It has been a long time and a lot has changed. In 2013 I accpeted a job as the Leasing Manager for Westfield. I managed the San Francisco Centre and Valley Fair (in San Jose).  Over the past two years I have experienced a lot and have gained a wide range of knowledege on business development.  My current focus is on how do we emerge e-Commerce, retail and technology.

Lately I have also been focusing on helping businesses grow. My job is to research new trends and look for first to market concepts.  Currently, I feel like I should have a blog to discuss new businesses and hear your opdinion on new businesses.  Tonight I found a business card for Over the Moon-Ice Cream and Cookies. They are located in the Marnia District of San Francisco. Has anyone been? What do you think about this business concept?
Another cool company I found was Chiching. Check them out at www.chiching.com.


Best and until next time-

A New Holiday, Fashion Night Out!

http://www.vogue.com/videos/fashions-night-out-2012/

Last night I attended Fashion Night Out in San Francisco.  This is the 4th Annual Fashion Night Out and my 2nd time participating in FNO. Last year, I was a co-host with Brad Carrick, owner of SOLZ  and  Attorney for Lord Bertram, for SFFAMA at 5 Claude Lane. This year I went with my Team, Vishal Kalia and Tiffany Walker, from Raf9, www.raf9.com along with my co-worker, Michelle, from FIDM.  We visited the new pop up shop, KENCHEN, in the Westfield Mall. We attended the VIP Fashion Night Out, where we met the photographer, Mark Janks and some other employees of the Westfield Mall. After visiting the Mall we headed over to 5 Claude Lane where SFFAMA had new and upcoming designers display their designs.  Some of my favorite were KENCHEN, www.kenchen.com, RawLegends-www.rawlegends.com, Solz-www.solzshoes.com, Good Boy Friday-www.goodboyfriday.com and Monika Rose Style and Selection, www.monikaroseselection.com.  Below I have added a few pictures from last night! Hope you enjoy and hope to see you next year on September 6th, FASHION NIGHT OUT!

Last night's San Francisco International Fashion Film Festival was absolutely stunning.  I feel so honored to be a part of the San Francisco Bay Area Fashion Network. Everyone involved in the production did a fabulous job.  I feel very proud to say my friend, Nate Duncan, was the MC. Smartwater was one of the many sponsors and FIDM, Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising was also a sponsor.  Lots of students volunteered their time to help with the production of SFIFFF. Overall the production was amazing.

Recently, I became a member of SFBA FN, San Francisco Bay Area Fashion Network.  I am thrilled to a  part of this amazing group.   The next big event we are planning for is the San Francisco International Fashion Film Festival on Saturday, August 25th.  Tickets are still available.  You can find out more about this amazing event at, http://after5media.com/   Hope to see you there!
