A very big THANK YOU to Syed for choosing @myblocktyler from @myblockTO as a contest winner to attend the @shine_influencers #shinetalk! Who: Syed Sohail Blog: The Prep Guy - TPGSTYLE Instagram: @theprepguy Twitter: @Theprepguy Facebook: www.Facebook.com/ThePrepGuyStyle #bloop is the chosen hashtag used by @theprepguy to sometimes describe when things go awry though awry is far from how you'd describe the furiously successful career of one of the hardest working bloggers in #Toronto we've ever met - his dedicated team of fans, known as #Prepsters agree! @ThePrepGuy blog was not only recently nominated for a 2015 @notableCA #NotableAwards, it was also named the 95th best website out of 423 sites by @RMRStyle. Professionally Syed has worked with nearly 100 brands including @GeneralMotors, @ChevroletCanada, @simonshomme, @OMEGA and is also cofounder of the weekly mens fashion/mens style Twitter chat #gentschat held every Monday from 5PM - 6PM alongside @PerryEllis and other top fashion bloggers! You can also check out his first (we hope of many) @HuffingtonPost article HERE: www.huffingtonpost.ca/syed-sohail/minority-toronto-fashion_b_9361274.HTML No stranger to front seats of runways , you can read up on all of his @tom_fw coverage and much much more on @ThePrepGuy's blog: www.tpgstyle.com At @myblockTO we're certainly all proud #prepsters!

Something almost surreal happened when she walked into the room. Everyone's head turned and I immediately needed to know #whoisshe? Who: Lauren McPhillips Blog: This Renegade Love •Instagram: @thisrenegadelove •Twitter: @thsrenegadelove •Pinterest: pinterest.com/thsrenegadelove •Facebook: facebook.com/This-Renegade-Love-1470701666518715 Style: She's got plenty. On a scale of 1 - 10, blogger and panelist at the @shine_influencers #shinetalk conference, Lauren McPhillips, left a first impression that measured precisely: #immaculate. One may imagine that it would be necessary to have such a healthy dose of professional experience (including a career in the UK as @contiki’s global PR + Partnerships Manager, editorial experience at @styleathome magazine and a degree in English Literature & European History) in order to develop such a strong personal brand. However, though grateful for those she has learned from most, and for all her hard work, Lauren explains, "You have to take risks." True. "This Renegade Love is a place where anything is possible. All you really need is a heavy dose of positivity and the will to try". We recommend you try finding out more. We'll surely be keeping an eye on what comes next! www.thisrenegadelove.com #shine 🌟 (at The Spoke Club)

"What initially started as a plus size fashion blog has turned into so much more". Who: Assa Cisse Blog: My Curls and Curves Instagram: @mycurvesandcurls Facebook: facebook.com/mycurvesandcurls Twitter: @mycurvesndcurls During panelist discussions at the @shineinfluencers #shinetalk conference, guest speaker and blogger Assa Cisse explained how her content is sewn together seamlessly - with the common thread of being an everyday person who her readers can relate to. In her blog My Curves & Curls and throughout her social media posts, she proudly celebrates being a full figured woman of colour with a job and a home and a happy family. "The best rate of response comes from the posts where I include my kids, my readers really like that" Happiness can be seen in every smile of each of the photos she posts, and... the photography on her site is exceptional. Don't take our word for it though, check out her Instagram for yourself! Why all the smiles? Why not? "I feel much more prettier and happier when I smile. Don't we all?"

Let Pangea Dreams bring the world to you! myblockTO was introduced to Tracy and Bettina from pangeadreams.com at the 2015 @shine_influencers conference. Meeting these two ladies was a trip in itself! Natural & colourful enthusiasm warmed the room when they took the stage & mapped their branding success with abundance of first class advice. (The next day I searched for last minute flights.) Regretfully at the time of this post, millennial sources could not confirm an appreciation towards the suggested one thousand words per picture value. Therefore, we take liberty in offering our opinion that injustice would be served using traditional ratios to describe the remarkable visual artistry presented on the Pangea Dreams Instagram account. 👍 Prior to viewing @pangeadreams (1) APPLY SUNSCREEN LIBERALLY (2) LOCATE YOUR VALID PASSPORT (3) POUR YOURSELF A MARGARITA If you've got the itch to travel... scratch it! #shinetalk @myblockTO (at The Spoke Club)
