IFB CONFERENCE, NY FASHION WEEK BLOGGERS PANEL: BRANDS, ADS & SPONSORED POSTS. SLEEVEY WONDERS SLIP-ON SLEEVES.
It was an honor to speak at IFB Conference during NY Fashion Week. I uploaded a video of my moments on the mike.
Keep reading for the goods, and to learn about a marvelous garment for Lolita dresses!
I spoke on the “What are Bloggers Worth?” panel, to an audience of hundreds. What advice did I give? How was my performance?
Watch the video above and on YouTube to decide. (You can also subscribe to my lacarmina channel.)
I’m in love with my lace sleeves, a gift from Sleevey Wonders. Since I dislike wearing heavy blouses under sleeveless dresses and Lolita JSKs, these garments are an elegant solution. Made with 4-way stretch fabric, they transform the same dress into a completely different look (a clever way to expand your wardrobe). And the design is slimming: no Photoshop!
Sleevey Wonders generously offered 15% off all orders, with the code LACARMINA15 — so support indie and women-run businesses, and shop away. You can also add their Facebook for more ideas to beautify your wardrobe.
Another lovely Lolita accessory: handmade hair flowers clips. A present from Angelica Brigade.
Always fun to see Bryanboy. He spoke on the IFB social media panel.
Jennine Jacob of The Coveted founded IFB and organized this event — she rocked it. (Photos above by BFA.)
Tiger striped dress: gifted by Sourpuss. (Click to buy the same dress, in cupcake pink and black print.)
Bone necklace: got at the Monomania shop in Laforet Harajuku. Similar to this.
Yukiro wears a Nyanpire cat cosplay jumpsuit from Tokyo.
The other ladies on my panel: Susan Schwartz – Glamour; Jessie Thorpe – Denimology; Jenni Radosevich – I Spy DIY; Kat Griffin – Corporette; Lauren Tesar – Lifebooker.
Always a pleasure to see our friends at Lyst.
Jinna Boo of Grease & Glamour moderated the panel.
To those of who you came: it was wonderful to meet you.
And to those who couldn’t make it… hope to see you next time!
Check out more photos from the Evolving Influence event.
Did you enjoy my fashion blogging talk? Intrigued by the Sleevey Wonders garments? I wear a different pair of sleeves in my Industrial dance video for Japan.

Another alt fashion duo, La Carmina and Yukiro, was spotted all over New York Fashion Week.
We stopped by Caravan Studios for the Socialyte Collective event. It was a fashion blogger’s paradisco: designers items to take home, champagne and veggie wraps, hair styling stations. Can’t wait to come back for more.
Outfit change. Yukiro wears Angelica Brigade flowers on his hips.
My red sailor retro dress is gifted by Bettie Page Designs. The incredible zebra and gems nail art is by Glam Nail Studio.
Photographers everywhere.
GenArt showcased young and emerging fashion talent. We enjoyed Wen Shi’s “little white wardrobe.”
Interview time. My knit hair bow is a present from Camden Lock Clothing.
Next outfit! Yukiro wore a bracelet and necklace gifted by Angelica Brigade.
Spiky Lady Gaga-like sunglasses gifted by AndDevour.
At the Heart Truth Red Dress show. Celebrities (Rose McGowan, Christie Brinkley) walked the runway, raising awareness for heart disease in women.
Don’t you think Yukiro outshined Miss USA? What do you think of his strong, unique style?
PS: Thanks Muita Moda for the “entrevista exclusiva.” In the Brazilian fashion interview, I talk about my age and relationship status… or do I?
