Approximately six months ago, the thought of tweeting or doing status updates on Facebook perplexed me. I didn’t see the point, I didn’t have the time and I assumed it was something teenagers used to pass time. Now I can say that yes, I love social media!

Social media has allowed me to connect with you! My loyal clients, prospective customers, industry peers and provide style advice, event reviews all through this “update” portal which allows you to also engage in conversation and speak to me directly.

The fashion and beauty industry relies heavily on social media and it seems everyone is now participating; journalists, retailers, industry experts and designers/developers. You can instantly see the runways after global fashion weeks, red carpet images are uploaded almost instantly and news spreads like wildfire.

I love the transparency social media has created. Instead of being guarded with the information you can offer others, it’s about sharing it. So every day I try to offer you value and relatable topics.

I put together inspiration boards of celebrity trends and my favourite things in stores, I do reviews on red carpet events and let you know when there is a sale you can’t miss or indeed when it’s been a hard day and I need a glass of wine – cheers to you all! So here are some questions for you:

1. What are your thoughts on using social media?

2. What do you want to see more of? Style advice, news, inspirational pieces?

If you’re new to social media, create a profile and just watch for a while, you’ll be amazed at the quantity and diversity of information available to you. And my social media promise is to keep in touch and if you have any style or beauty questions, I would love to help so post away!

Oh and I always love a good style story so be sure to share them with the group or with me at cindy@cinz.com.au.
