I shared a link to the blog American Age Fashion (http://americanagefashion.com/ ) on the recent forum thread concerning 'old ladies.' It's a fascinating look at historical clothing choices of women over 50 in the US written by a retired professor. My favourites are the posts including old photographs of everyday women & the blogger's astute commentary on their outfits!

I personally find the link of feminism with marketing a fairly nauseating trend (the problems women face are not solved by shinier hair or using Dove) but it's interesting that it IS a trend.

Here are a couple of book titles to put some humor into the holidays or the new year. The first I heard about when I was returning some boots and the SA in the shoe dept. said this author used to work at her store and they were in the back room reading the book, laughing hysterically at every chapter. I can only imagine some of the horror stories from "Retail Hell: How I Sold My Soul to the Store Confessions of a Tortured Sales Associate," by author Freeman Hall.

The second book, "Downton Tabby" by author Chris Kelly, is for those who love cats in character, the "Downton Abbey" series and gorgeous illustrations of both!

This is a clip of some clothes from one of my favourite designers Yohji Yamamoto and some interesting insights from Irene Silvagni.

Really been loving these links. Spending way too much time reading back through whole blogs. In relation to that great article and comments section about wearing oversize minimalist clothes, had just read another blog where author opined that you can't wear large oversize clothes unless you were thin and tall. Immediately thought that was an explanation of why I couldn't. When I was thin, as a girl, (though never anything but short) this wasn't in style so I never tried it out then. Sure doesn't work well for me now.

From Linda Grant, an evaluation of how youthful style tends to evolve.
Severe criticism of the hippie style from the intriguing observation that
what cripples them is their original pursuit of authenticity when
"fashion is all about: surface, appearance"

I don't know how I found this link. If it was from a previous Link Love, then disregard But the most recent entry made me giggle - and think.

Oooh, off to explore your links, ladies. The Fashion Historian rings a bell, La Belle, but I can't immediately find it in a past post. Will check more thoroughly to be sure, but it's worth mentioning again for sure. Thank you La Belle, Vildy and Shevia.

I love the blog http://wearabout.wordpress.com/ which documents street style in India (especially the north-east part of the country). it's really unusual how runway photos are juxtaposed with photos of poor and homeless people, and sometimes the similarities are astounding. The outfits are often really fresh and creative to my eye, probably because in India a clothing item from the west is taken at face value, and stripped of all it's associations (it's place in fashion history, subculture, movies, style "rules", etc etc). I also love how western pieces are beautifully mixed with traditional pieces.

I found Verily magazine (they have a pretty awesome policy on photoshop, or the lack thereof.)

http://verilymag.com/

And I also found The Brain Scoop, an awesome science-y Youtube channel hosted by a lady who addresses some of her concerns about sexism and internet bullying here:

Thanks very much Eternalvoyageur. We actually mentioned it in Link Love quite a while back, it's an incredible site, isn't, it.

FlorenceFearne, amazing links too. We did Verily Magazine in October:
http://youlookfab.com/2013/10/.....-trousers/
So I'll use the Brainscoop video in today's post.

Thanks again all so much for the fantastic links. I'm closing the thread for this week, and will start a new thread on Monday 30 December (there won't be a Link Love post next week).
