As I had mentioned yesterday I, along with 19 other fashion bloggers, was featured on the IFB Links a la Mode weekly roundup. My featured link was this post on DIY bleaching. Here is the IFB post in it’s entirety:

Rants & Raves
Edited by Ashe Mischief
I was taken aback when going through the submissions this week– there were so many powerful, strong, opinionated pieces that I felt really taken aback. With overwhelming positivity or negativity, the fashion community is finding it’s voice– and making themselves heard!
The fashion community is great at sharing the voice of others, and we’ve got several fabulous interviews to prove it. From Derek Lam at Poetic & Chic and White Rabbit’s interview with Irish woman Sinead Doyle (along with my own interview with Amelia Arsenic at Dramatis Personae), there are voices for everyone. We’ve got bloggers ranting on the lack of premium denim in plus-sizes at Denim Debutante (hell yeah!), and some showcasing inspirational figures like KOOS (at M.I.S.S.), Philip Crangi (at Eternal Masquerade), and Maria Felix (at Jewelry Whore).
There were so, so many great links this week, it really was hard to narrow it down to 2o. Check out the full listing of Links à la Mode here.

Um, that is really bad “editing” if she used “taken aback” TWICE in the SAME SENTENCE. WTH.
But congrats on being chosen! I love your DIY posts! I’m sure your rope necklace one will make it on too. I stumbled + loved that post!
Back when I submitted to IFB it was first come first serve. I do like it that they handpick the best submissions now. Going to check out the links!
