Canopi

Hi -

It's Lisa over at MonaLisaMarie. I want to share a new site with all my favorite San Diego Bloggers. Because Google Reader is going away there aren't many options for following your favorite blogs all in one place. There is Bloglovin or my new favorite Canopi. The site allows you to search for specific blog content and rate blogs based on your preferences.

As a member of Canopi, you can set-up your blog feed to automatically update to the site and even receive bi-weekly stats on your posting scores. Canopi also gives you exposure to brands and hopefully new opportunities.

If you are curious about Canopi, click here to see a presentation from one the founders, Erin Flynn.

Have a great week and I hope to see you over at Canopi!

CFDA {Fashion Incubator} Isaora Blogger Brunch

When Suzanne from J Public Relations and Diana at the W Hotel San Diego contacted me about getting blogger presence at this event I said YES, because hello, there is blogger presence in San Diego! The concept behind it was pretty cool and also another great opportunity for us to mingle.

The W teamed up with the CFDA {Fashion Incubators} Program, where they foster up and coming New York designers to help them grow and sustain their business. Yesterday, The W San Diego hosted a gorgeous brunch at their restyled (and very chic) Rooftop and Living Room Lounge in honor of visiting designers Isaora. The W's chef laid out delicious brunch bites from their KELVIN restaurant and the bar had a great drink set up- with one of my faves, blood orange mimosas. Meanwhile, the designers from Isaora were on hand, as well as some of their pieces. Isaora, a forward-thinking clothing company based in NYC, their clothes are mainly modern sportswear. The designers had been traveling down the west coast gathering inspiration for their next collection and made their last stop here in San Diego.

The blogger turn out was amazing and I want to thank all of you for coming!! I love that San Diego Style Bloggers are becoming a close knit community where everyone is already familiar with each other and also welcoming to new faces. I hope that those who attended had a great time and those who weren't able to make it, stay tuned because there are more events in the works!

Also, special thank you to the W San Diego team, especially Diana for organizing such a great event! And we have to thank San Diego for bringing out the best weather a rooftop brunch could have!

Now for the pictures, don't forget to link up your blog post about this event below :) I would love to see y'all's coverage as well.

'Til the next fashionable event,
