Weekend Links: I Love New York Edition

above: the scene at the T-Mobile Sidekick LX launch

Despite the flurry of activity in my work and personal life this week, I had the chance to attend a fun launch party for the new T-Mobile Sidekick LX. I tested the device, which has a signature flip horizontal screen and intuitive rubber keys-- features which make it perfect for texting and checking your Facebook and Twitter accounts. Understand I'm no tech guru, so it was flattering that I was even invited at all. The lovely Jordana of clutch22 was there rocking some serious green sandals along with a band of other stylish fashion bloggers. It was kind of overwhelming to see people I've been following in the "blogosphere" and I'm kind of a shy fangirl so I didn't get to meet them all. Next time, I will!

Hope you enjoy these weekend links... and have a wonderful weekend. 80 degrees this weekend in New York: I Love New York, indeed!

Nothing makes me happier than wearing a thick statement belt. You can buy three belts from Linea Pelle for $49.99 each (retail starts at $200) from Shopflick's private sales site starting Monday April 27th. For that price, you can afford to buy all three!
