Exciting news! I’ve been working with American Living, a playful designer collection at JCPenney, and the Style Coalition on a cool video campaign. A handful of other fabulous blogs, as shown in the video mash-up, are also participating including Gala Darling, The Coveted, College Fashion, Second City Style, What I Wore, Style Mom, Corporette, Style Bakery and The Budget Babe. In short, the campaign involves a series of mini-webisodes highlighting a special ”moment” from each our lives. For my moment, I chose brunch in NYC with the girls, Julia and Amy. It’s something new to my routine that I look forward to every week, which made filming super quick and easy…we even stayed for an hour after we were done filming doing the exact same thing!

There’s nothing like a new year to make you evaluate what you hope to improve in your life. So far, I’ve heard a lot about resolutions that involve self-improvement whether healthier lifestyles or putting oneself first. That said, what a great time to do a luxury giveaway! Have you heard about Yoogi’s Closet? It’s an online luxury consignment shop that offers high end pieces for up to 70% off. You can also sell quality items from your own closet too, sort of like a fancy, digitally savvy Buffalo Exchange!

Yoogi’s was founded in 2008 by Seattle couple Simon and Eugenia (aka Yoogi, pictured above) Han. It actually came about Read the rest of this entry »
