My 15 FANTASTIC minutes with #theKindnessCab & Leon Logothetis

Sami — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 01:44:07 +0000

Sunday night was spent watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s since “people don’t belong to people” kept popping in my thoughts. As I’m watching it and checking my twitter feed (because we can’t do one thing only, anymore) something came up. I saw a tweet that said “this is so cool #thekindnesscab & Leon Logothetis will be [...]

Check this Music Out: Lykke Li

Sami — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:11:54 +0000

Technically speaking, she is perfect and before I go on I’d like to go on the record to say that I am a huge fan of Lykkle Li. But, I also have to say that her live performances are a different story. Friends and I have had conversations about Lykke’s live performances. I saw her [...]

Dîner en Blanc – Chicago

Sami — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 04:48:02 +0000

Attending #DeBChicago was such an amazing time. I cannot thank the founders enough and am so proud to have been a Head of Table (HOT!) in this fabulous event! All I have to say is: I cannot wait for next year! It all started with @SecndCitySoiree asking me to be “Head of Table” for a [...]

12 Great Takeaways from #20SBSummit Keynote Speakers

Sami — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:56:00 +0000

#20sbsummit saw great panels and fantastic creative energy. By the end of it I felt like I’ve grown years in wisdom. I genuinely believe that it’s one of the best conferences this year in Chicago, along with #bbsummit11. Although, in terms of speakers and panelists I think 20SBSummit had the best of any conference I’ve [...]

Check this Music Out: ELLIE GOULDING

Sami — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 19:15:34 +0000

I never realized how much I loved live music until I went to Lollapalooza this year. It was absolutely my favorite weekend this summer! I then realized something else, I realized how much I loved non-headliners. I enjoyed the big names like Eminem and even Coldplay but there’s something so contagious about the energy coming [...]

#20SBSummit, why you’re going, where you’re going & how to get FREE tickets!

Sami — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 03:52:03 +0000

Your breath smells fantastic. Like fruit! Above line is one of many that you’ll get to hear me say when we meet at 20SBSummit‘s opening cocktail reception. Yes, it’s a conference that will teach you so many wonderful useful things with one of the best (looking) speakers line-up I’ve seen in a while but we [...]

Brands & Bloggers Summit, Things I learned

Sami — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:31:58 +0000

Last weekend I attended Brands and Bloggers Summit in Chicago. I tend to visit few conferences a year but this was a truly an educational AND a fun conference. I can’t wait to go again next year and learn even more! The summit had an amazing collection of brands and bloggers coming together to learn, [...]

Cirque’s OVO in Chicago-love at first sight, insects style!

Sami — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 00:57:14 +0000

Last week I was invited to attend Cirque’s OVO in Chicago at the United Center and I’m so glad I accepted. The show was a mix of laughs, sighs and many claps from members of the audience. OVO is a sweet romantic comedy plus a bit of impressive acrobatics acts, upbeat music and comical characters–insects [...]

Guide to Japanese trend in Chicago: Sake

Sami — Wed, 25 May 2011 16:06:31 +0000

Chicago has always been a foodie town with so many amazing restaurants to chose from. Sometimes it’s hard to go back to one because you know you have so many others you’d like to try. Recently, Chicago has seen the opening of more than few Izakayas. What is an Izakaya you ask? Izakaya is originally [...]
