Fashionable Reading – Links a la Mode

This has been a really stellar week for me and my blog. Not only was my post “Three Glamorous Lipsticks (From the Drugstore!)” chosen to be part of this week’s Links a la Mode, but Bella posted a delightful article about me on The Citizen Rosebud.  If you haven’t seen it please check out Heather Fonseca: Doll Designer vs. Personal Style Blogger.

There are a number of talented individuals joining me on the Independent Fashion Bloggers line up of the best posts of the week, but one in particular has written a really inspirational post.  If you are a fashion blogger be sure to read Over 50 Feeling 40: “Beginning to Process how bloggers can make a difference for small businesses”.  The author makes a very good case for supporting unknown designers and small companies.  Yes, I do love Chanel, Gucci and Tom Ford, but it’s nice to see some other designers being featured on fashion blogs too. In December I always start thinking of goals for the new year.  One of them will definitely be writing about lesser known and local designers here on The Style Confessions.

I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend.  Happy Christmas shopping!

Links For Your Holidays!

Edited by: Collette Osuna of Statements in Fashion

At the risk of sounding like a Christmas song, isn’t this the most wonderful time of the year?

I love hearing all the Holiday music playing in the stores! Trees are getting trimmed, gifts are being purchased, and people for the most part, haven’t forgotten the true meaning of the season. I’m taking some time over the next few weeks to re-vamp my closet, bake up some Holiday goodies, and make some new memories with my family and friends. However you may be spending the Holidays, be safe and keep the ones you love near to your heart.  I will see you in the New Year!
