Online shopping today seems to be very popular and now a days everything we see on celebrities is available online, but most of them are based in the USA and we as Canadians have to deal with the shipping fee, paying additional costs when we receive our package etc.

I recently found this website via Twitter called Pavlyn Boutique. I was not sure what it was but hey I like shopping and I like online shopping so why not check it out. To my surprise it was a Canadian online shopping site that was started in 2011 by two best friends, Anna and Maria.

Founders of Pavlyn Boutique

Their website is easy to use and very easy to shop, you can shop by category, designer, celebrity, or the editors pick. They also have a style service that they provide which I find not a lot of online website have. What you is email them  what you are looking for providing as much detail as possible so they can help narrow down an outfit and picks for you.

I am absolutely in love with this website and love the brand that they carry.  For all you fashion and online shopping addicts should definitely check it out.

Social Media Week 2012

This week (February 13th -17th) marks the annual week where social media pros and advocates raise awareness about the world of social media. This phenomenon is spreading like wildfire. Think to yourself, “How often do I use social media in one day?” It is used to connect to current employers, future employers, companies, and an array of interests such as art and tourism. In today’s North American society alone, the use of social media is at an all time high, from Facebook to Twitter (the most common sources), to LinkedIn and Pintrest (newer, highly used outlets) to information sources like Mashable.com and Fast Company.
Social Media Week is a global conference which discusses upcoming events, trends, and relevant information about emerging social media developments. The week gets many people involved in discussing how social media has an effect on our society and brings together people who are solely interested in learning about social media, to the people who base their lives around it such as bloggers, activists, artists, and company leaders. On the rise for Social Media Week is the discussion of mobile media. With smart phones seen in everyone’s hand, it is only natural that new phone technology has created a rise in social media usage.
