This week’s link round up is full of shopping and outfit inspiration – it seems like the community is in a very fashionable mood of late (not that you aren’t always!). Some of you are looking forward to fall, some are building your wardrobe of essentials and some are exploring shopping on a budget when you’re curvy. We also had some great submissions from some menswear bloggers in our community – it’s an all-around win!

Links à la Mode

One of the things that I like most about the blogosphere is the fashion communities. Everyone knows about Lookbook and Chictopia, but I recently joined a site called IFB, which is short for Independent Fashion Bloggers. It's so much more than posting your looks, it basically works as a 101 handbook to all the bloggers. Every week, they put together a round-up of the best posts and my post about spicing up my skirt was featured!!
Below is the full round-up, so check out these great blogs! 

Spice Girls

Edited by: Jess of Fresh Jess

This week, the Spice Girls got together to announce their support for the upcoming musical Viva Forever, which is inspired by their Girl Power movement. The fearless, limitless supergroup has come so far since they burst onto the scene 16 years ago. They’ve inspired millions of girls around the world to go after their dreams, and paved the way for bloggers like you and I to share our individual styles and passions with the world. My picks this week reflect how IFBers are spicing up their life this summer. From Beetlejuice and the streets of Tokyo to the bright colors and light fabrics of the season, the variety of style expression has never looked so good. Even Victoria Beckham would be proud!
