SXSW is one of my favorite Interactive conferences of the year. From catching up with friends, to fun events, amazing food and interesting talks, I always have a good time. Here are some photos from SXSW 2013:

My love for unique watches is well-documented on this blog, so when the folks at Fossil invited me to a holiday preview at their Newbury Street shop, I was tempted. To be honest, though I walk by the store frequently, I hadn’t ventured inside. Would their watches be a fit for my somewhat eclectic taste? Let’s just say that I’m glad that I accepted the invitation, because the answer ended up being a big YES.
Snapped July 2012
Ever scroll through old photos on your computer only to discover a gem that you didn’t share? One look at this photo of the Boston Harbor Hotel during July 2012 had me nostalgic for Boston in the summer. On this particular night, I had treated my good friend Jake to a birthday dinner at LTK in the Seaport district and then went to meet friends by the Boston Harbor Hotel. In the summer the hotel has a variety of events, including live jazz and movies. On this particular evening, they were playing An American in Paris on a massive screen behind the hotel. It was one of those lovely warm summer nights and people were crowded around, sipping wine and relaxing. I turned around and saw what would end up being this photo.
Now that the weather is cold and we’re bundled up in layers, looking at this photo reminds me of good friends, warm summer nights and the hope that we’ll be back there soon.
Now this is what I call conference food!
During social media week in Boston, I was excited to have the opportunity to be the morning keynote on day two of GSMI’s Social Media Strategies Summit Boston. In addition to speaking at the event, I also attended most of the conference for the learning opportunities. I’ve said it before, but social media conferences offer an excellent opportunity to step away from your day-to-day, connect with and learn from other leaders in your field. True to form, this event was no different. Here are several highlights from the event:
Who doesn’t love a good warehouse sale!? If you haven’t already heard about the Gilt City Warehouse Sale, read on. The event, on Saturday, October 20, takes the flash sale concept to a stylish ‘warehouse’ venue – Space 57 at the Revere Hotel. It’s the perfect outing for local fashionistas who enjoy sipping cocktails in a chic space while browsing designer and high end apparel, footwear and accessories at super low prices. Though tickets are going fast, entry for mid-morning ($10) and afternoon ($5) on Saturday are still available here. You can thank me later when you’ve scored a fashionable new find! Enjoy!
