Recap: Rising Star, Lookbook Photo, Small (& Big) Biz

January 30, 2012 by WendyB

I know lot of people aren’t online on the weekends. So, now that you’re all back at work and looking to be unproductive, I figured I’d do a recap of my weekend posts.

  • If you followed my tweets about my lookbook shoot last Wednesday, you can’t miss the first of photographer Shane LaVancher’s stunning pictures of model Tina J and my jewelry.
  • I posted more photos related to Fashion Group International’s Rising Star Awards.
  • I added links to Rising Star news coverage at the bottom of this post.
  • Rising Star accessories finalist Michelle Vale featured my Empress Wu dragon earrings on her blog. You can check out her handbag line here.
  • Chic.tv interviewed all the Rising Star finalists. In the video below, Stacy Lomman comes at 42 seconds and I’m at 6:19.

Also, following up on my Huffington Post story about the agony and ecstasy of being a small business owner, I gave a business tip to byAimee.com.

Incidentally, after I wrote the Huffington Post piece but before it was published, the New York Times ran a great story about why Apple manufactures overseas. It’s not just about labor costs for a ginormous company like Apple; it’s about access to suppliers and manufacturing capacity as well.

    I find the whole Foxconn story sinister and chilling. Good to hear you being interviewed and seeing you flashing the goods! Must have been a really exciting night.

    Loved your deep crimson satiny nail polish in the ring close-up – it pleases my inner magpie!
