Since we spend almost every waking hour scouring the best films, productions, and editorial layouts for your product placement benefit, we rally have time to venture out of the office to breath in the “fresh air” of NYC – seriously I think our office doorman thinks I am secretly living here. So when our brains start to freeze up on overload, we take a break by delving into the blogoshpere for a quick jewelry and accessory gossip fix. Some of these great writer’s offer us the leg up knowledge on trends to come, some give us insight into industry news, and some just offer pure old celebrity fashin’ bashin.’ (We like to mix it up.) So, here are our top ten favorite blogs. We hope, like most things in life, that you learn something while having fun. Enjoy!
1) Daily Candy - You can get it delivered to your mailbox, or just check it out when you feel like it, but this blog offers some of the most entertaining and informative tidbits daily. Plus, they have a focused blog for all major cities, and a “dedicated email” that applies to everyone.2) Go Fug Yourself - The name itself excites curiosity, and when you check it out you’ll understand the obsession.
