When I get obsessed,
I get really obsessed.
And lately, I've been creepily fascinated by two specific blogs:....
The Photogramps and
 |
| The Photogramps |
 |
| Pardon My Fashion |
 |
| Pardon My Fashion |
These guys are just killing it on all fronts.
Not only are they seriously funny (like, funnier than me.
Like, I know.
Like, fer real.)
But they're intimidatingly smart
without being condescending.
Trust me,
as a person who gets belittled on a daily basis, I know better than anyone that a good dose of nonjudgmental eye-to-eyeness is hard to find.
Which is why I was pretty psyched (I'm fully aware that my vocabulary is akin to that of a pre-pubuscent teenager) that The Photogramps was featured along with myself on this week's Independent Fashion Blogger's weekly roundup list. Definitely felt inordinately cool.
Then, proving once again that it's a small, small (small, small) world, if you can believe it - the Photogramps actually did a little interview with the two girls over at Pardon My Fashion this week too (& they did one back)!

Look at that. 2 degrees of separation. Not even close to the requisite 6.
Below is the Links a la Mode info from Independent Fashion Blogger's website. Recommend the first blog post for some Gabby-esque texture v. clothing comparisons.

Absolutely Perfect
It's been a very long time since I've done the Links à la Mode Roundup, and I have to say, it was a treat to see so many thought provoking posts. From perfectionism, Pinterest, diversity in fashion, frowning in fashion, and how technology (and bloggers) affect our shopping. We also had a heartwarming story from a blogger who found a vintage item like her mother had years ago (imagine that!), and some great DIYs. There's a lot of great stuff in here, so take a look and see you next week!Links à la Mode: The IFB Weekly Roundup For March 7th:
