Should I be posting this thread on a Monday to give you more time to respond? I need to close the post on Wednesday afternoon in order to write the post for Thursday.

Let me know your thoughts if you have a better idea. As always, I thoroughly enjoy your links! Remember to write a little blurb with the link expressing your thoughts about it.

Thanks

This one from the New York Times cracked me up: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10.....l?src=recg. All about the fashion competition among New York moms picking their kids up at school.

I thought the reactions of others was funny. And this shows how ridiculous the artificial poses are that models have to do for a magazine spread, when done in real life settings.

Starting this thread on a Monday is a good idea I think, especially with some of us in different time zones.

I really love the blue and cognac oxford inspired heels that are being used throughout this presentation of the new collection:

Way too high for me, of course, but I will admire them from afar:-)

I also love the combination of the greyish lighter blue with the darker denim-y blue in several of the outfits.

I really love this fall outfit of Charlotta, especially how she accesorizes the simple fall dress with the scarf, belt, tights and boots in autumnal colors.

I'd appreciate a Monday notice if possible, thanks!

I enjoy Hourglassy's advice for full-busted lasses and found this an interesting tip for casual dress: a black t-shirt ups the 'classy factor' when it comes to showing cleavage.

"because a black tee shirt minimizes us everywhere, we can get away with a little more cleavage without looking like we’re trying to show off our assets"

Imogen's tips for posing for photographs:

Since there was a recent thread on how to pose for WIW's, and these tips were helpful for me. And I thought it might encourage some of the lurkers to give it a try and post their WIW's!

Imagine having to choose conference outfits that you know will be judged by people who judge outfits for a living.

Super!

Anything else, ladies?

Not sure if this is appropriate (more of a how to), but I found the idea intriguing:

I'm intrigued by this idea: using cool patterned plastic bags to create your own graphic tee. I've had a hard time finding flattering graphic tees that I like. I may try this idea out on a well-fitting v-neck tee for myself! And I guess you can make it "removeable" if you use a 50/50 cotton blend.

Angie, I wonder if starting a new thread right after you "close" the old thread would be even better? I know I'vestumbled on an interesting thing or two on the weekends, but I didn't remember them by the time this thread was opened.

I am also appreciating more time to post links, speaking for the scatterbrained amongst us

Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld is launching his own brand, Karl, in January. The collection, described as "rock chic" and considered a budget line, will be followed in Autumn 2012 by his upmarket brand, Karl Lagerfeld Paris.

I'm seriously excited by the prospect of these brands. There's no topping Chanel, but a Lagerfeld brand is intensely appealing. I hope the high expectations don't fall flat.

I second Kappy's idea of opening the new thread as soon as the old thread closes. That way, when we come across a fantastic link we can run over here and post it without having to keep track of it until the next "links" thread opens at YLF. (Which is pretty challenging for my poor little brain! LOL)

"rock chic" - great name!

Fab links! Thank you.

Okay ladies, we'll give that a shot this week. I must be obtuse because I'm not really understanding how the particular timing of the next thread soon hereafter will help, but we'll give it a whirl! However, I don't want to be in the position where I have to bump the thread daily, just so that it's visible for everyone all the time. How can I get around that?

I would like to recommend this blog (if it hasn't been linked before) as it is unique. The blooger uses sketches rather than photos to present style ideas; I like the way she writes as well.

Good point, Angie, I'd been thinking about that too. The only way to prevent the thread from continually disappearing from the first page is to make it a sticky thread, I think??
But is that possible if you need to start a new thread each week?

Just thinking out loud here;-)

Posting two links here for Los Angeles/Orange County-area YLF'ers:

Two days ago, the Today Show interviewed Bette Midler about her upcoming exhibit "The Collection of Bette Midler Exhibition" which takes place in Beverly Hills before the actual auction and best of all, it's FREE. I'll be seeing it Nov. 8 with a friend. Join us, if you'd like!

THE COLLECTION OF
BETTE MIDLER
EXHIBITION AT THE
JULIEN'S AUCTIONS BEVERLY HILLS GALLERY

Here's the link:

http://www.juliensauctions.com.....llery.html

The second link is a wonderful, small temporary exhibit of "theatrical costumes from Italy's world famous haute couture designers." Presented by the Wallis Annenberg Center for Performing Arts, Il Teatro alla Moda, Theater in Fashion, features Armani, Capucci, Valentino, Versace and Missoni, among others. It began Oct. 14 and runs only for four weeks. Admission is $10 and free on Wednesdays.

and
http://www.annenbergbh.com/

This is a very small space and you can see the exhibit in about an hour. The costumes are stunning! Hope you have an opportunity to enjoy one or both of these exhibits.

Perfect! Thanks again.

This thread is closed for links.

Inge, I think you have to keep on re-sticking a sticky thread - and will it go unnoticed? I'm not sure!
