Links à la Mode : The IFB Weekly Roundup

Are You a Follower of Fashion?

Edited by: Ann of Holier than Now

Last  week marked the end of New York Fashion Week.  Post-show, the editors,  buyers and bloggers went to work to define and list the trends, hoping  we'll follow along.  But for many of us, the sheer shirts of Spring '11  were are about as realistic for our wardrobes as a meat dress.  Instead, we looked outside of Lincoln Center at the street style of individuals,  hoping to find the inspiration to zig when everyone else is zagging.  This week's post celebrates the path less ... followed, with  counterpoints on everything from current trends to blogger compensation and competition.
