This past week, I wrote a post (“Thrifting Politically“) inspired by the speeches given during the 2012 Democratic National Convention–namely President Obama’s speech, which focused on bringing back production to America. This is a topic that I have wanted to bring up for a long time. I know I only slightly touched on the subject of the fashion industry, production, and patriotism in this post. There is so much more to talk about! This is a topic I know I will be writing on again, once I have done more research.
It gave me great pride to have this post chosen as one of IFB’s (Independent Fashion Bloggers) Links à la Mode for this week! Thank you IFB for choosing a post that means to much to me!

Oh, FNO!
Since it’s inception, spearheaded by Anna Wintour and Conde Nast, Fashion’s Night Out has grown into a global celebration of fashion and retail – and an excuse to stay out late, sip on fancy drinks and maybe encounter a celebrity or two. Many of this week’s posts shared the FNO adventures of our global community – from London to Dusseldorf. There were also some wonderful illustration-infused submissions that breathed fresh life into the idea of an outfit post, as well as more than a few transportive, dreamy posts about Versaille, Louis Vuitton, dressing for the Alps and more…
