If You Want to Improve Your Style, Give It a Name
Hello You! It may sound funny, but the truth is that the quest to improve your style and make it more authentic doesn’t start with the clothes you wear, but with a full and enlightened perception of who you are or the things you like. We confuse fashion consumption with style, and perhaps that’s exactly why we’re dissatisfied with what we wear. Our dream is for someone to give us the protagonist’s “makeover,” take us shopping, and change our entire wardrobe (hello, “The Princess Diaries”!). But what about when Mia needs to buy something for herself? Will she really know how to continue this revolution that was created solely from…

7 Tips to Keep in Mind When Thrifting
Hello Posh Squad, I’ve been a thrift fashion consumer for many years. But I confess that it was from mid-2021 that I started buying more consciously. Thrift store shopping takes patience and self-control, but you can find some of the best items at consignment shops like your local Goodwill store or the Salvation Army. There’s a strategy to becoming an efficient thrifter, and if you do it often enough, you can end up with great finds at much lower prices than you would at a standard retail store. I bought some pieces during the year that I would never find in stores, first because they are no longer available, second…

7 Reasons To Buy At Thrift Stores
Buying at thrift stores is a practice that is becoming more popular every day. This habit has even become popular, since several celebrities began to be present at gala events wearing second-hand costumes. As an example, we can mention Gisele Bündchen herself, who at the Met Gala 2023, bet on a vintage look to cross the red carpet. However, very different from what some people imagine, thrift stores were not created recently. On the contrary: the exchange of used clothes is very old and, according to historians, has been happening since 1900, when the population of the suburbs of Paris, in the Saint Ouen region, was adept at the famous…

4 Reasons Why Basics Are An Important Part Of Your Closet
Hello Posh Squad, When working with clients or helping friends, I emphasize the importance of including a healthy mix of basics, in addition to statement pieces, into their wardrobes. What are wardrobe basics, anyway? Basics are those items that can serve many purposes and are a great foundation for dressing well. Examples include a great pair of jeans, black dress pants, button down shirts, shells, tanks, t-shirts, and more. They are often understated and can either play the background or take center stage — depending on the outfit. What’s the right mix of basics and statement pieces? The ratio of basics to statement pieces will be different for every woman,…

Fashion & Lifestyle
Many people question this and ask us if it would be just one thing. And the answer is: no. It’s not the same thing and I’m here to explain the difference between them. Fashion is a clothing trend determined at a time and reflects the behavior of society within the contexts in which it is inserted. Style is a set of factors, such as our personality, influences, beliefs, experiences and everything else that concerns our essence. It is he who guarantees a more consistent look, respecting who we are, which brings a deeper bias. This is one of the big differences between fashion and style! Fashion walks with the collective,…
