Summer Medley of Events and News

Summer Fashion Events

Summer is here full of events for fashionistas and consumers to attend. As I see it, the more replete, the better for all of us who keep up and write about what is happening in our cities.

For the summer, I will try to list a sampling of events as I become aware of them. As a rule, please do use contact information as provided. This is simply to ascertain whether the event is still going to be held. Due to various factors that pertain to major cities, including weather, and other goings - on, we have to be on top of that constantly.

Most events are also on websites, and more details are updated there as the time arrives.

Mostly, I will try to cover Chicago events and some in New York on this page. If it merits your attending, I will seriously consider posting international events as well. If you don't want to wait, however, go to infomat.com or other event locators for events. DailyCandy.com is another one to peruse, if you want spectacular events, sales, and the like.


Social Media:

Facebook and other like sites may also post valuable information for you. For example, Russell James, an amazing photographer, sent us news regarding his fashion shoot just yesterday. I believe Will Byington's page is also another worthy one to follow and simply read as it is chock full of Chicago Scene news.

If you want the news the come to you instead of you following the news, sign up for newsletters and other information from the sites that interest you. I also recommend
the summer news/events sections of various local newspapers. You might also want to go out and have a little fun while going out there and snapping candids..lol. I have a predilection for newsletters, but I think the pages and sites for major magazines also provide good information about what events are about to come to your city and elsewhere.

Not to gloat, but we bloggers as a rule, exhibit a strong penchant for what is going on as well. So, if you are not following another fashionista's blog or a fashion blog, what is stopping you? Male or female, bloggers are phenomenal right now. Their news is timely, catchy, and provides first - hand information about the particular city, consumers there, and a general sense of what is happening in your local city or around the world.

Certain bloggers I follow also follow the world. I have mentioned them before on my blogs. Not all focus on fashion, but you can most always find a fashion-tie-in there. Russell James' Facebook page for example concerns the elements of photo-
graphy, but his fashion shoots definitely appeal to a wide variety of readers. The Victoria Secret Shoot was interesting to read, and I already received e-news on the particular clothing (great colors) being featured in my inbox yesterday.
