Well I am hoping they will forgive me and I promise to share all the updates on a regular basis starting&#8230;..um&#8230;now!    Today Fergie is going to be a guest judge, so check it out!

I used to shop at Off Broadway shoes ALL the time when I lived in NC so making the connection with Beth Konney who is their PR Consultant was so much fun especially because she lives in my home town of Charlotte, NC.  The memories immediately came flooding back of me walking into the store by my house and wondering what wonderful delights I was going to find! What I loved about Off Broadway compared to other discount retail&#8230;]]></description>

This is such a cool challenge and even better our friends at BROWN SHOE are sponsoring it! The contestants must create a toning shoe that would be a relief to feet after a long hard day. Not only must the shoe be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, it needs to be made completely out of recycled materials! Tune in April 4th as the winner will be announced. I am very excited to see what everyone comes up with!

This story is the perfect example of why we should always have an open mind to networking and consistently follow my #1 rule&#8230;.when someone tells you to show up, you better show up! It also shows the exact reason why I started my event Professional Girls Night Out. I feel there is a need for more simple and fun networking opportunities whe&#8230;]]></description>

I love it! One of my biggest complaints about trade show websites is that they make it so difficult to check out new brand websites and contact the right person to set up an appointment.
