Community News and new darlings
Darlings, darlings everywhere! Do you know that we are 400 designers strong here in our Smashing Darling brave-new-world? New boutiques are popping up daily in our community; take a moment to surf around the site, hang out, and meet some of the new darlings in our community. If you happen to be a designer in the New York area we would love to see you at next month’s Fashion 2.0 Meet Up. Join us there and help elevate the indie voice, as well as learn more about how the social web can help you as a designer. Darlings, the fashion industry is transforming right before our eyes, and you are on the edge of it all! Be proud, and be smashing!

Photo Critiques, etc.
Great convos have started in the blog when it comes to photo tips. Praise and new perspectives for how to make your product shots the best they can be; every Monday that is what you can find. BUT, only if you email JulieDarling and volunteer your store. Don’t be scared, she promises to only play nice - that is the only Darling rule! Head over to the archive and read the comments so far.
