![]() ![]() ![]() I wasn't going out anymore so what was the point in having a closet full of dresses? Besides, I'd tire of each piece after maybe three wears and it would rot in the back of my closet. Eventually, I just sold everything or dropped it off at The Salvation Army for someone to gleefully discover. Alexander McQueen for under $150? What a find! So, I kept shopping and buying with the plan to resell the items for a profit, but that never happened. I was able to justify it because I was gainfully employed, going out often, and um. Many of you may disagree with my rationale here and that's OK, but pre-pandemic I was out and about all the time and I bought new-to-me dresses and accessories off designer resale sites at least twice a month. If you splurge on the 8 or 16 items per month plan, you get instant access to top designers and pieces that can retail for over $2,000 each. In the next section, I'll talk about the very high resale price of their items, but right now I want to discuss how affordable I think it is to rent clothing from RTR. They will ship it to your hotel or resort and then you can ship it back when you're about to head home. Once you're finished, simply seal them back up in the bag they arrived in, affix the return label, and send back to RTR! And what's even better, if you're going on vacation, you don't even need to worry about packing and lugging your RTR items with you. While we were all stuck home for a bit during the pandemic, once the world started opening up, RTR made "shopping" so easy! You hop online or get on the app, heart your favorite items, add them to your bag, and then sit back and wait for their arrival. But honestly, RTR's long list of designers (in the hundreds) makes you feel like you're sitting front row at New York Fashion Week, and instead of wishing you could afford what's sashaying past you on the runway, you can hop online and try it for yourself. You can find almost everyone and everything at RTR, aside from the top-tier luxury brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes. When I started reviewing for RTR, I couldn't believe I suddenly had access to designers like Monse, Khaite, RED Valentino, and Rosetta Getty. Since its launch in 2009, RTR has gone through many iterations, some of which were the result of the pandemic, and now it's also a sustainable resale platform where shoppers can rent, buy, or subscribe to secondhand clothing. Rent the Runway is a clothing rental company, but it was the first clothing subscription platform that provided the everyday woman with access to authentic, luxury fashion. Maybe next week I'll tell you some of their secrets. Well, instead of snagging a job at RTR, I worked as a copywriter at Victoria's Secret for about a year and a half, and I always wanted VS on my resume too. So, as you can tell, I've been one of their biggest fans, and working for their corporation would've been a dream come true. I'm going through Gmail right now and here is a screenshot of some of the ideas I had brainstormed for them in 2012. I applied and got denied and was crushed, and even gave them ideas for free. Just how obsessed I was with this company back then. I hopped on the bandwagon as soon as they launched in 2009, but now that they've been around for 13 years and they're a publicly-traded company, it's surprising how many women ask about my outfits and have never heard of RTR.īut you know what I also find odd. If you only see email Google marks important, you constantly know you’re missing things and need to go digging in the ‘unimportant’ email.Since I'm waiting for my next shipment to unlock, let's discuss Rent the Runway! You know what I find odd? How many people still haven't heard of Rent the Runway. If you archive an email, suddenly you can’t find it. ![]() Part of the problem with previous approaches is that they force users into these fixed views of their inbox. Instead of relying on Google’s built-in views, Kiwi’s new inbox is built around a new “Today View” and Google’s AI for important flags for messages. They are launching a “Focus Filtered Inbox” for Gmail. Today, Kiwi for Gmail is rolling out a new feature to help users stay on top of their email and keep it from being overwhelming. If you use Gmail on macOS, you need an app like Kiwi. Gmail could be set as your default email client, used as a macOS share extension, use global keyboard shortcuts, and have one-click access to Google Drive. In previous versions of Kiwi, you got the best of both worlds. Using an app like Kiwi for Gmail, you can get the benefits of using the Gmail interface (along with Google Drive and its apps) with Mac hardware. One of the downsides to using Gmail in a Chrome or Safari window is you miss out on a lot of benefits of using a native email app. There are a lot of people I talk with that love Apple hardware, but also love Google services (especially Gmail). ![]()
