Blogger Love: Color Lust and Unexpected Trends


This week's edition of Blogger Love includes guides for wearing 2016's hottest hues. Lisa Walker of Independent Fashion Bloggers has this take on the latest roundup:

Colors, hues, and shades, oh my! In addition to the discussion of the 2016 Pantone colors and the who, what, where to wear them, shades of blush and black seem to have made it to the top of the honorary colors list. Now, perhaps it has to do with the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday, but I was still loving all the color stories IFB bloggers were telling. Please continue to gear up for the holiday of love, and I’ll look forward to a few more love and color centric posts as the 14th of February nears.
Large or small, wardrobes can make or break getting ready for the day or a night out on the town. Read up on tips to building a capsule or classic wardrobe that will make you think twice the next time you are out shopping. Plus, reasons why and how to hold on to that leather coat. Also, a look back to a time before blogging, as well as services and point of views to consider in the business of blogging.
And proof that I must live under a rock surfaced when two fashion trends emerged that had yet to make it on my radar. Faux freckles and cape blazers. What?

Blogger Love: Daily Elegance

LALM_1.14.16
Lisa Walker from the Independent Fashion Blogger community curated this week's round-up of the best fashion posts. what content moved her the most:

One of the best themes posed by bloggers this go-round was to incorporate more elegance into our daily lives by wearing those special occasion wardrobe pieces that are usually hiding in the darkest parts of our closets. Why not dress up or down a glamorous suit? Why not wear sequins everyday? I asked a similar question recently, except it was rhinestones with a muumuu. That’s no typo for Miu Miu, I really mean muumuu.
While muumuus weren’t on any IFB bloggers trends to watch list, I can’t imagine why, there were many to consider. Colors of gray, rose quartz and serenity blue, and florals of various hues. And no matter the color, oversized long cardigan sweaters and long vests seem to be not just a new trend but the new essential.
Many also found themselves inspired by designers and brands they love. There was insight into a show for up-and-coming designers, on traveling to Montreal, must-haves in the business of blogging, and a most charming list of umbrellas.
And of course this week’s roundup would not have been complete without some mention of the Golden Globes his and hers red carpet fashion, and the life and style legacy of David Bowie.

Blogger Love: Guide for Gents & Ladies


I apologize I haven't updated this blog as often the past week. I was out on the West Coast for a week, then dashed off to Upstate NY for Thanksgiving. I hope all of you had the chance to enjoy the holidays with your loved ones, or at least some peeps you're fond of. Me? I stuffed myself and binge-watched the first half of Netflix's Jessica Jones, playing "Where's Waldo" with myself to find my elbow in the background of episode 4 (I moonlight as a TV extra, not a stalker). 

This week's Blogger Love contains helpful guides for ladies and gentlemen for all sorts of fashion occasions. Enjoy:

Blogger Love: Working Your Fall Colors:

LALM.10.8.15
While IFB bloggers, like always, covered their favorite trends, many covered their favorite colors for this Fall – Mustard, Marsala {Burgundy}, Gray, and Camel.  With the use of Fall colors and recent trends, bloggers showed their favorite ways of transitioning Summer wardrobes into Fall.
Fashion week was still a strong theme and really hit on how each region’s designers show true {cultural} colors in their Fashion Weeks.  A closer look into Milan, Paris, and an alternative Berlin Fashion Week will give readers a glimpse of these differences.  And someone was still reminiscing about her recent trip to New York City during their fashion week… which gave me pangs of longing for the Big Apple.
My longing continued for my home away from home with coverage of two very different New York City events – Sinatra and The Blonds.  Thank goodness no one covered New York City restaurants; I don’t think my heart could have taken it.   - By Ice Diva Star of IFB

Blogger Love: The End of Summer?

LALM_8.6.15
Accessories were a strong theme this week with posts about handbags, eyewear, jewelry and shoes.  Followed by trends that IFB Bloggers are currently obsessing over.  How to pull off wearing sheer in the real world, high-waisted skirts meet cropped tops at just about any age, and tassels aren’t just for the drapes anymore.
We had a couple soap box moments regarding fashion sizing and why women deserve more pockets.  Love the passion!
Some real life posts about the struggles of finding your dream paying job, dealing with blogger burnout, and how fashion can help uplift spirits in some of life’s most sorrowful times.
Oh, and guess who uttered “Fall” already, as in a Fall nail color collection in their post?  {gasp}  Summer Ends?

Blogger Love: Summertime Style



As I read through the submissions for this week, I couldn’t get the music of George Gershwin’s Summertime from Porgy and Bess out of my head.  With each post of Summer Fashion, the lyrics would start over, “Summertime, And the livin’ is easy…”  So, IFB Bloggers, I suggest background music this week as you click through these inspiring links. {My favorite Summertime rendition is performed by Billie Holiday}    -Kim Toomey

Blogger Love: Beyond the Hype

lalam0205

In Fashion, it's hard to tell what's really real. There is so much hype around everything. So many euphemisms, so many sales gimmicks, and so much "positioning" that to get to what really is going on... that takes some hard looks. This week we have quite a few thought-provoking posts that have us question the very surface of the fashion industry. About diversity, about diversions and about those tricks they use to make us buy.

Blogger Love: Style, Personalized.

 Edited By: Taylor Davies
The submissions for this week's Links a la Mode were a total turn around from last week's, but isn't that always the way with blogging? One week you want to talk about the Prada exhibit at The Met, and the next you want to share your DIY for a fabulous studded collar. As bloggers we each try to own our niche and develop a personality, but the fun is in being able to expand; to shift gears and to evolve our content any way we choose. The 20 links below represent a myriad of personal points-of-view, from color obsessions to trend tips learning to love dressing for yourself and no one else.
