links à la mode: the IFB weekly roundup {may 5, 2016 edition}

Sometimes trends really aren’t trends at all. They’re just what we want to wear, period. IFB Bloggers were beaming about stripes, rompers, the perfect Summer crop top, pajama day wear, the color mustard, leather on leather, and large florals. And it’s this last one that made a great point about what may seem to be an oh-so-last-year trend, may really be just what was in order. Other editorial topics to read up on and consider blogging about yourselves this month include transitioning one outfit for multiple occasions, preparing for Summer, a proper book review, Mother’s Day, and the Met Gala. However, make sure you’re sourcing your facts correctly; read on for insight on fashion rumor mills.

No link up before a holiday weekend would be complete without a gift guide. In addition to a Mother’s Day guide, there is also a wonderful list of feminine chic bike helmets that your Mom would be just tickled to receive. My mom would take up bike riding in a heartbeat if she was promised a fancy helmet.
