This Monkey’s Gone Too Heaven

Not that I’m calling myself a monkey, I am now realizing, that is probably not the best header—what I’m saying though is that I’m extremely excited and honored! More Exposed Bits was chosen as one IFB’s weekly link roundup. I guess this is what you call payoff, no?

The Dos and Don’ts of Style

Edited by Debutante Clothing

I just turned 35. It’s a landmark year not just chronologically, but style wise. I am now approaching that next age bracket in the How to Dress for Your Age features in mags. You know the ones. Thank goodness for my blogger pals here at Independent Fashion Bloggers. You’ll find some of the best style guides here this week. Guides such as Mischief My Dear’s advice on finding the perfect LBD and Fasshonaburu’s Spring 2010 trends guide. But beware the urge to dress too sexy. 39th and Broadway tells you why toddlers and stilletos don’t mix, andSquareectomy questions the taste level of visible thongs. Enjoy!
