People that know me, know I am a big believer in networking. As a former insurance agent with Met Life and later a VP with Smith Barney I understand its value. Often at networking events I would meet people with a sphere of influence that could help me grow both my business as well as theirs. In the financial industry, we call these people “connectors” – the ones that know when money is in motion. This blog will help fashion professionals navigate the networking playing field. It’s Like Playing “Connect the Dots” CPAs are usually one of the first people that know when one of their clients have just come into a large sum of money be it the sale of a business, or their Real Estate holdings.

I am very excited to write about something that is near and dear to my heart with someone that is near and dear to my heart, Social Media and Search Engine Optimization with Digital Media Specialist Amanda Caserta. Amanda and I sat down for breakfast at my favorite breakfast spot, Einsteins Bagels, while I enjoyed a cup of Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee and a Poppy Seed Bagel. Amanda sipped on Black Rose tea and noshed on a Croissant. We spoke about how to navigate the world of SEO. Steve: Amanda I know when you’re not busy working on Santa Fe Fashion Weeks’ Website, Social Media, and Fashion Blogging, and among a host of other activities you also work as a Digital Media Specialist for the local Toyota Parts Department, administrating their website and increasing their social reach on the Web. Fashion and Auto Parts – what an odd combination. Amanda: I…
Hello Again! I had planned on writing posts daily while i was at #MAGICLV. I had planned on making regular social media posts to keep everyone posted on what we were doing. I had planned on doing this and speaking with designers, buyers, and sponsors and seeing every bit of the world-class fashion trade-show that there was, all while attending pertinent classes about the business of fashion while I was there. roflmfao. So that certainly didn’t happen, but what did happen was nothing short of incredible. I was able to take a few breathtaking pictures of the desert on the way. When I finally got to see the Las Vegas strip at night I was moved to tears. I fell in love with the realness and romance of the downtown area where I saw a happy-faced musician banging away on some paint cans and other odds n ends with the…
#SFFW is co-hosting a party @LilyBarLV @Bellagio w/ @syrupswimwear and @allieolliestore – @magicmarketweek #MAGICLV pic.twitter.com/JkCfQxCFkI — Amanda Mayhem (@theamandamayhem) February 15, 2014 I’ve been firing up the ‘ol twitter account and daydreaming about our roadtrip to the MAGIC Tradeshow in Las Vegas! I’m looking forward to many twitters, tweets, FB updates, and Instagram photos… probably with a nice vignette filter from my phone. I soooooo can’t wait to feast my eyes on the latest and hottest fashions – considering that not only is my ca-rEEr in fashion, but this trip will be my first REAL trip to Las Vegas, Nevada – what a dream! I can’t wait to tell the world every juicy detail, and live every beautiful moment that presents itself. I just know I’m going to meet so many wonderful people and connect with just the right buyers to sit their butts in my Santa Fe Fashion Week…
