Being A Twitter Fashionista

- Jaime P.

You’ve heard about Twitter. Maybe you even tried it once or twice, but you just didn’t see why you should use it; after all, it’s just for tech people and “online marketers,” right?

Friends working at cafe

Honey, you’ve got it all wrong. There is a fabulous, fun and fashionable side to Twitter… and you’re missing out on so much by ignoring it! Here are the top three reasons you need to be on Twitter NOW if you consider yourself a true Fashionista:

  1. There’s a whole world of fashion awaiting you. As someone who is on Twitter daily but can barely figure out how to program my DVR, I was a little intimidated when I first started using Twitter. But it’s a pretty steep learning curve, and eventually you just can’t live without it.
  2. Not only will you learn… you could win free stuff! I couldn’t begin to list off the different brands who give away products, freebies and so much more on Twitter. Plus, it’s an easy way to follow your favorite bloggers and learn about the latest and greatest deals.
  3. You can talk to your fashion heroes… and your favorite brands. Everyone knows that Ashton Kutcher is on Twitter… but did you know Betsey Johnson is? How about Charlotte Ronson or Rachel Zoe? They’re Twitter users, along with some of your favorite fashion bloggers, brands, shopping sites and more!

So, get over there, set up your account and think of something fun to share. Oh, and the two most important people to follow? Me and LP, of course!

St. Patricks Day 2010 – Get Charmed!
- Tracy I.

You don’t have to be Irish to see green on St. Patrick’s Day! Whether it’s off to church, a parade, or a big family dinner (or hopefully all three!), this is a day when the ‘wearing o’ the green’ goes global!

Most people will be out all day and well into the evening.  This will require versatile, comfortable yet trendy styles that will take them from day to evening effortlessly.

While it’s incredibly easy to get caught up in sporting head-to-toe green, I would highly advise against it. Do it the right way by playing up the green with your accessories. This allows you to incorporate wardrobe staples that you carry forward from season-to-season and still enjoy everyone’s favorite day to play into a popular trend. This doesn’t mean I don’t want you to have fun with it, you certainly should.  I know I will!

Try a green handbag, I suggest Linea Pelle’s Dylan Disco Clutch.  It keeps you hands free.  It’s not too big, yet it’s roomy enough for your essentials and most importantly this is just the right touch of green.  Oh, and don’t forget the sumptuous green leather!

And don’t forget to accessorize your bag.  Add a themed charm to your bag that you can use as a unique zipper pull! Try this 14k Yellow Gold Claddagh and Shamrock Charm, $53.99 available at Overstock.com – This charm is the perfect compliment to the Gold Toned Hardware on the clutch!
