Highlights from San Francisco Thread Show, November 20, 2011

Posted on Nov 25, 2011 in iWanna, Muses | 4 comments

After a year of wanting-but-failing to go to San Francisco Thread Show at Metreon, Downtown SF, finally I found one Sunday where my time was open. It’s quite a coincidence because a good friend of mine was reminding me about it about a week before and wanting to know whether I’d accompany her into this shopping event :) But thanks to her, I finally got to experience this one of the most well-organized, professionally done, and great shopping experiences that San Francisco has to offer. Local and emerging designers, craftsmen, hair and makeup stylists, food vendors, DJ, an others gathered in the 4th floor of Metreon Shopping Center to show what they got and helped shoppers to find what they need.

Daily Beast – Culture in 2011

Posted on Jan 6, 2011 in iWanna | 0 comments

Right off the bat, Daily Beast has made me so excited about what’s to come in 2011 (it’s almost a week already!!!). Except for Justin Bieber, of course. Or Britney.

I am especially excited to see what Lady Gaga will bring in her “Born This Way” album, as well as the new fashion trends in 2011. We’ll see how people interpret the trends in their personal style. Haruki Murakami’s “IQ84″ is also interesting, I’ll have to get a copy. Ah, so excited. Anything that gets you excited in viewing the Daily Beast gallery?

Fashion Mash-Up: Why Blog about Fashion

Posted on Nov 17, 2010 in Thoughts | 0 comments

I haven’t been able to come to this Fashion Mash-Up (one more reason why I want to live in the city), but I feel very inclined to spread the word, especially since the discussion will be about fashion blogging :)

SFFAMA, along with Fashion Blogger Connect, is going to hold another “Fashion Mash-Up: Fashion & Tech Workshop Series” event tomorrow night, Nov. 18, 2010, on 5:30-8:30pm at Pigment Cosmetics, One Market Street (Studio 2), San Francisco.
Admission is $5 for SFFAMA Ning members or $10 for Non-Members.

The speakers for tomorrow night’s event are:
1- Avalonne Summers – The Girl From Ldn, HK & SF
2 – Christina Topacio – Pro Fresh Style
3 – Maggie Alhadeff – Mimosas in Bed
4 – Mira Torres – The Beauty Bohemian
5 – Nicole Lindgren – Style Bust
6 – Ranier Falco – The Falco
7 – Siv Lam – Jcrewaholics

These awesome bloggers will touch topic points such as:
1. How did you start as a fashion blogger? What was the idea behind your blog?
2. Why is fashion a worth while subject to blog (write) about?
3. How do you engage with your readers or followers? What tools of communications work? How do you maintain an ongoing discussion?
4. Is there a current or a possible revenue stream being utilized? Ie:
Affiliate Marketing, Link Exchange, Banner Advertisement? Does it work?
5. What other social media tools do you use often to promote your
blog? ie: Twitter, Facebook, Four Square. Can you tell us, what works
and what doesn’t?
6. What do you think of mobile technology? Is this tool being utilized with your blogging?
7. How do you differentiate your blog from other fashion blogs?

If you want to be there (on my behalf), you can RSVP at http://www.facebook.com/events/create.php?eid=113522138711135 and check out the event site at http://fashiontwitup.onsugar.com/

Go fashion bloggers go,
