links à la mode: the IFB weekly roundup {january 7, 2016 edition}

Is everybody ready? I’m not. You all seem to be on the ball. Several posts on how to start out the new year. Simple direction on what and where to start first, and on top of that list is cleaning out the closet. Others are reflecting on their 2015 fashion and making detailed plans for 2016. IFB Bloggers offered words of wisdom on the business of blogging as well as a subject to ponder, and a designer review that gives a slightly new spin on fashion forward.

With so much focus these days on being authentic, there sure is a lot of interest in faux fashion {interesting turn of events}. The current favorite trend is faux suede and fur… EVERYTHING. Also, athleisure wear, clever layering, and high pony tails paired with shoulder-scraping earrings, but not all those things together. At Least I hope not.

I thoroughly enjoyed the travel mixed with shopping destination posts. I would love to visit both places this year but am pretty certain they won’t be making that list.

So, I know that I want to read, make, learn, travel, and of course be healthier, but the details of each of those subjects are still a little bit fuzzy.
