Random Wednesday

I have a few random thoughts for this late summer Wednesday:

• I don't have much photographic evidence (shame on me), but I attended the Chictopia 10 Media Tech Summit on Sunday in New York City. I thought is was a very nice event and I enjoyed meeting some talented, stylish bloggers and hearing some very insightful panel discussions on trendsetters, visibility in the online world, the effect of technology on the fashion industry and its debatable inclusiveness and a designer showcase of some talented up-and-coming designers . The advice to 'stay true to yourself' was reiterated through out the day.
• I need to start picking out my outfits the night before like I did during the 30 for 30 challenge. I still spend entirely too much time staring at my closet trying to figure out what to wear or to realize at the last minute that whatever I want to wear is in the laundry.
• I made cupcakes last night from a recipe in this book that I got from the library. They turned out better than my first attempt. I like this book so much that I think I'll buy it.
• The season premiere of Gossip Girl (yes, I watch that show) made me want to hop on a plane and go to Paris immediately.
• I saw Janelle Monae perform live earlier this week and she sounds great live! I forgot how much I love going to concerts. Now I have to figure out how to do my hair in a pompadour like hers...
• I'm so ready for the weekend to arrive!
• That's it for the random-ness, Happy Thursday!
