I’ve gone into total vacation mode, away from New York City, away from the office and deep into the mountains of Idaho. As far away as I am physically, I can’t escape our blogging community! (Not that I would want to, mind you.) I’m constantly reading, checking in, and scanning Twitter to make sure I don’t miss anything good. I’m so impressed with all of our community members who are balancing their family holiday time with keeping their blogs up to date. Here’s a sampling of the festive, fun and creative posts from this week.

At the risk of sounding like a Christmas song, isn’t this the most wonderful time of the year?

I love hearing all the Holiday music playing in the stores! Trees are getting trimmed, gifts are being purchased, and people for the most part, haven’t forgotten the true meaning of the season. I’m taking some time over the next few weeks to re-vamp my closet, bake some Holiday goodies, and make some new memories with my family and friends. However you may be spending the Holidays, be safe and keep the ones you love near to your heart. I will see you in the New Year! (more…)

This week’s selection for Links à la Mode takes us all around the globe and back again. From vintage shopping in Paris and Istanbul to picking the best from fashion week’s abroad, our community is buzzing with news and thoughts from overseas.

Of course we couldn’t leave out the more local stories entirely, so we’ve sprinkled in a selection of topical inspirations from our American bloggers. Menswear. DIY projects. Ethical debates in advertizing and journalism. And, that’s just the start! (more…)
