What’s Going On
Whirling dervishes, that is what we are! Things are busy in the Darling world. Last month JulieDarling -always keeping her hand on the tech pulse for our Darling world- was in San Fran attending the girls in tech conference. TrishDarling and MoDarling just had a blast at the BUST mag 15th anniversary party - and oh what a party it was! Congrats to the entire BUST staff for 15 years celebrating girl culture on the cutting edge. Then we were up and at ‘em early to check out the excellent 3rd Ward and meet Bob from Brooklyn Royalty; keep your fingers crossed for video footage of laughs and inspiration shared with her. She has amazing things in store for her upcoming fashion show in September, but we can’t tell! |

What’s New
Wait, there’s too much! Did I forget Mashable’s SummerMash last week? Maybe MoDarling had a bit of fun there as well…great people everywhere. We don’t want you to feel left out, there is fun for all in the Darling blog. If you have missed it (maybe you should subscribe!) please send us some pics to show us how you wear your indie fashion from any indie or emerging designer. Check in on Friday’s for our guest editor picks, then Saturday morning coffee-time can be spent playing the Scavenger Hunt and maybe scoring a free SMASH UP tee - come play with us!
Congrats also go out to the 25 lucky winners, out of the thousands that subscribed, to Venuszine and won gift certificates to shop on Smashing Darling. Keep checking in because you never know what we are going to give away next.

Coming Soon
Survey, Survey, Survey
Soon we will be asking for your help and opinions in the form of a survey. We know it really is not your favorite thing to do. BUT if you can take a deep breath and do it for us that will send just a bit more good karma out into the world…we all need that, right? When it comes along please tell us what you think so we can continue to build useful features, fine tune what is already there, and just plain check in to hear what you have to say about this community we are building.
