Well, I did make it to BlogWorld Expo after all, which explains my lack of posts. Yes, you're probably wondering how I could have gone to BlogWorld and not blogged while I was there, but I was there for human connections and not virtual ones - which is something I would like to do with the fashion blog community in the near future.
Coutorture is talking about a party in New York in December, but I think it would be better to have a party during New York Fashion Week. What do you think?
I didn't meet any fashion bloggers at the expo, however, I did get to attend a Zappos party. Man, can those guys throw a nice get-together. The party was held in a little ole' bar with this huge wooden(?) door that masked a surprisingly cool hip joint near the Fremont District of downtown Las Vagas.
I got to know John Hong, a web content writer of Zappos, one of the smiliest, nicest guys you'll ever meet. A little weird, but apparently that's what Zappos likes - people who are a little weird. If you ever want to know how an online fashion website should operate, I highly recommend modeling the Zappos business culture. John has promised a tour of their headquarters next year, so I'm looking forward to that.
Here's John with one of my favorite bloggers, Liz Strauss...
And speaking of Zappos, here's a pair of interesting Donald J. Pliner boots that I came across during my search for winter boots. Perhaps it's the hippie in me who is diggin' these...
Hi Maria!
It was so fun to meet you! A surprise of the very best kind!
