IFB Links à la Mode

We’re members of a group called Independent Fashion Bloggers, which is a really fantastic community and resource for anyone with a fashion blog. Each week, members can submit their best posts to be considered for an edited round-up of links. This week’s Links à la Mode includes us! Yay! You’ve probably already read about Ally’s Big Day Downtown, so here’s your chance to check out what other fashion bloggers have to offer. Enjoy!

Jealousy, Race, and Summer Jackets

Edited by: Thom Wong of The Sunday Best.
A veritable cornucopia of stylish reading awaits you in this week’s list. You’ll get taken on a tour of (rarely mentioned) downtown Halifax, discuss again whether any role model should be based on image, and look into doing the impossible with a dying medium. Along the way discover what tips men might have for women’s style, whether a closet can be perfectly unisex, and what Mormons might know about minimalism.
