reLYME

When the darling, Yuli Ziv of MyItThings and Inside The Tents fame asked me to participate in a video project for Style Coalition last month, I was more than flattered. I would get to spend an evening with many of my friends and fellow fashion bloggers to film a video in support of the fashion industry.

Unfortunately, I was unable to participate as I was stuck on a layover flight at the time. However, I'm oh-so-pleased to share the Don't Shop video (inspired by the Don't Vote campaign) with you now. A perfect example of reverse psychology at its finest!:

Many of these darling beauties have become very near and dear to me during my short-lived life in New York City:

So, please join me in spreading the word about this video and please don't shop! (Again, I really want you to!)

On Tuesday, I was lucky enough to be invited to a fabulous party for the new T-Mobile Sidekick LX at the Sidekick Social Club. (Just FYI - The new Sidekick looks amazing! It even has built in social networking!)

Aside from the great atmosphere and delicious spread, one of the highlights was chatting it up with some of my favorite fashion bloggers: Wendy of Nitro:licious, Dina of Eye4Style, Sarah of StyleIT, Jordana of Clutch 22, Caroline of The Daily Obsession, and Julia of Fashion Pulse Daily.

Check out this video that Wendy posted on Nitro:licious, featuring yours truly, among many others! -
