We're very excited to announce that we will be part of the Evolving Influence conference on September 9th in New York City. If you haven't heard about the event yet, here's the deal:
Independent Fashion Bloggers - a network of roughly 10,000 bloggers led by Jennine from The Coveted - is kicking off Fashion Week with a star-studded event centered on bloggers' growing influence on the fashion industry. As bloggers continue to capsize the old, stodgy ways of fashion, we found it only appropriate we combine our revolutionary forces.

(Side note: If you haven't seen Jennine's write-up on our made-to-order shoes and handbags yet, check it out here.)
There will be some big names on hand, to be sure: Gala Darling, The Cut, Cupcakes & Cashmere, FashionToast, BryanBoy, Style Bubble, LOOKBOOK.nu, and BlogLovin'.
"[They will] share in-depth information about how their blogs catapulted them to new career heights. Whether you want to become a major player, monetize your blog or just get inspired, IFB has the resources you need." (IFB)
To celebrate the event (and our recent launch), we are throwing the 1 Day 100 Winners Giveaway. Fifty winners selected from those in attendance will receive a free pair of shoes or handbag; fifty winners selected from those following along online (whether livestream, liveblog or Twitter) will receive a half-off pair of shoes or handbag.
How do you enter? Great question! Just follow us on Twitter and share the following tweet between now and Sept. 9th.
‘I desire it. @jeffsilverman makes it. Follow him & retweet for chance to win free custom-made shoes or handbag. #IFBcon’
That's it! Winners will be announced on Twitter throughout the event.
If you haven't registered for Evolving Influence yet, do so right now. It's well worth the price of admission.
We look forward to seeing you there!
