links à la mode: the IFB weekly roundup {february 11, 2016 edition}

You are ready. You’ve made plans. You’ve laid out your wardrobe. You’ve purchased gifts. {if you haven’t, see gift guides} But. But what? Something is missing. Oh yes, that’s right, significant other. One minor detail. However, IFB bloggers have you covered. Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be just about romance, but a love for all of the favorite people in our lives. This week there is a lovely assortment of gift guides and ways to celebrate this love holiday.

Valentine’s Day also became a theme to draw inspiration from for a creative story and photoshoot. Not your average blog post and something to consider when you are stuck for a topic. Also, interviews with a boss lady, a stylist, and a retailer give insight to their climb to expert status. That along with a list of blogger style icons give encouragement and, I hope, motivation in the business of blogging.

And no round-up would be complete without favorite fashion trends. Skinny scarves, monochromatic dressing, and the color yellow are all shared. All of which are worn to make an impression. Check out an in depth look into Marc Jacob’s recent ad campaign. Also, the first post with a glimpse into New York Fashion Week. It’s finally here, and I can’t wait to see what strikes you all.

So, whether you are spending it with your significant other, bestie, child, or watching Netflix with Mr. Ben and Mr. Jerry, let Valentine’s Day be a day to remember those we cherish. I will be making valentine’s and watching Masha and the Bear with a four year old.
