Fashion’s Bold Step Forward
Edited by Ashe Mischief /Dramatis Personae
To be honest, I’ve been really excited about the content on the web lately…. because each week, it seems that fashion & style bloggers are making a bold step forward. In a niche that was once dominated by runway photographs and personal style posts, we’re evolving to include daring, thoughtful, provocative posts as well.
I am continually shocked and amazed by the range of posts… from wearabout’s post on androgynous Indian men and Style Amor’s post on Arab women in fashion to posts about fashion blogging as a career at Style Eyes fashion blog.

Cher´s last blog ..New! Am I a Shoe?
Were you so generous as to post Links a la Mode even when you weren’t included? If so, I think I will take your lead and do the same from time to time. I love the theme and that Ashe appreciates our depth!

❤ Hi Laura – I always try to post the Links even on weeks
I’m not included, (or didn’t even enter a post for
consideration.) There’s such a great assortment of
talent shown each week. I’m happy to be part of such
a great group and like to pass on their work to
DDD readers. I really love Ashe’s message too!
