"I am very excited to head to the west coast for our fifth installment of the Lucky FABB Conference.  The group of influencers Lucky brings together at the conference are setting the trends in blogging, e-commerce and social media and are truly redefining how fashion, beauty and technology work together,said Lucky General Manager and Senior Vice President, Gillian Gorman Round. "Additionally, it's the perfect opportunity for our advertising partners to reach such a highly sought-after audience. This event enables them to get their products in the hands of an inspiring group who have the same aesthetic as Lucky. We are thrilled to have P& G Grooming as the presenting sponsor once again along with LeSportsac, AG Jeans, L'Occitane, Miss Me, Style Network and Tacori."

The conference will conclude with a Q and A session with Betsey Johnson and an exclusive screening of her Style Network show, "XOX Betsey Johnson."

I'm looking forward to attending this conference and learning more about Social Media and Blogging.  I attended last year's conference and it was very worthwhile. From my perspective, Lucky Fabb offers a taste of all that is fabuless, social skills within a luxury destination spot. Follow my updates during the conference via Twitter @Recessionista.
