3 Reasons To Join The Cirqle

Hi lovelies,

One of my favorite experiences as a blogger is partnering with brands that share the same aesthetic, brand messaging, and brand values. That's why I joined The Cirqle. 

The Cirqle is the perfect platform that brings together influencers and brands to create meaningful and engaging campaigns that really resonates with their audiences. Thus, I wanted to share with you all my top three reasons why I enjoy being a part of The Cirqle community.

3 Reasons to Join The Cirqle:

Reason #1: Easy-to-use platform
When I sign into The Cirqle, all of the available campaigns are listed in an easy to understand format with an image from the brand, the brand's name, a brief description of the campaign, which areas of the world are eligible for the partnership, and the amount of compensation given for the campaign. 

If I'm a right fit, I simply hit "Apply" and then I submit myself for the brand partnership. It's really easy because once you sign-up as an influencer, for free, you add in your social media stats and Google Analytics and they auto-populate for each campaign.

Reason #2: An awesome selection of brands to work with on campaigns
I've partnered with The Cirqle on a few really fun brand partnerships from helping to spread the word about Versalume, an innovation light that can double as wearable fashion, or working closely with Sony on their Mr Probz campaign to get excitement around their new award-winning artist.

What I like most about their selection of brands is that it's not all one genre. There are fashion brands, beauty brands, music brands, home decor brands, and more. There's a variety of brands to work that can fit any influencers niche.

Reason #3: Super friendly team
Any time I have a question about a campaign, I can just email my project manager from The Cirqle and they will respond quickly and in a warm, friendly manner to help me navigate through my issue and question. 

It's a pleasure to partner with them and they make every campaign super fun. Huge thanks to them for sending me a lovely Cirqle box full of Inez Cashmere, Marie-Stella-Maris lotion, and Stox Energy Socks.

Fashion Bloggers Night Out for Toys for Tots

Hi lovelies,

On December 4th, 2014, Swank Stylista and Vic Styles partnered with the Emblem Showroom, MediaPlayground PR, and Toys for Tots to create a night of fashion, style, mingling, pampering, yummy drinks, and delicious eats. The soiree was for a good cause as all attendees was asked to bring an unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots, a non-profit organization that gives toys and gifts to children in need during the holiday season.

The night was filled fashion and beauty stations along with burgers and vegan sides provided by Stuff Em, lightly flavored water by Hint, my favorite flavor was Honeydew, and House beer. The brands that participated included Alberto Pants, Azul by Moussy USA, Bou Jeloud, Bravery For All, ExoFab, Focused Space, Priv, Inder Dhillon, J Leer, Kennington Ltd, Matiasen, Matiere, Original Paperbacks, Pocket Square Clothing, Pret-a-Porter Designs, My Single Dress, SWF Boutique, and Thread Haus.

My breakout brands and experiences of the evening were:

Inder Dhillon: The Pretty Tomboy is my favorite collection by the fashion brand, especially the punk sequins look.

---

SWF Boutique: The collection was inspired by the movie, “Single White Female,” and has pretty prints and solids.

---

Priv: It's the 'Uber of mobile beauty.' You can pick which make-up, stylist, or beautician you want to come to you and/or your party for a night of pampering, primping, and fun! 

Fashion Event of the Season: Celebrate In Style

Hi lovelies,

With the holiday season in full bloom, there has a been a flurry of fashion invites to cocktail parties, launch events, grand openings, premieres, and more. But one of the most coveted invites within the fashion community was to the “Celebrate the Season”with InStyle presented by Single Edition Media fashion blogger event.

The night gathered some of the most influential fashionistas and beauty experts in New York City and was held at The Glass Houses, an elegant space located in the Chelsea Arts Tower. In addition to bringing together fashion bloggers, trendsetters, and influencers, the event also had impressive, interactive booths where attendees could connect with select fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands along with other experience programs. There were cocktails and a wine tasting provided by Flight Song Wine. Healthy yet yummy snacks and treats, which were also meat-free and vegan were the compliments of Gardein.

For those who couldn't score an invite to the must-attend blogger network event or make it to New York City in time, they provided an online video streaming option. Not to mention, the social media worlds of Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook were a buzz with posts, pictures, and real-time updates from the event using #CelebrateInStyle.

Some of the breakout brands at one of the most exclusive blogger events included Bulova, who gave us the scoop on accessories and watches. Purple is the new color of the season with winter whites being the color of choice for the holiday season. Jergens shared make-up secrets with celebrity make-up artist Pati Dubroff and their sheer BB Cream. SearsStyle debuted their revitalized fashion line, Metaphor, that has the quintessential must-have items for the Fall wardrobe of the modern woman.

Tagspire officially launched at the event and gives fashion and beauty bloggers an easy digital platform to help them monetize their blogs, personal style posts, images, and photos in a unique way. Silk'n gifted select bloggers with their ReVit Microderm kit that gently exfoliates skin for young, healthy, and vibrant looking skin. Etienne Aigner displayed the latest “It” bag for the ultimate cool girl with their Stag Bags collection that was inspired by a men's camera bag.

Like any amazing event, all attendees received an exclusive swag bag that included gifts from Alassis Candles, RAP Protein Gummies, Balsam Hill, Skinny Girl Daily, Skinny Girl Sparklers, and Beautiful Textures. Can't wait until next time.
