Hi friends, I have an exciting update to share! Next week at Internet Week New York on June 7, Kaboodle is putting on the first ever crowd-sourced fashion show in partnership with Bloomingdales called the Fab @ Five Fête & Fashion Show. The looks have been selected based on a styleboard contest a few weeks back AND the “models” are all media and bloggers including yours truly! I am beyond honored to be among the group, which I’ll share more about in an upcoming post.

As a side note, I’m totally terrified. I already have a repuation for falling down…a lot…so the thought of a runway in heels sounds like the perfect storm to showcase my clumbsiness in front of a live audience. That said, if I do fall, at least I’ll do it in superior style thanks to Kaboodle and Bloomies!

In case you haven’t played on Kaboodle.com before, here’s a little background: the Hearst owned social shopping site is the largest on the web with more than 1.5 million users and aims to make online shopping easier and more fun. This event is to celebrate the five year anniversary and unveil a brand new redesign of the site.

I have my fitting this week and between now and the show, you know I’ll be practicing my stiletto strut around my apartment.

Finally, if you’re in NYC and want to check it out, the details are here. If you’re not, you can follow via the Twitter hashtag #Kaboodle5 (the event is Tuesday, June 7 from 6-8pm EDT). You can also follow the action and get updates from @Kaboodle and @Bloomingdales.

PS If you have any advice for easing nerves (that might help reduce my chances of tripping), I’m listening!

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a bit of a prankster. I like to flex my harmless, but mischievously creative muscles from time to time and April Fool’s Day is the perfect opportunity to do so where you don’t have to ask for forgiveness.

So…today I changed my Facebook profile to say my birthday (which is actually July 3) is today, April 1. Motives were pure. I work in digital marketing, which is something I’m very passionate about, and I wanted to think of a silly April Fool’s joke that I could also learn from for “work.” Research, you know? The results after about an hour of changing the date are after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

In case saying and typing ”winning” aren’t enough, Complex has developed an interactive soundboard that lets you tap into Charlie Sheen’s deepest thoughts about “winning.” Enjoy…(thanks Michelle Gordon!)

My geeky background in gagdet obsessions often leads to exciting opportunities to work with technology brands. I also USED to work in consumer tech PR, which has helped feed said obsessions. As I’ve noted time and time again, I’m not an expert, just an enthusiast. With that…today has been awesome! I just dropped by a little meetup for the official launch of Windows Phone 7 availablility and they sent me home with a T-Mobile HTC HD7 to test out including a Zune Pass, a month of mobile service from T-Mobile and a gift card to purchase Windows Phone 7 apps! Here’s a first look…isn’t it pretty!? It even comes with a little kick stand!

More to come in an experiential review…Tonight, courtesy of Windows Phone 7, I’m going to check out a concert by Katy Perry in NYC. They are also doing one in San Francisco with Maroon 5. They have a bunch of cool things going on for the campaign and are also working with Minka Kelly and Rob Dyrdek on a “Really Rally Road Trip.” Check out the videos after the jump!

Nautica is launching an Ocean to Ocean that features and celebrates coastal living with real people doing extraordinary things in their coastal communities.  The campaign will highlight the people and places that bring to life an everyday passion and deep connection to the water – sailors, kiteboard champions, marine biologists, families, local hidden spots, community events, etc.

 The first town to kick off the campaign is Bainbridge, WA (just outside of Seattle – shout out to my homeland)! Check out this video featuring fellow Seattleites, the Seely brothers, talking about why they Read the rest of this entry »
