NYFW and Fashion Bloggers

I love the fact that the fashion industry has embraced fashion bloggers as accredited press. In images above Tavi Gevinson is photographed with Anna Wintour during Fashion's Night Out and the other image shows Bryan Boy during NYFW Spring 2011 at the Lincoln Center. I miss attending LA Fashion Week as a blogger but now that I'm in a new location, I know that it's only a matter of time before I attend fashion week again, Cheers to fashion bloggers around the world - We Rock!, V.

Which Smartphone should I get?

Nokia 6030: My current cell phone.

Now that I've been living in Florida for just over a year, I have decided to get new cell phone. As a fashion blogger, I know that I'd like to get a smartphone but I'm currently not sure on which one to buy. A few months ago, Jennine Tamm, Independent Fashion Bloggers, posted this really interesting article regarding which smartphones will work to create mobile web friendly articles for readers to read via their smartphones. And then there was also an article about "best blogging phones" on IFB. I'll read the articles again as I source the subject. Let me know your take on the matter as it relates to which smartphone you recommend for blogging. Thanks, V.

SINGLE: try, test and review their designs!

The world of fashion blogging has evolved so much from the years when I first started to blog in 2007. One of the major changes is the disclosure law regarding gifts we receive as bloggers which is so different from my time  when I worked for magazines.
.
With magazines there was no paper trail on what we reviewed and  received as critics, but being as it may, I am excited to try my hand at reviewing the designs from Single which I received last week.
.
When I opened the box from Single I only expected one design to review but as a bonus Celebrity Designer, Galina Sobolev, suprised me and send me added two designs. I'm looking forward to this assignment as I keep in mind what other bloggers like Fashiontoast;   Sea of Shoes;  The Coveted and Bryanboy are doing as it relates to style review posts. I'll do the three seperate reviews on the Single designs in photo above soon. For more on Single: http://www.singledress.com/ or follow Galina's blog on http://galinasobolev.blogspot.com/  Photos: (L) Single (R) VVS

Thanks again, Galina and the Single team!

IFB - why the site works!

IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) is a website that I put alongside Mediabistro; Mashable; Google and Fashionably Marketing when it comes to staying current as a Blogger. Founded and created by Jennine Tamm, IFB, is a website that publishes informative reviews for today's fashion blogger. A true find! x's Jennine.
