LINKS À LA MODE: WEEKLY ROUNDUP 07/21
Great news! Just made it to this week’s Links à La Mode from the IFB website.

Pea(k)cocking
There’s no denying that our mood is strongly influenced by the weather, be it in a positive or negative manner. Usually, when waking up to a sun-shiny day, you brighten up, put a smile on your face and feel an urge to dress accordingly: no wonder color makes an appearance this time of the year…

It’s one thing to draw...
