~Links ala Mode: Feb 24 & EL Vintage Winner~

The View from Here

So the time has come for me to pass the baton to the next Links a La Mode curator, but in reflecting on the last few months I'm amazed at the diversity of aesthetics, lifestyles and opinions I've discovered gathering these links each month. It's a great view from here in the blogosphere: whether it's up close at Fashion Week from the comfort of your chair) a new take on what you see in the mirror, or a peephole into the world of stylish women from Scotland to Spain (and everywhere in between).

But Links a la Mode is also about putting yourself on view! If you're reading this and you publish a blog, why not bookmark the link to submit your Links a La Mode posts here and make a repeating event on your calendar to drop by each Tuesday of the week with your latest and greatest post? I'll see you there...

I was so very touched that my weight loss success story was chosen by the Independent Fashion Bloggers as one of the 20 best links of the week!! I'm in excellent company with so many rocking posts, and feel this weeks links are some of the very best!! Make sure you stop by the other featured posts and spread some Statements in Fashion Love:)

In light of me telling my journey, I have created a weight loss blogger group for anyone who is interested in getting a little extra support. We all need a little help now and again, and losing weight with supportive friends is a super fab idea if you ask me!!

I know being accountable to someone other than the scale was a HUGE help to me:)

The group will have weekly weigh ins on Mondays, and will share eating plans, exercise tips, etc. throughout the week.
