I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Cosmopolitan magazine's first-ever Fun Fearless Life weekend in NYC, which was jam-packed with inspirational speakers who got everyone excited and pumped to get their own lives started. Taking place at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, the event brought young women from around the world together to network, collaborate and get to know each other!

FASHION | DKNY Spring 2014

Photo via Facebook
I am in love with DKNY's spring 2014 campaign. Not only does it feature a few of my faves (hello A$AP and Cara Delevigne), but it's just so badass. DKNY knows how to get people talking and take social media by storm. 

The campaign features rapper A$AP Rocky, skateboarder Dylan Rieder, and models Cara Delevigne, Jourdan Dunn and Eliza Cummings. Talk about an all star line-up.

So You Think You Can Start Up? | SMW NYC


The digital startup world has been booming with new and innovative businesses and I've been lucky enough to see into that world by previously working at the Ryerson Digital Media Zone, a startup incubator in Toronto. But I've become especially interested in startups that bring together fashion and technology.

On Tuesday, February 19th, Hearst Magazines hosted a fashion startup competition 'So You Think You Can Start Up?' for budding fashion tech entrepreneurs to share their pitches to the SMW audience. The winner would receive a editorial coverage on ELLE.com.

The judges:
 L-R: Drake Martinet - Social Editor, NowThis News;
Aliza Licht - Senior Vice President, Global Communications, Donna Karan;
Amina Akhtar, Executive Editor, ELLE.com

The contestants:

StyleUp


Julie Mahloch, Founder & CEO
Bloom


Phil Bjerknes, CTO, Co-Founder
PlayAPI


Jennifer Yassen, Head of US Partnerships
Shopcade


After much deliberation and votes from the audience, the winner was chosen...


Congrats to Bloom!


More SMW NYC coverage coming up!
