Links à la Mode : The Indpendent Fashion Blogger

Happy Thanksgiving to all you in the US (and ahem, expats abroad)! For those of you waiting for the Turkey to roast here are some great links for  you to go through…  Some thought provoking articles from 39th and Broadway, letting us in on how the stores know what’s going to be hot way before we do. The Dapper Kid on how the industrial revolution affected mens sizing. If you’re worried about dieting for the holidays, Dramatis Personae tells us why dieting is a dirty word, and Mademoiselle Robot picks out some great outfits for Thanksgiving dinner (key… stretchy). And for the holiday season, Retro Chick shows us sequins for all occassions!

If you’ve missed this weeks round, no worries, there is always next week, you can sign up in the forums by clicking here. Links à la Mode keep getting better and better, the more you participate the better everyone gets.
