Links A La Mode - the IFB Weekly Roundup

Being a part of a community is just amazing. So much fun: you have this warm feeling that you're not doing it alone. It's so supportive and important in every entrepreneur's life. You also get great exposure and many opportunities to take advantage of when being in a group.

I'm a part of Independent Fashion Bloggers. Every week we can participate in Links a la Mode - submit our best article of the week. At the end of the week, the editors choose twenty best stories. There are usually over 100 submissions. Upon being chosen you have to post the whole list of links to the twenty winning articles. That means that if your article gets selected as one of the twenty, not only you get exposure on the Independent Fashion Bloggers site but also on the 19 other blogs that will repost the list.

I was lucky my article Me Day - How to Make a Personal Day off Perfect got selected as one of the twenty this week. Please see the list of other chosen features below.

 

Things Are Gonna Change... I Can Feel It!

Edited by Jessie Thorpe of Denimology
On Monday morning, my life will change. I am having my muffin top and all of my shiny silver stretch marks removed from my fleshy, live-giving form. I'm having plastic surgery, a tummy tuck to be exact, and yes I'm talking right out loud about it. This decision has had my head in a tizzy fashion wise, sending me searching for some fashion guidance to compliment my new figure. I've really been inspired by nostalgic what-comes-around-goes-around fashion trends, feel good fashion and a variety of "Top (insert number here)" lists. 90's trends seem to be popular in the fashion blogosphere; you kids are talking about sheer clothes, color blocking and threads ripped to shreds. I'm really appreciating the inspirational instruction given by all you clever e-journalists. We've been instructed on how and what to wear for the season, how to pamper little ol' you and feel good about it too!
