Links A la Mode: Week of August 18th

I have been feeling a little down this week. Perhaps it's the weather (tons and tons of rain) or perhaps it's the pressure I have been putting on myself to turn out five interesting and well edited posts a week.  Regardless I was in need of a little pick me up, a pat on the back, a gold star sticker.  Something affirming, something... like being included in this weeks' Links A la Mode on the Independent Fashion Blogger website this week!  I really appreciate the blog love that IFB has sent my way so I am sharing the weekly round up with all of you.  Let's pay it forward, visit some of the blogs on the list, leave a comment and show the independent bloggers some love.  I write about fashion and style because it's what I am passionate about, I would say all (or almost all) bloggers are writing for this reason too.  Sometimes though it's nice to know that someone else appreciates something that you wrote.  Thanks for reading.

The seasons are changing and as fashion and or style bloggers, you know what that means? Time to switch stuff up! Whether it be your content or your wardrobe, I always look at the seasons as a time for change-- a time to gather inspiration from the streets or from your heart and just run with it. This week's roundup talks about issues such as "The issue fashion blogs may be facing" to "Finding the perfect fall color palette."  All important topics, right?  Needless to say they're interesting reads and certainly make the mind wander. Enjoy!
