Women 2.0 Founder Friday Networking Event At Google

Networking is one of the most valuable things you could do for yourself. You never know who you’re going to meet in life and how powerful of an asset that connection might be. It truly doesn’t matter if you’re the CEO of a company or a young professional like myself as networking can be a tremendous help to anyone. Networking is the number one reason I love going to industry events and parties. Recently I went to the Women 2.0 Founder Friday event at the Google offices in New York.

I was excited to meet so many women entrepreneurs and leaders. I found it very amusing that 90% of the people I met were in fashion! It’s like fashion people are drawn to each other in an invisible magnetic fashion force. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating but it really felt like it. Another explanation could be that most of the people in fashion were dressed to the T so that could also be the reason! At any rate I was excited to meet so many like minded women entrepreneurs. I attended the event as press but I truly envision myself running a company of my own one day and for this reason I’m attending another Women 2.0 Founder event again this coming Friday December 2nd.

Lands End Canvas Spring/Summer 2012 Preview

Recently I attended the Lands End Canvas Spring/Summer 2012 Preview. The event took place at the Highline Stages in the Meatpacking district which fit perfectly with the brand’s trendy chic vibe. As I entered the event I first noticed guests painting a large canvas on the wall. I was very tempted to paint something but opted for a quick photo instead because I was eager to see their new collection and mingle with my fellow fashion peers.

An accurate description of their Spring 2012 collection would be All-American, laid back and preppy. I was particularly smitten with their darling smock dresses and oversized floppy hat. I can definitely see myself wearing their pieces on a relaxing boat outing during the lazy days of Summer. 

A band called The Wanda’s performed and set the perfect tone for the rest of the night. I felt like a groupie as made my way towards the stage and danced to the music. Overall the event was executed brilliantly from the wall painting, hors d'oeuvres, drinks, live music and overall setup of the collection.
