App Discoveries: Poshmark

I've recently discovered something that we can all use.
SOMETHING THAT MAKES US SOME MONEY, and cleans out our closet at the same time!

Okay, so here's the deal..

There's an app called Poshmark. Basically, it's the coolest thing ever. 
What you do, is take a picture of an item that you want to sell : items can be brand new with tags, or used and in good condition. You list the price you want to sell it for, give a description of the item, and a couple other little details like size and what-not.
Here's the best part. You list it in your "closet", and people can buy it! ( You can buy products from other people's closets as well!)The app sends you an email when the item gets purchased with a prepaid shipping label, which you attach to a box. They tell you in their FAQ's to use priority mail boxes from the post office, because they're free! Then, the money you earn from the purchase can either be sent to you in a check, or directly deposited into an account. 

It's literally that simple. I'm in love. I have so many things that I've never worn, but someone else could get good use out of! 

I'm not being sponsored or anything to write this. I just really think it's a great idea to make some extra cash, while getting rid of stuff you'll  never wear! If you join the site, and use my code, you'll get a $5 credit towards any item you want. Enter code HXVCC when prompted, and the $5 is yours!

So far, I've sold a dress, a shirt, and a pair of oxfords. 
Let me know if you guys try this, or make any money!
Until then, 
-K.

Out with the old, up with the new.

My name is Kristen. 

I am a 20 year old fashion merchandising student from New York. 

I'm on a journey, and I'm deciding to document it.

And, I'm inviting you with me. 

This blog is going to consist of fashion, beauty, home&decor and random posts about my upcoming move.

Hopefully, it will be helpful and offer advice to anyone who is at the same stage, or anyone just looking for a place to relax. I love learning from other people. Learning about style, learning that there is a difference in styles between states, or even just towns. Tips and tricks about beauty, from hair to makeup and skincare.

I have love for all things fashion, as I said above I'm a student in the fashion industry. I will be moving from my comfort zone to a whole new world in a state that is hours away from here. It's going to be wild. Not in the stereotypical college crazy wild definition. Wild in the context of being new, and a new outer body experience.

I find comfort in knowing that there are people out there who are just as stressed with finals, projects, and pressure as I am. Not that I would wish anyone stress, it's just nice to know that you're not alone in this world. It's big, and it's scary.

As time goes on, so do we. Every day is something different. We work, we play, we love, and we continue. 

I hope you all enjoy this ride. 

Until then, 

- K.
