Girls In Tech

Last week was a bitter sweet moment for me and my time with Girls in Tech, San Francisco. It was my last event with the chapter before I relocate next month, but it was by far my personal favorite!  I sat down in front of an oh-so-fashionable audience and had a conversation with the amazing San Francisco fashion blogger Jennine Jacob of The Coveted.

My first blog post for Girls in Tech was about Jennine and her blog that I just fell in love with and visited daily to get the scoop on outfit ideas, new designers, local shops and more. I thought, what better way to end my years volunteering for Girls in Tech with one-on-one talk with Jennine to learn about her successful blog, her amazing Independent Fashion Bloggers Network and other ventures she’s starting.

Jennine modestly walked us through her blogging career that we all see as an amazing success. She is well-known in the San Francisco blogger community, was just featured in San Francisco’s 7×7 Magazine and IFB has a huge membership and is actively involved in New York Fashion Week.

She explained that The Coveted was not an overnight success, but something she worked at for a long time and built her following organically. She gave inspirational tips for new bloggers on how to gain readership, how to get involved in their online communities and how to best monetize their blogs without ads splashed all over.

It was a great event that I was looking forward to after months of execution and planning. I thank Jennine for taking the time to share her journey with our Girls in Tech San Francisco members and other local aspiring bloggers.

Thanks also to the Sandbox Suites for the fantastic venue and to Laura Jane Iriarte for photographing the event! Take a look!
