Blog Talks Take Two: Hart Hagerty of Shanghai Style File
Blogging since October 2009, Hart Hagerty, the taste maker behind Shanghai Style File, currently balances projects as a freelance fashion market researcher by day for the likes of Adidas and H&M with writing gigs for international glossies like Vogue.it.
Hart credits her blog as launching pad for her current projects, many of the trend agencies she currently works with originally found her through blog. "My blog is also how Vogue.it found me. It was the best feeling in the world to recieve an email from their editor, saying that she reads my blog!"
Having recently finished redesigning her site Hart will now be focusing on her content quality so that she features "only the best and brightest things happening in Shanghai." Expect to see a new feature soon about influencers in Shanghai that will help shed light on the local retail scene.

"Just on a whim I posted a photo I snapped on Easter Sunday of a local baby smoking a cigarrette, lit by his very own mother. The post generated 25,000 hits in two days. I was debating whether or not to post it because it's not related to SSF at all, but I couldn't resist. I also get the biggest high when New York Magazine posts some of my street shots in their global street style roundup. It's a crazy honor for my blog to be in the same slideshow along with Scott, Garance and Phil!"
Blog Talks Take Two will be taking place at the Apartment at 4F 47 Yongfu Lu near Fuxing Xi Lu on Wednesday April 24 from 8 pm. Two for one cocktails are available along with a free accessories raffle sponsored by Aroxta.com. Free entry.

"I like creating controversy and getting people to talk about a subject that I'm passionate about... so any time I get fan mail or hate mail is great."

Fashion Crush
This girl's fashion was so great I shot her twice at Shanghai Fashion Week. Her other outfit was stronger though so I kept this chicly casual look for my blog and sent her other one into work.

"Having the site is just a great way for me to archive/catalog my life and at the same time, connect with people in a way that I wouldn't necessarily be able to on a day to day basis. Meeting strangers that are fans of the blog is always a trip, makes me feel embarrassed and happy at the same time.TOUGHLOVE is worldwide and that's a blessing."

Blog Talks Take Two: Denise of SUPERWOWOMG
Next Wednesday I'm making one of my event dreams come true! It'll be the second time I'll be hosting a free talk given by bloggers with a special focus on those who write about the wonderful world of fashion. For the event each speaker will be giving a personal look at their blog- why they write, what they write about, what their blog means to them, etc. Hopefully it'll be an enjoyable event for everyone who comes!
Prior to the event I wanted to give a bit of background info on each blogger, so first up it's Denise of SUPERWOWOMG.
Working by day as a freelance graphic designer Denise has been running her blog since 2008. Her distinctive style and standout taste making abilities has seen her collaborate with J.Crew, Cole Haan, Forever 21, 7 for all Mankind and ASOS.com for styling projects over the years. Hot damn, this girl has definitely reached a certain cult status to be working with such established names! And with an ever modest demeanor we can't wait to see what she has to bring to the Shanghai fashion scene having recently relocated here.

"I'm very grateful for the opportunities to collaborate with internationally known brands and am thankful that many online and print publications such as TimeOut, Cosmopolitan Australia and IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) have been so nice to feature me. Also through blogging, I've been able to meet some great people that have become some really good friends!"

I liked the easy breezy style I spotted on this woman at Xintiandi during Shanghai Fashion Week. Unfortunately I forgot I had my camera on manual from taking photos inside at the La Vie show, so besides this one, the photos I took of her were overexposed as unusable.
