I think we’ve all experienced that “the one that got away feeling.” You finally fall in love, you find “the one” but there’s something about “that one” you feel you have to resist the temptation and just walk away. I’m obviously talking about shopping here. How many times have you seen something you just can’t live without but you look at the price tag and it’s too much or you realize your closet just can’t fit another thing in there? It happens. Sometimes we eventually get over it, sometimes we never do. But either way, we’re going to talk about the one that got away.
Insta Shop
Everyone loves Instagram because it makes us all feel like a talented photographer (and now videographer), you get to show everyone the cool parties you go to and you also get to stalk people in a whole new way (Facebook stalking is so 4 years ago). But because these are really the only things you can do on Instagram, other smart people have found new ways to utilize Instagram to do some cool things. And Keep is one of them.
Because Fashion Is Fun
Fashion people can take themselves way too seriously. At the end of the day, it’s just clothes. Maybe some accessories, always some killer shoes. But 1991 Inc is reminding us that fashion is fun and being weird is totally acceptable.
Don’t cry Kim, Anna gives everyone that look…
To Invest Or Not To Invest
To Invest Or Not To Invest…that is the real question, and the answer is not as easy as one might think. Everyone says “splurge on black pumps a nice blazer, save on trendy items” but of course fashion likes to be difficult and you have to read between the lines. If we actually followed the typical investment rule, no one would be spending $700 on wedge sneakers (and yes I will continue to hate on this trend as long as I have to…and I will not apologize).
So what items should we put a decent amount of money towards? Think of me as your fashion financial advisor (except one who is really bad at math and happens to have expensive taste).
Shop My Closet On Vaunte
So I’ve had my eye on this website for a while (and by a while I mean since they launched in November, so really not that long) and it’s a pretty cool idea. Think Gilt meets online luxury consignment meets The Coveteur…oh and the New York Times is a fan. All good stuff, right?
Vaunte is the brainchild of Gilt’s former VP of Creative (and one of the original Gilt team members), Leah Park, and Gilt’s former VP of Marketing and Brand Relations, Christian Leone. And if you’ve ever read By Invitation Only, you know Gilt gets the best talent.
But enough about Gilt, and more about Vaunte.
