Links à La Mode is Back

by Kena Paranjape on May 18, 2009

Editor's Note: I stopped partaking in Links à la Mode a few months back as the lists were getting too long. Then the list was reduced to the first twenty submissions, but since the administrator lives in London, it meant posting in the middle of the night. Now, a guest editor selects the best twenty posts - In Life and In Fashion is back in the game!
