So I’m 2 days late of posting this from when I wanted to but oh well!

Every month, at the end of the month, I will be featuring some links to interesting articles.  Primary topics will be Fashion, Fashion Shows, and Textiles, but I will also attempt to remember to include all the other random nifty things that I come across throughout the month.  (I subscribe to 3 google alerts, hence the topics covered haha).  If you stumble across some nifty articles you think would be awesome in my list, please feel free to contact me and I will definitely include it 🙂
