Happy Friday everyone! What a productive week! If you took a minute to just quickly look back at your week, what would the highlights be?
Here are some uplifting faves from this week. Enjoy!
Fave Song: This song is hilarious and I love the beat. Don’t lie, you’ve listened to this song more than once!

Fave Tweet: Had a documentary marathon this week. All of which were about eating healthy and the benefits of eating your greens. This is a quote from one of the documentaries we watched.
The doctor of the future will no longer treat men w/ drugs, but rather will cure & prevent disease with #nutrition. – Thomas Edison
Fave Quote: Be brave and take that leap of faith and do what you have to do. Take that opportunity and make it your future.
Fave Funny Video: As Ellen DeGeneres would say, “You never know what funny can do”. She gave him a shout out and wants him to come on to her show. Well done kiddo.
FINALLY! Friday is here! It has been a long week catching up to work that I missed while I was away in New York for Social Media Week. Again, thank you so much Nokia for having me. I put together some things that made me happy, smile & LOL this week. Enjoy!
Fave Video: I haven’t had a girls night with my besties in a long time due to our busy schedules. When I saw this video it made me feel all warm and cuddly inside.
Fave Motivation: The time when I contemplated whether I should get up for a yoga session, and then I saw this. Done deal. Up and ready to go!
Fave Hairstyle: I come across some pretty cool hairstyles everyday and I save them on Pinterest or in my phone. Thinking, one of these days I’ll take some extra time to try it. My goal is to try one every week. Okay maybe every month. Hehe.
Fave Recipe: I’m always on the hunt for inspirational recipes. I bake and cook almost everyday and I love it! I’m in love with this recipe for nerdy brownies and subscribed to see more of her videos!
Fave Office Decor: Kind of late to the Valentine Share party, but I have some of these in my office and every time I see them, without fail. I giggle. :”) Good ol’ Rob Ford.
Wearable technology has come a long way. There was that brief time in history when some people either didn’t understand bluetooth ear pieces or just simply hated them. I reckon mostly because they thought they were being talked too, but in reality the person was talking into their ear piece. Now technology has evolved into being a part of us.
Now we’ve been seeing technology hit the runways! DVF (Diane von Furstenberg) used the Google glasses to capture the DVF creative process from a different perspective, which was accomplished by having the people involved with the entire process of making the show happen, by wearing Google glasses.
DVF created a short film to show her Fashion Show through the model, stylist and designers eyes via Google glass:
Then there’s the new dress that changes colour depending on a woman’s mood. The Bubelle Dress is made up of two layers, the inner layer contains biometric sensors that pick up a person’s emotions and projects them in colours onto the second layer, the outer textile.
Following the trend that only continues to grow, Social Media Week in New York had Tech In Motion host a Wearable Tech Fashion Show.
To mention a few of the contributors of the show:
Atlas Wearables (Austin): Presenting fitness tracker
Augmate (NYC): Presenting Google Glass and Vuzix m100
BrickSimple (Philly): Presenting Google Glass
Continuum Fashion (NYC): Presenting 3D printed shoes
Everpurse (Chicago): Presenting chargeable clutches
Sensoree (San Fran): Presenting mood clothing
If you missed the Fashion Show you can watch it below via livestream:
The health and fitness market brought out many products that look great when worn. Bands that measure how much you’ve run, check your heart beat or measure your health in various categories.
What will be the next best thing when Fashion and Technology collide? 3D printed clothes, clothes that change based on weather automatically? With imagination and determination, anything is possible.
