If you missed out on the fabulous panel “So Your A Blogger? Now What?!” about how to build a career out of blogging, you’re in luck for the replay. The informative panel was curated by Macala Wright Lee of @FashMarketing with Crosby Noricks of @PR_Couture, Erica Domesek of @PSIMADETHIS, Jane Aldridge of @Sea_Of_Shoes, Hilla Ohayon of @HillaO, and Elizabeth Weinger @EWeinger from StyleSection LA.

Some of my favorite highlights were:

• Has fashion blogging reached a saturation point? @PR_Couture & @psimadethis believes there’s still fresh perspectives & new POVs
• Don’t dilute your blog or brand for money. – @psimadethis

First Look at Jane Aldridge of “Sea of Shoes” designs for Urban Outfitters

After months of rumors and speculation on the blogger darling, Jane of Sea of Shoes and Urban Outfitters collaboration, the first image was released today and causing a web frenzy.  Urban Outfitters sought out Jane’s talents after viewing her expressiveness and creativity on her cult-status blog.

Avid readers and shoe fanatics will have to contain themselves until this capsule collection exclusive to Urban Outfitters of three styles is released next month in July. “I’m really excited to bring my designs to Urban Outfitters,” says Aldridge. “The inspiration for this collection is a mish-mash of some of the elements of my favorite pairs—sort of Victoriana meets gladiator warrior.”

Within the collection there is to be:

1) Dramatic knee-high brown leather peep-toe boots featuring top-stitched detailing
2) Lacing at the front, black gladiator heels with studs and twin buckle straps
3) Lace-up pointy skimmers

Kudos to my fellow Texan and for bloggers taking the fashion world by storm!
