GROUP Fashion Show Bookings Calendar

May 6th, 2008

Boutique Cafe would like to feature your groups designs for an upcoming launch you might have in the works. We realize this may take some coordination to get images together and sent in so we’re booking features for group Fashion Shows now through the end of summer. Bookings will be done on a first come, first served basis and the fashion showcase will last one week on our front page (then of course in our archives).


We’ve created a new Bookings Calendar, to use it simply search availability for a GROUP Fashion Show feature on Boutique Cafe. Once you see your desired date, send us an email to: daria@boutiquecafe.com with the following information for approval.

- Dates of your launch (this is critical)
- Number of participants
- Theme/Name of your launch
- How long your group has been running
- The leader’s name and contact info if applicable
- If you’re group would like to offer a prize or giveaway to coincide with the feature on Boutique Cafe (we highly recommend offering some type of giveaway as extra incentive for our readers to check out your launch listings.)

*Once your date is approved and we confirm with you, we’ll require some additional information, 1 image per participating member for the Fashion Show, your group logo and a quote about your group and what makes it special. (**images will need to be supplied at least 1 week in advance of your feature date in order to create the movie. If they are not received 1 full week in advance your feature will be cancelled)

We’re so excited to offer this great opportunity to so many talented designer groups! Cheers - Daria

LobotoMe - organizing for your cranium

January 22nd, 2008

LobotoMe Today I’m dishing about a product line that gives us back our sanity, and works efficiently to help us get organized. It’s all about LobotoMe paper planners that are sure to get us all on track for the new year!

There’s something really satisfying and powerful about making lists, I’ve always been a real list maker and love to have all my duties laid out in front of my eyes. When I take that extra step to write it down, I see greater results in the amount of things that I can accomplish. However, I’m not perfect and I definitely need a little help getting everything prioritized, and then staying on track. I was sent the organizeMe Weekly Planner, and got right to work filling in my weeks activities. This planner doesn’t disappoint, in fact they have really covered the bases with spots for my entire week full of appointments. For the Mom who doesn’t exactly put herself as a priority, the Weekly organizeMe planner offers reminders to drink your water, take vitamins, and hit the gym (you can add in - Get A Massage, Pedicure and New Outfit if you like, that’s what I did). It’s like having an assistant that really cares about you right there in your own writing.

I loved that this pad included 60 pages on white recycled paper (1 for each week) to take along with you, just tear off your week’s schedule and bring it along in your purse wherever you go. It’s all there at a glance. And since LobotoMe includes some additional pages, you can definitely help out another stressed out Mommy in need by giving her a LobotoMe, or at least a weekly page to make her feel that way. :) LobotoMe

The LobotoMe website is rich in humor and offers “goods to keep me sane”. Everything from a Mantra Poster for your wall, to PackMe travel pads for your next trip, Feed Me meal planning pad, Save ME to do list pad, even a HoneyDo note pad!

By shopping LobotoMe products you are buying eco-friendly organization gear. And LobotoMe even offers a Brain Fog Blog with a great dose of “sanity saving tips…to save you from a trip to the looney bin”. So go check out the website today and get your very own LobotoMe! - Daria
