Twitter Chats are important too!

I recently participated in a twitter chat by New York Women in Communications. Topics about life, career and success. This particular chat on November 15th was focused on networking before graduating from college. It was very informational and I learned so much.

* One advice was forming a relationship with professors while in school.

* Create a resume of your college experiences. If you write for the school newspaper, create a

portfolio of your work. You can do this on websites such as doyoubuzz.com

*If there is a program you think your department or the school should have implemented; take the initiative in doing so.

*Very important also: At the end of every semester send a thank you note to your professor, don't just send an email. An actual note will show that you are professional and an effective communicator.

There a lot more tips: to view the transcript of the chat go here: http://twapperkeeper.com/hashtag/nywicichat?sm=11&sd=15&sy=2011&shh=07&smm=00&em=11&ed=17&ey=2011&ehh=00&emm=00&o=d&l=1000&from_user=&text=&lang=

There were also tips for the upcoming student career conference. It will be a day of networking and fun, can't wait! To check it out go here: http://www.nywici.org/events/student-career-conference

Let's talk Katie Perry. We know she is very creative with her outfits. We have witnessed that during her many performances.

In the above photo Katie sports diamond studded nails at the MTV Europe music awards. To be honest it is not something I would wear but I love the look.This look is very much for parties and is definitely for the fashionistas who love unique designs Read more...

Go to school! Supermodels do it too

If you thought being a supermodel, or a rapper or musician would require no school, Think again. Supermodel and talk show host Tyra Banks recently enrolled at Harvard Business School. You wouldn't want to run a business and not know how to handle customers or the best techniques to keep your business thriving correct? This is why having an education is important According to Brownsista.com and other sites the supermodel quoted that 'in order to run a successful business and reach the women that look up to her, she needed the best'. Not to say that smaller, less famous schools aren't good enough to attend. Remember it is all up to you.In life we must look around and learn. I have seen many moms who at a young age give up school and as they got older their desire was to enroll or re-enroll to gain a degree, to say 'I have something in life'. We all want that. So if you're reading this post, be an advocate for education- and not just an education, a profound one. . Show the younger ones that it is important to have 'that piece of paper' that says I've graduated from this institution; I've achieved something that I can use to better myself. After that they can't tell you nothing! :)

New Name: Style 'n' Inspire

As Editor-in-Chief of this blog. It is with great pride that I make this announcement. This blog will no longer go by the name Ladycraze. I have done a lot of thinking and finally came up with something new. I will join my two loves: Style and advice for young women and men too! Join me on this venture to showcase some unique style and add some advice; we can all do with some advice sometimes right? If you're liking this please let me know and if you're not I am open to knowing why. I will begin this new path with my photo above. While I am not too big on fashion, I love style. Above I am wearing a jeans shirt(H&m), Black peep toe booties, purse with feathered design (Charlotte Rouse), black skirt( Forever21)and tiger design top from some store in Soho. I love this outfit because it looks clubish and loungish and shows off my short wonderful legs. There are certain areas on a girl's body she might not like. But there is always that one feature you love most. It can your eyes, your lips or your legs( in my case). Whatever it is, embrace the beauty in that feature and you will see a difference in your thinking about yourself. However while you're trying to embrace that feature, be sure to embrace your whole self!
Enjoy all.

The Circle Scarf craze :)

Yes.That's me in the photo above.

The yellow scarf in the photo I purchased in Soho. It is a great accessory to keep in your wardrobe. It fits nice and snug around your neck and goes well with any piece of clothing. The material is very thick and will keep very warm during the cold weather months..

The circle scarf can be found practically anywhere, on the streets of manahttan, in the popular stores or online. They come in all styles and sizes. Below I will leave a link so you can check out the other styles on modcloth.com.

I fell in love with the mustard. I could not leave the scarf because the mustard was very eye-catching and I love the way it goes with my brown boots and black jacket.

Purchase a circle scarf and share in the joy during this cold winter in New York :)

Here's the link to see the other styles of circle scarfs http://www.modcloth.com/storefront/products/search/keyword/circle%20scarf?fs=true

A Girl's Treat :)

Magazines (sigh).

I love my magazines. I cannot begin to tell you the excitement I feel when a new magazine is in my mailbox. There is no feeling like flipping those pages, wanting so badly to see new styles, receive the latest gossip, news on the new beauty products. It is a great experience to me.

Anyway enough of me. Girls I know we can agree when I say magazines are 'it'. In the photo above are four of my favorites. In Lucky, I get the latest trends, In Essence I connect with my sisters, in seventeen I get the down low on all the teenage pop star's love life, their style and more and in Glamour I feast on my favorite stylista's unique style, gossip and advice on Love.

If you can relate then you know how I feel.

I recently attended an event hosted by New York Women in Communications called 'Breaking into the Magazine Business' held at the Hearst corporation. The event was great. The panel consisted of big names in the magazine business such as Ann Shoket, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen Magazine, Associate Publisher: Nicole Mills of Cosmopolitan Magazine, Ellen Payne : Director of Editorial Operations of Hearst Magazines and more. The panel shared with us the best, real-life advice we could use as students and young professionals for getting into the magazine business. They also shared some very important skills which we would need to sharpen in the first or second job such as handwriting thank you notes, be quick to figure out how things worked in the workplace, show interest in all areas and be willing to take on any task and many more.

As students and young professionals in Communications it wise to take advantage of opportunities such as this one. New York women in Communications offers some very unique and helpful events. You should at least attend one.

p/s : If you are looking for a magazine internship google ED2010 Internships, ED offers great internships in fashion, beauty and editorial.

High Ratings for 'The Game' last Tuesday

As if we didn't suspect! According to the NyTimes, the highly anticipated show 'The Game' scored big with 7.7 millions calling it the most watched sitcom on cable television. The show premiered for another new season on January 11th at 10 pm after being dropped by CW11 two years ago. Since early 2010, BET's marketing team aired previous shows so that the show could gain more viewers, which it did and had viewers begging for more. When it was announced that BET was to pick up the show after being dropped by CW11, fans were- let's say hyped, myself included.

The show debuted with the same cast but different nevertheless, after all it has been 2 years. I witnessed millions of my facebook friends, updating their statuses, spreading the word about the drama-filled show. Those who watched it for the first time, last tuesday were nudged on by facebook statuses and tweets by others. The producers and President, Debra Lee Cock, must be happy about this. I am excited to see what this new season will.

If you haven't watched the show, check it out this tuesday, every tuesday at 10pm and catch up with past episodes on youtube or BET.com.

Get Ready for the 'it' girl's new Fragrance : REB'L FLEUR

Let's talk about Rihanna, this time in a more sweet-scented way. The Barbados-born singer will join the long list of celebrity fragrances this coming Spring. The tabloids are blowing up her now exposed ad, so I'm sure some may have heard about the fragrance before.
The name of this new fragrance is called 'Reb'l Fleur', translated as 'Rebel Flower'. According to rihannadaily.com, the fragrance is set to hit department stores such as Macy's around January 26th. Refinery29 and others talk about where she got the name Reb'l Fleur; according to refinery29 this was a childhood nickname given to her by her grandmother. The fragrance is said to be a melange of Hawaiian hibiscus flower, violet, tuberose, coconut water, vanilla, patchouli, amber and musk. Ladies you might want to give it a try, sounds like it'll smell awesome and it's expected to leave a 'sexy memory'. Support her will you?
Reb'l Fleur- $49 retail price. Read more...

Shoe Fetish much!

Ladies:

I had to post this just for you. It's boots season and I've been walking all around Manhattan to find the best pair. I checked Spring, Steve Madden, Aldo, David Z, practically all of Soho, but I have small feet so I had a tough time. They usually have small shoe sizes online. Anyhow I was in Herald Square and I thought 'Macy's', I didn't check Macy's. So I strolled up to the 8th floor in hopes of finding the BEST pair of boots. Well so much for that, I was greeted with prices that weren't near to what I wanted to spend. $300, $200 and more. I kept walking and walking and lo' and behold I found the pair of riding boots you see at the top of this post. I swear I heard the 'hallelujah' chorus and saw light shining straight to the shoes from over head. It was a size 5 (my size) and It was on sale. How is that!

I was in love. The moral:: keep looking for what you want, do not and I repeat do not choose the first thing that screams ' take me' to you; keep on looking. Don't you give up, it is always closer than you anticipate. They're beautiful boots!
