As bloggers, we tend to receive a ton of emails from PR pros looking to get their products out to the masses. In this day and age, marketing to bloggers is a sure fire and easy way to get your brand or company tons of coverage while possibly hitting an audience you typically would never be able to the conventional way. I am super picky as to who I work with and this could be a reason why you, my readers do not see a ton of sponsored posts and c/o next to every little item on my blog. Yes it is a business but it is MY business and my name behind it so maintaining its integrity is everything to me. Before I even start to talk about Noonday as a company, I want to first highlight Nicole Schumann, their communications manager. She is a true star in my opinion. Her email was personalized and there was no doubt that she actually reads my blog. It instantly made me want to work with her before even knowing about her product. I am up pretty fed up with getting emails from PR companies that begin with “Hey Comme Coco”…. like really?!!? That is my blog name, not my name. Address me properly please if this is a business venture. Nicole’s email was not only personalized but she even told me how she found out about me which helps me see which platforms get me the most exposure. She spoke briefly on her favorite posts of mine and why she was reaching out to me.
I cannot rave enough about how wonderful she is and I believe she should be doing PR for everyone. Or at least teaching classes on proper email etiquette 🙂
Noonday Collection is an accessories company that uses fashion and design to create economic opportunity for the vulnerable and less fortunate. Their founder Jessica Honnegger started the company as a fundraiser for her son’s adoption from Rwanda and the movement has significantly grown. On August 28th, they launched their fall and winter collection and I was excited and pleased to see bracelets made from artisans in my home country of Haiti. I will do anything possible to help my native island and was beyond geeked to receive these stunners. I have a special photoshoot and outfit to perfectly showcase these beauties but wanted to give you all a preview of them.
For this post I am rocking the 2 Coins necklace from Ethiopia and it goes with everything without overpowering! It is the perfect piece to add a little pizzazz to any outfit!
Visit their Facebook page and enter to win a shopping spree! If I won it, I would definitely be getting the Scattered Steps Necklace, the Urban Folklore Bag, Modern Angles Necklace, The Brightly Wound Bracelets and the Braided Bullet Necklace.
Always remember: Inhale Fashion and Exhale Style!
