Our network partners have been doing their market work--with textiles research, beauty product reviews, and new brands to mention, they are surely keeping themselves busy.

The Coveted, always hip on the hipsters, wrote a narrative shoutout to Complex Geometries. The aesthetic reasoning is simple, she decides in the end. 

Tulle is also one of OUR favorite things, as silly as it sounds, and so we were happy to see Fashion Nation reporting on the bridal confections of a blogger as today's conversation. 

BellaSugar talked about that which we want to know but are too afraid to ask: how to use that mysterious black head extracting tool we've seen in the beauty parlor. 

Holiday Look Books from Lyell are like hot chocolate and a warm bath at the end of a long day. Stylebite knows how to treat her readers right.

Today it rained all day and we thought it was Thursday by accident but that didn't stop us from getting down to business and keeping the fashion momentum--nor did it stop our Network Partners!.

We learn about a new brand every day...Clothes Pin gave a shoutout to Hoakon/Helga, a new eco-friendly accessories company based in Canada.

We received a tutorial on Takashi Murakami from Fashion Nation as part of an ongoing course on Japanese designers. We think her investment in talking about the East in the West is a wise one. 

Sandra Backlund might not be an unknown designer but we agree with The Bread And Butter that her designs are positively mesmerizing

Finally, this post was the sweetest in our Network today. Kingdom Of Style talked about receiving a gift and also the more meaningful merits of blogging

There were three posts from our Network Partners this week that had us slobbering over pants--not an easy feat considering how downright unprepared we feel to slither into our skinnies again. This morning Style Bubble documented her DIY savvy by slashing a pair of jeans to bits.

There were three posts from our Network Partners this week that had us slobbering over pants--not an easy feat considering how downright unprepared we feel to slither into our skinnies again. This morning Style Bubble documented her DIY savvy by slashing a pair of jeans to bits. We're seeing this trend all over the place and it's not just the DIY fashionistas who indulge. Denimology also picked up on this trend by highlighting the top-notch denim offering by Balmain this Spring 09. The denim from the collection might not reveal too much skin but the idea is still there; it's all about jeans that are tight and frayed. Feeling a little overwhelmed with the prospect of denim, Fashion Nation gave it up to a pair of faux-leather leggings that touch on all the right trends. Namely, the ever-popular exposed zip look. Is it just us or is it time to head to the gym?
