Swedish Hasbeens for H&M Review

I know I'm a little late on the Swedish Hasbeens for H&M review, but that's partly due to the fact that they were not distributed very widely. In fact, they were only available in 3 California stores: Powell St. in San Francisco, Beverly Center, and South Coast Plaza. After recruiting (bribing, really) a kind and willing family member to pick up two pairs for me per my instructions from the

Jeffrey Campbell Gets Groovie

These are the Jeffrey Campbell Groovie platforms that I managed to snag before they sold out at Lulus. (They were previously known as the Salvatore, after the original 1930s version by Salvatore Ferragamo that inspired them.) Although I've only had them for a day, I'm imagining the multiple ways I'll style them: with a white A-line mini dress and denim vest, with a black skater dress and floppy

The panel, which was moderated by Macala Wright, included Staci Riordan and Uduak Oduok, who are both brilliant, specialize in fashion law, and are avid bloggers. Here are some of the tips that I found most helpful: You gain copyright protection the minute you write something, but you have

RetailCamp Wisdom for Bloggers - Part 1

On Sunday I attended the RetailCamp blogger conference with my blogging pal Sarah at Woodbury University in Burbank. It's hard to believe that in the four years since I started Fashion Trend Guide, this is the first blogging conference that I've attended. (Note to self - attend more seminars and conferences!) Overall, it was a motivational and helpful event with plenty of words of wisdom,
