  • Best Blog By A Fashion Designer Or Brand: Free People walked away with this award. Other nominees included: Hayden Harnett, Tory Burch, Chanel News, Dolce & Gabbana, & Opening Ceremony.
  • Best Facebook Account By A Fashion Designer Or Brand: We think Coach's latest collection, Poppy was partially responsible for them securing this win over DVF, Tory Burch, Victoria Secret, Converse, and Dolce & Gabbana.
  • Best Twitter Account By A Fashion Designer Or Brand. DYNY PR Girl, A crowd favorite won this category with DVF coming in second followed by Rachel Roy, Fake Karl, Stella McCartney, & Louis Vuitton.

ideeli like the rest of the fashion world is greatly saddened by the passing of Alexander McQueen. He left the world too soon. We hope he found the peace he was seeking.

Deliciousness ruled last night at the party ideeli hosted to launch Godiva’s four new liqueurs. Hundreds of guests, many of them ideeli members,came out to a loft in Soho to sample Godiva’s creamy new flavors, get makeovers from POP Beauty’s experts, and generally just get down. Encouraged by DJ Mia Moretti and her amazing accomplice Caitlin Moe--who played an electrified fiddle (to tunes like MGMT’s Kids) like her life depended on it--the intrepid crowd partied while ignoring the impending blizzard. There were even some star sightings Real Housewife of NYC Kelly Bensimon, in all her Amazonian glory, stopped by (watch out for her on the cover of March Playboy), along with Erin Lucas, one of the super-cute girls from The City. Not too shabby for a Tuesday night. Stay tuned for more ideeli events down the road and, starting later this week, coverage of New York Fashion Week.

One of our favorite blogs is not by a style rookie, mother, or large publisher. It is by one of the world's most respected design houses, Dolce and Gabbana. Swide was launched in 2008.The blog is funny and includes content outside of D & G's branding universe like their recent post on  Anna dello Russo or a story on puppy tweets. The blog does not credit authors for any of the posts. We secretly hope that Domenico and Stefano are penning the site. View other blogs we love and vote for your favorite above. The winner will be announced Feb 10th at the Fashion 2.0 Social Media Awards.
