- Do preliminary research on the vendors that will be attending, which you can find the complete list here
- Make a plan for all of the days you will be at MAGIC (hopefully you can stay for all 3). Plan out where you're going to go and utilize the map so you can maximize all of your time

Hey fashion friends! Welcome back to another episode of The Haute Guide!
Today we're discussing how life has been life'in - apologies in advance for the random rants, Telfar's monogrammed bags, Offset for Variety, Kanye & Bianca's crazy fashion - but more importantly why I feel all fashion experts should get into podcasting!

How to Create A Fashion Podcast:
- Figure out your 3-5 main podcast takeaways/areas that your podcast will cover specifically in fashion
- Figure out your platform. I suggest Libsyn
- Figure out the frequency in which you will create and post content that makes the most sense for you
- Get your equipment: You can view all of my recommendations on my Amazon storefront
- Get your recording software: I suggest Audacity (and it's free!)
Below are also some of my favorite fashion podcats (besides mine of course):
- Boutique Business With Jance Chartae
- Crash Course Fashion
- What Are You Wearing?
- Spirit of 608
