The Insider Behind Style Curator
You know that person that always seems to know what is going to be "in" before anyone else knows about it? That is Michal Spitzer, the girl behind Style Curator. She was blogging and tweeting before I even had a smartphone. Always the one to come to if you needed to know what products work and where to go for that hard to find gift. Lucky for us, she writes about her favorite things on Style Curator when her uber-demanding job (as designer at Michael Smith Inc) gives her a little free time (see favorite discovery below). I am not the only person to think so either, C Magazine recently featured Michal in The C List. Recently I asked Michal about a few of her favorite things.
