Lily Allen, a singer, is ditching music to go into the fashion industry. I haven't heard much of her music but according to Vogue's Twitter account, she is very popular in Britain where she is from. She is having her last music gig on March 7th and she will be done after that. She is opening a store with her sister because she says fashion is a new adventure for her. She also says music and fashion cannot exist without each other. Vogue is great with doing entries on mostly fashion but they also report on music and other things going on in the world.
I really like that we had to put Google Analytics on our blog because it's really neat being able to keep track of how many viewers you have. Although it was complicated at first I finally got mine to work and saw that I already had some visitors. In class I really liked seeing how all the different companies have their own contests. Going onto the Dunkin Donuts one was really cool but made me crave donuts haha. The Bing contests were interesting too. It's so funny to me that people take the time to actually make those videos. I definitely wouldn't have voted for the guy who won though. Also, off the contest topic but the Biggest Freak Out Ever was absolutely hilarious!! I have never seen it before and I can't wait to show my family and friends how funny it is haha. I was reading some things on the internet about it though and people are saying it's fake. My favorite one though was the one where the brother is taping his brother freak out from upstairs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMTnOZI6mj0
Here's a link I found through Vogue that shows what's in for this spring! It's all quite pricey but it's exciting to see how trends change so quickly through out the seasons. Everything that's in is so coloful and full of flower prints. http://www.style.com/trendsshopping/shoppingguide/011910_Spring_Shopping_Guide/
I am very disappointed right now because as I am going through Twitter I'm not seeing much at all from the magazine I'm following! I switched from Fashion to Vogue because at first Fashion was rarely tweeting and now Fashion is filling up the whole page of tweets! I've been through a few pages so far and I have only seen about 3 tweets from Vogue so that's too bad. I guess each company goes through phases. Maybe once a few more things happen with Vogue they'll start having as many tweets as Fashion magazine does right now..I sure hope so! I hope I didn't switch to the wrong magazine :(
I really enjoyed the in-class exercise we did two weeks ago where we got a company and had to decided what they should use their blog for. This exercise really helped me to see how helpful blogs really are for companies. My group had a pharmacy so we all decided that it would be a blog geared toward the community and it would post a lot of coupons for some of the products we sold. It would also announce new items we would be selling in the store as well. We all had different ideas and it helped me to see how we would all make very different blogs if we had to be in charge of one and it helped me to realize how many different things there really are that can be put into a blog. It was a really fun exercise.
I am really enjoying following Vogue on Twitter and updating pictures and music on my blog. I love personalizing the blog especially. Vogue is really fun to follow though because they are constantly tweeting something. Especially since it's Fashion Week now, they are posting a lot of runway outfits from top designers. This is great for people like me to follow since I can't go to fashion week I can just get on Twitter and check out all the new clothing lines. Here are some pictures from the BCBG runway show. http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/S2009RTW-BCBG
