We will be attending the Social Media for Social Change event tonight in NYC at the Roger Smith Hotel. We wanted to take the opportunity to thank the designers that donated an item for the Smashing Darling Gift Bag that will be in the silent auction tonight. Money raised in tonight’s event will go to City Harvest, an organization helping to feed the homeless. It is so fun to be a part of a community that wants to get involved. From what Modarling tells me, every item that was sent in for the auction is gorgeous.

Many, many, many thanks to our designers who have donated with us.

Social Media For Social Change

by trish on March 23, 2009

SM4SC

What a concept, right? Using the power of the internet to harness like-minded people to do good for some great causes. It is almost time for the SM4SC (Social Media For Social Change) event taking place in NYC, April 3, 2009. This event will benefit City Harvest, rescuing food for New York’s hungry.

Let’s have some fun with this, we have been lucky enough to be given a pair of tickets to the event that we want to share with our lovely community. Ahhhhhh….now, the part where you start to sweat and think, “OMG…what are they going to make me do to get these tickets?” It is really quite simple, leave us a comment on the blog and tell us about how social media has made your life more “smashing!”  Who wins?  The two stories that WOW us the most will win tickets to the most smashing event of the year!

City Harvest

Also to make it a little more fun, the first 15 to leave a comment about how social media has made your life more “smashing” will get a Student Smash Up tee. Our tickets are purchased, our outfits are being made, and we can’t wait to see you there.

Welcome to #25 – The Good News

What’s Going On
March feels like seasonal limbo: snow, rain, sun, wool?, raincoat? – help! Spring brings more light into our world…but not necessarily more cash into the economy.  We of course want people to support independent designers all the time, not just when things are bad. But, reading that people are spending more on handmade clothing because it has meaning, well, that is just music to our ears. Read more here.
It is pretty amazing to have a conversation with a designer about a piece designed just for you, or to learn the inspiration behind a design. Have you had this experience? If you have: comment, email, tell us the story, share with us a favorite local designer. If you haven’t: well then, dig in around Smashing Darling, email a designer and get a conversation started.

Spring is: hand dyed silk charmeuse

Spring is: light, dreamy pastels
What’s New

In only ten days Spring will have officially sprung! Time to shed some layers and lighten and brighten those colors you choose to adorn yourself in. Take a look around this page for ideas or head to the site for more. Be sure to check out the sample sales while you are there. Click here and go now! Those sales won’t last too long.

While other cities prepare for the Fashion Week craze, NYC recovers. If you missed some of our fun head on over to the Darling blog for some recaps. Don’t forget we have our own runway fashion for sale exclusively on Smashing Darling thanks to our friends over at MyItThings.com. It screams Spring – go see!
Coming Soon

Maybe, just maybe, we have something hiding up our sleeve for you all. But darlings, you are just all going to have to wait. But, hey, we have a great distraction for you…
We are happy to once again support Social Media for Social Change (sm4sc), take two, New York City style. We love that sm4sc: was born of the idea that the social media community, these “agents of change” can get together for one night, to support one cause. This year all the proceeds go to City Harvest to help the hungry of New York City.
Come join us, won’t you? Buy: Tickets, they are $45, buy more and they are less. Receive: some good karma, enjoy live music and an open bar, maybe win some Darling (or other) goodies. Skip on out of the house and come meet some great people! Full details here.

Spring is: golden

Spring is: linen, jersey, crochet, lace.
Smashing Kudos and tidbits
Kickin’Kate rocks! We thank her for this great post we missed: tips on gettting involved, as well as some Darling love…some Coutorture linkage to Darling Katie Burley and those fab hats…One photographer + 2 Darlings =  loveliness in San Diego and onward…Brooklyn Roaylty rocks Digital Moda…Great pics and big support for Darling PapuszaCouture from The Clothes Coach.

Happy *almost* Spring!

cheers ~ the Darlings
