Being one of largest online thrift store, ThreadUp offers a large variety of styles and options to browser through. While I personally think that some of their luxury items are overpriced and can be found at a better value elsewhere, great deals can be found with the designer and contemporary brands they consign. They generally end up having huge stock from brands like Free People, MADEWELL, Lululemon and the such. And many pieces are new with tags. Ultimately, it's a wonderful place to shop secondhand and way more organized than most traditional thrift shops I frequent. That's why I was excited to hear that they recently partnered with Rent The Runway to help them recycle their clothing.
I'm a HUGE propionate of buying used and I do that all the time through sites like Poshmark and Fashionsphile. But for this blog, we are going to narrow in on how to save when buying new.

I will share exactly how I saved almost 25% on a new pair of Christan Louboutin heels and Saint Laurent bag. But first, let's cover some savvy shopper's basics.

And to my surprise, my blog has actually grown quite a bit during my prolonged absence (Thank you!)
As I ballonever closer to my due date, Ive noticed that there are a few things that actually bother me. Things have been relativity smooth going for us and it has been wonderful. But when things do tick me off, boy, do they tick me OFF. For me personally, it's been forced human interaction. Much love to all my friends, but no, I don't want to spend hours hanging out. I want to stretch my body and then eat a pint of ice cream..
