This is fun! Here are a couple:

I've been fussing with my fine, uber-straight hair and have been trying to figure out ways to coerce it into an updo that holds in the summer heat. Toward that end, I have been intrigued by two items. The first is a blog called Hair Romance. The hairstylist who writes it developed 30 different styles and is selling a how-to e-Book, but I'm just enjoying the photos alone at this point:

The other item that caught my eye was this how-to on turban headscarf styles, which looks promising for restraining hair in the summer heat:

Last but not least, trouble in San Francisco, and around two of YLF's favorite topics: airport attire and saggy pants. Apparently a grieving young man returning from a friend's funeral was asked to pull up his sagging pants before boarding a flight, refused to comply and was arrested. It was revealed later in the week that a businessman is frequently allowed to fly the same airline in women's underwear: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/.....1K1EK2.DTL

Too late, I think, but I've loved the pictures of Michelle Obama with Nelson Mandela in South Africa. Such style, both of them and such fabulous colours!

Adding another post of Sal's which is resonating with me today:

Thanks ladies! All fabulous links. These last ones are too late for this week, though :(. Blog posts are prepped the day before, so perhaps post them for next week's link round up.

Do these have to be outside links? What if I am inspired by YLFers?

Did you ever wonder how to rock a vest?

Hey, Michelle! Corporette picked up your hairdryer link! http://corporette.com/2011/06/.....oundup-27/

OK, I am starting the round up for next week -
WSJ's math on $300 jeans:

This is for next week. I found this while browsing a while back. It is from 2001 Vogue, models dressed as rock stars. To me it proves that there is a timeless cool to rock style!

I like her simple outfit and adore her hair-do. I wish it would look like that on me! But the funniest thing is that she's in Berlin at the moment and these pics were taken not too far from where I live. I didn't wear something so summery yesterday, funny how differently people perceive the weather!

Hi all,
This is for next week. Someone sent it to me. Clothing as art.

Very inspiring and delightfully fun and creative, although completely unwearable.

This doesn't look new and is partly a foreign language site. I stumbled on it while looking
up the former editor of Vogue, Edna Woolman Chase.
""Concentrate completely on showing the dress, light it for this purpose and if that can't be done with art then art be damned. Show the dress. This is an order straight from the boss's mouth and will you please have it typed and hung in the studio".

The page is mostly, though, the fashion photography of John Rawlings. It says he introduced celebrities into the fashion shoot but primarily it's interesting for all the daylight and outdoor photography against which you see exceedingly well-dressed women a la Mad Men. From a day when it wasn't a mark against you that you
made a big effort to look put together. The article says he emphasized a less labor intensive glamour than European fashion but in our day that's not at all obvious!

I do like how well you can see the clothes and that most of them are not lying prostrate - something I hate in fashion photography.

And oh man look at Gene Tierney in that dark overcoat and shoulder bag, against a sort of packing crate wall.
