I think it is fair to say that we are all familiar with the social networking craze. From facebook to twitter, there are countless ways to stay connected and in the loop. Personally, I love it. I love keeping myself up to date with the latest and greatest going on in my friends’ lives. Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to hear about an awesome site dedicated to networking in the fashion world!

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love when designers take time out of their schedules to get to know their clients. I consider handbag enthusiasts clients, don’t you? Today, Tuesday April 14th, the lovely Monica Botkier will be conducting an online chat over at Luna Boston and will be answering questions from 6-8 pm EST. Head over to Luna Boston, check out the fabulous merchandise they offer and see what information you can find out from Monica.

So, it’s Monday, after a holiday weekend. I know many people made their weekend a long one, and could possibly be dragging their feet today. Well, the good news is we have an amazing opportunity to share with you, a bit of a Monday pick-me-up if you will. A little while back, Megs and Vlad had the chance to interview Kooba’s Creative Director, Abbe Held.

Vlad and I have been on the Facebook train since its inception, it being the social media network that begun while we were still in school. It was the “underground secret” when we started. Not so underground anymore. Anyhow, make sure to join us on Facebook and follow us.
