WWOTB Makes Business Networking Fun

In Events, Trends, Updates on September 21, 2011 at 11:09 am

Like thousands of women throughout the Greater Tampa Bay area, I look forward to receiving invitations and emails to see what fun event is planned next with Working Women of Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay Fashion Week is all about fun, too, which makes Working Women of Tampa Bay a great sponsor and fit for our event!

Networking comes naturally to me – as I know it does to many women. I love sharing tips and tricks for everything from fitness to cosmetics to fun events to fashion with my long-time girlfriends and the new ones I meet daily. I know the events hosted by Working Women of Tampa Bay are sure to be fun times connecting with friends while meeting at that month’s locale – and I know I always go home with names and numbers of new friends as well as an exciting goody bag.

When I attend a WWOTB monthly mixer, I am always certain I will enjoy a great night out and make connections that, in addition, to being personal connections have also many times turned into great business relationships. I personally love doing business with people I know, like and trust, and thanks to WWOTB, I have added many new girlfriends to that group.

Fashion Week Tampa Bay and Working Women of Tampa Bay sounds like the perfect partnership to me – a fun, fabulous event with a fun, fabulous sponsor. I’m looking forward to seeing WWOTB at this year’s event along with many of my WWOTB friends.

Such a Mahh-velous Designer: Rhonda Shear

In Designers, Events, Fashion, Trends on September 20, 2011 at 6:06 pm

When I learned that Rhonda Shear was going to be returning to Fashion Week Tampa Bay runways this year, I just had to visit her website and check out the latest designs.  Like most of us, I am very familiar with what Rhonda shows on HSN, and I do love those products. But I had no idea the extent of her line until I saw her site this week. And I am so glad I checked it out.

Of course, undergarments can be functional (and need to be), but the best scenario is when they are functional, comfortable and beautiful – and that describes Rhonda’s line perfectly.  “Help me, Rhonda” is exactly her calling, and with her beautiful designs, she has done just that for all ages and sizes of women.

I know I like to feel beautiful starting with what I wear under my clothes, and the way to look and feel your best is when you know that everything stays put with no unsightly lines, no unwanted bumps, no tugging and pulling.  Fashion at its best from the inside out!

So I say thank you, Rhonda, for making me and my fashion world a prettier, more comfortable place. Check out Rhonda on the runways this Friday, Sept. 23 at Innisbrook Golf & Spa Resort for Tampa Bay Fashion Week! See you there!

Proper Training…Always in Fashion: Art Institute of Tampa

In Designers, Events, Fashion, Trends, Updates on September 19, 2011 at 1:10 pm

Fashion Week Tampa Bay and The Art Institute of Tampa – a perfect pairing in my mind, that’s for sure and we’re thrilled to have Art Institute as a Tampa Bay Fashion Club sponsor for the fourth year in a row.

The Art Institute of Tampa is an incredible school offering varying degrees from a top-notch faculty.  Maybe you are interested in the Culinary Arts – they have the training, maybe something in Web Design & Development, beginning and advanced – they have the training, or maybe your “Fashionista” desires lean towards Fashion Retailing and Management – once again, they offer the training.

As a former boutique owner, I speak from experience when I say that the Fashion Retailing and Management training you can get at The Art Institute will definitely give you a head start in the Fashion industry.

You owe it to yourself to check it out.  Looking forward to your feedback and to seeing you at Fashion Week Tampa Bay.

Sponsor Shout-Out

In Events, Fashion on September 19, 2011 at 4:23 am

Shout-out to some of our Tampa Bay Fashion Week 2011 sponsors:

Fashion Team LA

Two fab gals are better than one! And Fashion Team LA proves it! Fashion Team LA is a collaboration of wardrobe stylist/image consultant, Laura Hunt and professional photographer, Anne Phillips. Together they have created a fashion styling and photography dynamic duo experience where “L” brings the style and “A” brings the camera to the photo sessions. They’re a match made in fashion heaven! Learn more about the fashion dynamic duo here.

VERTICAL Tampa Bay

We love ourselves a magazine all about life and style! Yeah, there are fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle and Marie Claire… but they don’t have what VERTICAL Tampa Bay magazine has – the unique Tampa Bay area. VERTICAL Tampa Bay Magazine is a virtual magazine that celebrates Tampa Bay fashion, flavor, travel, culture and beauty in every issue. Since Leslie Joy Ickowitz started the magazine in 2009, they’ve had high readership and involvement in the community. We love their stories and beautiful photography. They’ve even featured some of the TBFW designers, like Kimberly Hendrix (the picture above is Kimberly’s work on a previous cover)! Enjoy their latest (and 2nd anniversary) issue here.

Yelp

 

Yelp was founded in 2004 to help people find great local businesses like dentists, hair stylists and mechanics. How it works is businesses setup a free account to post photos, promotions and message customers. Then customers write reviews about the business on their Yelp page. In addition to reviews, you can use Yelp to find events (like Fashion Week Tampa Bay), lists and to talk with other Yelpers. They automatically filter reviews submitted to avoid displaying any suspicious ones. Users can count on Yelp! Download their mobile app and go to their website to start yelping!

We’re so glad to have Fashion Team LA, VERTICAL Tampa Bay and Yelp onboard. They are helping us greatly with making this year’s Fashion Week Tampa Bay the best one yet! We appreciate all of their support. They truly care about providing all lovers of creativity a week of positive, high-fashion and artistic energy. Not only is this a “Sponsor Shout-Out” – it’s a big thank you!

Join in on all the fashion fun on Sept. 20! Fashion Week Tampa Bay will be Sept. 20 – 24, 2011 and tickets are still available – Get them while they last on our website!
