenes of how Hermes scarves are made!
