I hit the Red Carpet with ClosetMouse.com!

I recently attended an event in Los Angeles at Vanguard off Sunset with some of the ClosetMouse.com crew! It was wonderful! Project Ethos put on a fabulous fashion event that featured uprising LA-based designers. With great honor, as an Inland Empire personal shopper and wardrobe consultant, I was able to chat with the majority of them before the show and interview them afterwards.

So be sure to check out some of these interviews! Fashion designer Daisy Gonzalez, makeup artist Rachel Lisa, and AUSFAHR's co-founder denim designers Steve Hohenwarter and Lauren Seldomridge are featured pros on ClosetMouse.com. (Interviews with Julia Lovan and GOCI are coming up!)

In this photo: standing next to me is the amazingly talented Michael Godinez who created the concept of ClosetMouse.com, and has poured his blood, sweat, and tears into this venture. Then going from right to left, Jessica Lopes (e-commerce, instore shop mgr), Kamile Kruc (Project Mgr), Michael McVean (ex-editor), and Mayra Mundo (ex-PR networker). When you have a strong team, the work that is involved becomes as exciting as the events we have attended, and will continue to do so. I'm one fortunate managing editor!

...And when it comes to being fortunate, now you can score couture handbags on sale! Our e-store offers you plenty. Please contact me if you have any questions.Stay tuned with all that develops with ClosetMouse.com. It's gonna blow your mind!

"Top 10 Hollywood Abs" from RadarOnline.com

Radaronline.com is my new favorite website for celebrity info and (tasteful) gossip chatter! My latest inspiration for getting and staying fit for the summer is their recent "Top 10 Hollywood Abs" article.

The photos of Madonna, Jessica Biel, and Cameron Diaz are enough to make me throw away my pizza and get my butt on the treadmill. (kickboxing is not ALWAYS enough.) Should there ever be a "Top 10 Inland Empire Abs" -- I want to be featured!

I Need a Personal Assistant/ Intern!

My life is exciting, because I am living my dream. At 7 years old, I filled an entire Hello Kitty journal with cursive writing about my friends and family...in one day! I knew that I would never put the pen down...

But my life is chaotic at the same time. Here are my weekly, career responsibilities:

(1) Committing 40 hours to being the editorial manager at Plastic Surgery Studios

(2) Striving to create an interactive, insightful blog for you, with this 'Good Girl Gone Shopping' site

(3)Making it to kickboxing 2-3 times per week in the evening (my stress reliever...so it really IS a career responsibility...I need to maintain a sense of sanity)

(4) Brainstorming, writing and/or editing fashion articles and blogs for: ClosetMouse.com, AgendaMag.com, ChicGalleria.com, and ShopManhattanite.com's new blog

(5) Social networking and communicating with fabulous bloggers

(6) Brainstorming ideas on how to promote my personal shopping, wardrobe consulting, and styling business

Now where, you are probably asking, does my family, friends, and a social life fit in? Well, I have to be very conscious of separating my time so that I can focus on these priorities as well. Honest truth: me being a workaholic is negatively affecting these areas.

That all said, I need a personal assistant to help me get organized. Keeping me on track regarding deadlines, e-mailing contacts, filing, writing themselves,...all of these things will not only will give that person quality experience - it will provide me with some sanity. I am based in Upland, CA and looking for someone to commit only about 8-10 hours a week, with one day in my office and another day telecommuting from their own home!

For more info, whether you are interested or you have a lead for me, please e-mail me at elana@talkingchic.com.

Help save the 'Good Girl'!
