I recently had the great opportunity to meet Alexis Maybank, Co-Founder of Gilt Groupe. Though we didn’t have long to chat one on one, she did give a nice presentation to attendees of her recent book signing in San Francisco.

The 2011 indie flick “Restless” is an endearing movie about youth, life, death, and love that’s meaning will long stay with you after you watch it. Brilliant Mia Wasikowska (who played Alice in Tim Burton’s rendition of “Alice in Wonderland”), stars as Annabel Cotton alongside her quirky [...]
I love when fashion brands get creative with their online marketing techniques! Today, ModCloth (one of the most socially savvy e-commerce companies around) has partnered with another San Francisco-based startup, Airbnb (a company that helps you find super unique short-term places to stay around the world), to bring you a vintage-inspired contest.

I remember the general anticipation surrounding the 2010 Burton movie “Alice In [...]
