Some of you may already know this, but I’ve been spending time with the beautiful people behind Urban Signals (hearts for CEO Aubree Nichols) as they make their mark in the location-best social networking world. Urban Signals is a mobile application, currently available for the iPhone (others coming soon), that allows you to see users that are around you, if they are available and the option to connect with them right then and there.

One of my new blogger bff’s, Amy Chandra of Midtown Girl, knows all about Urban Signals (read her post here) and on Valentine’s Day she was featured on ABC World News demoing the application! WOW - I’m so Read the rest of this entry »

Last Thursday I attended a breakfast at Vivienne Tam’s store in Soho where I got to see the unveiling of her special edition Butterfly in-ear speakers by Monster Cable.  Aside from the fact that Vivienne is expanding her fashionable tech empire, it’s really exciting to see a new category of gadget catering to a style craving female audience.

The Butterfly headphones will be available this April for approximately $199. I know, as someone who has never spent more than $20 on ear buds, it might be a little tough to swallow at first. Here’s the thing - Read the rest of this entry »

Over the past year, fashion brands have begun to embrace and excel in social media, meanwhile other social media leaders have captured the attention of fashion bloggers. To recognize the top contenders, Yuli Ziv and the Style Coalition hosted the first annual Fashion 2.0 Social Media Awards and the ceremony was held at the beginning of New York Fashion Week. When I was asked to be a presenter for “Next Big Thing,” I was honored to be a part of the special evening.

I had the pleasure of going back stage to say a quick hello to Vivienne before her fall 2010 presentation this past Saturday. I’ve been a fan of her’s for a long time, but this was actually the first time we met…she’s even more sweet and humble than I imagined.

The first thing that came to my mind was romantic origami. Coincidentally, it was the night before Valentine’s Day. LOVE! See for yourself! Read the rest of this entry »
