Links I ♥ : 08.01.10

Hollllllaaa! How was everybody’s week? I’m super sunburnt right now, but happy as a clam. :D This “Links I ♥” will be a little short this week because I have some pretty pressing matters to attend to (i.e., writing a story for a local magazine!). Anyway, hope you all got to enjoy some sunshine like I did. If you didn’t, try to make some time for it this week. Before you know it, summer will be over!
♥ The photo above is from this.is.epic.’s photostream on Flickr. I think I’m in love. Strike that, I know I am.
♥ Ever wanted to give your own photos that “cool retro analog effect”? Well, never fear, this tutorial tells you how.
♥ So, Annie Spandex, an internet style icon/girl crush of mine, commented here last week & I couldn’t have been happier. Is that cheesy? Anyway, if you’ve never visited her blog, do it. Now. Seriously.
♥ Amanda Lee tell us how to do more with the clothes you have instead of buying more. Really useful tips for any savvy shoppers (or wannabes!) out there. I also really liked her post about what she’s looking forward to about autumn 2010 (& trust me, getting me excited about saying goodbye to summer is extremely hard to do!)
♥ Funny that last week I decided I was going to start taking outfit photos, & this week Jennine @ Independent Fashion Bloggers told us how to take your own outfit photos.
♥ Everybody has bad habits–even when it comes to style. Sparkle & Glitter asks what your ‘style sins’ are.
♥ Marie Forleo is a biznazz genius. If you’ve got the entrepreneurial spirit, you should read her blog. And specifically, this post about clarity.
♥ From StyleSample: Set Up Your Online Portfolio includes some pretty cool portfolio examples (yes, inspiration!)
♥ BTW, I never gave them a chance until last week, but The Black Keys are actually as awesome as everybody says they are. Proof below:
♥ Mascara or Motor Oil is a style blog by a fellow Ohioian! Sup, girl?
♥ The adorable Corrine from Frock&Roll dishes her tips for becoming a better writer.
♥ I really like Casey’s Musings.
♥ These Givenchy lace-up booties are SO HOT I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT THEM.
♥ I’ll leave you with a lyric my friend Brea had as her Facebook status (seriously, the best place to find inspiration. Or be thoroughly annoyed):
& since we know an end will come, it makes our living fun.
xoxo

@Brittany – They really are. & I love the nail polish (but I love her long, pin straight strawberry blonde hair even more!)

Awww, thank-you so much for the mention, Erica Lee! Good luck with your piece for the magazine and grab some aloe vera gel for that ouch-y sunburn, stat!
