Lovely Links

Y wythnos dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg. [This week I've been learning Welsh.] And so have had no time in front of a computer. At all. Therefore, sorry for the lack of comments on the blogs that I usually read. Normal service should resume this week. This also means that I haven't really found half as many posts for this week's lovely links as I might have liked. So, please can I ask that you leave your favourite links from the week in the comments for us all to enjoy. Thank you.

Therefore, without further ado, this week I've been reading:

Clockwise from top left: Independent Fashion Bloggers are bringing their famous conference to London next month - do you have your ticket yet? I do! This week's Friend Friday was DIY Manis which of course was one of my favourites... ever! This weekend, as the sun hid away again, I accessed the merits, or otherwise, of different fake tans; After having a fringe cut last week I've been learning how to blow dry it professionally (via A Model Recommends); and over at The Beauty Department you can enroll of Hair Bootcamp!

Again, please leave your week's reads in the comments below.

This week, I've been reading:

Clockwise from top left: The Simply Luxurious Life: Why Not... Get Organized? Blogger Style Icon: Grit and Glamour; Street Style London: Stand By Your Man; What Was I Wearing: Royal Garden Party; Forever Amber: Blogging For Bucks: Why I Don't Just "Blog For Me"; and IFB: A Guide To Using Your DSLR For Bloggers.

Style is what you make it. We are all different and beautiful in our own ways. Many of us have different techniques to display how we want to present ourselves. Some people are very "structured" "prim and proper" and live by a color scheme while others go wild with mixing patterns and have the "unpolished" and "don't care" look. It's all about where you get your inspiration from and your personality in general.

Here are some classic quotes on style:

• "Fashion fades, style is eternal." -YSL
• "Fashion is not something that exist only in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." -Coco Chanel
• "'Style' is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style." -John Fairchild

This week: Lovely Links

I know many bloggers already do a round-up of their favourite blog posts of the week but I find myself reading so many fabulous and inspiring posts from some of my favourite bloggers across the blog-o-sphere each week that I feel the need to add to these posts.

This week, I've been addicted to:


Clockwise from top left: How to: Braided Bun; IFB: The Reality of Blogging While Working a Full-Time Job; The French Women Beauty Myth, or Happy Bastille Day; For the love of: The anklet; What Carrie Bradsahw Taught Me About Aging & Getting Old (recommended by Mrs B); and Blogger Style Icon: B Jones Style.

If you have a favourite post from the blog-o-sphere that you've read this week, let me know in the comments here and it might get added to next week's Lovely Links. And if you happen upon a post you think simply must be featured over the next week, be sure to tweet me the link.

Have a happy Sunday.
