I had a blast at the recent Macy’s Men’s Style event in San Francisco last week and I am excited to share that there is another fashion event coming up this Thursday! Macy’s flagship store in Union Square will be hosting a Rachel Roy shopping party where you can shop the limited edition RACHEL Rachel Roy collection featuring artwork by graffiti artist and legend SenOne.
Macy’s Union Square SF – Impulse 3rd FloorThursday, November 10th, 6:00 PM
You’ll be able to meet SenOne and learn the techniques of graffiti art. As a bonus, with any $100 RACHEL Rachel Roy purchase, you’ll receive a cosmetics bag that you’ll be able to personalize together with SenOne! There will be bites, bubbles and music, so come hang out this Thursday, November 10th.
I shared some photos from last week’s event on Twitter in case you want to see what these events are like (and want a peak at some the bites I enjoyed!) For more information on the Rachel Roy event visit: http://bit.ly/RachelRoyFall16

6 Items to List on Poshmark
I try to edit my closet throughout the year, but the beginning of the year feels like a great time to clean out all the excess and unworn items in my closet. After all, a new year is the opportunity for a new you. My favorite place to sell has been on Poshmark and if you are in the mood to start cleaning out your closet, but don’t know where to start, here are 6 items you can get rid of now! Your closet and wallet will thank you. If you haven’t downloaded the app, get it here and use my referral code HAEWR for $10 credit to use on your next purchase since you’ll have made plenty of room to treat yourself with after selling your unworn items!
Here are 6 items you can get rid of from your closet now:
1. The Party Dress: The dress you bought on sale to wear to a Holiday or New Year’s Eve Party, but ended up not wearing because it was too cold or because you stayed home. Let it go so it can actually be worn by someone else to a wedding, bachelorette party or for Girls Night Out.
BCBG MaxAzria Merlot Dress: Shop hereDVF Treenie Metallic Dress: Shop here
2. Shoes that Don’t Fit: I don’t believe I am the only one guilty of buying designer shoes just because the price was right. Instead of letting your bad investment collect dust in your closet, list them to buy shoes that actually fit! Bonus points if they have a dust bag or their original box!
Jimmy Choo d’Orsay Champagne Heels: Shop here
3. Clothes that Don’t Fit: It should go without saying that buying any clothes that are not your size will result in regret, even if it is a designer item. To remove the most bulk from your closet, try listing jackets, coats or sweaters you are not wearing anymore so they can sell quickly for the current season.
Marc Jacobs Coat: Shop here
4. Accessories: When I love something, I might buy it in every color if I get the chance, and that is really easy to do with accessories. I start thinking that the pieces I buy will become part of my “uniform,” but the idea doesn’t go as planned and I end up sticking to one color and forgetting about the rest. Sell the accessories you have been holding on to, but haven’t worn, and make room for different pieces.
Forever 21 Glitter Scarf: Shop Silver version hereForever 21 Glitter Scarf : Shop Black version here5. An Item That is New with Tags: I have definitely been guilty of buying something with the intention to use it, and later changing my mind and being unable to return it. I am pretty sure I am not the only one guilty of having something hang around in my closet only because it is still brand new. If something has been in your closet with tags on it for more than 3 months, it might be time to list it. Seller Tip: When listing an item New With tags, make sure to select Yes, but don’t hit the New With Tags Retail button. New With Tags Retail is meant to identify items that are from a wholesaler and items were never tagged like typical stores do.
Kate Spade Bubble Over Coin Purse: Shop here6. Jewelry: If a statement necklace or pair of earrings you received over the holidays doesn’t fit your style, sell it instead of letting it get scratched up in your jewelry box. Or if you have jewelry from an ex boyfriend, it might be easier to part with that jewelry in exchange for some extra cash. The best thing about these items is that they tend to be one size fits all, like accessories, which is great for getting more traffic to your closet!
Kate Spade Tres Chic Earrings: Shop here
After you have some of the these items up on the app, share share share and you’ll be making some extra cash in no time. I hope you this list is helpful in getting you started on Poshmark, or helpful in identifying what to list next. I would love to see your closet and what you’ve listed so I can share your items, so please tag me @willbakeforshoe on the app or share your closet link in a comment for this post!
I’ll be sharing more Poshmark tips in the next few months, so make sure to follow me on Bloglovin and feel free to ask me any questions about the app!

Watercolors
Black Trench Coat Luii | Watercolor Print Dress BYER California | Pink Bow Leather Belt Kate Spade | Navy Suede Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden | Cliff Gray Cedar Street Maise Purse Kate Spade (here) | Bow Bracelets Forever 21 | Jackie Oh II Sunglasses Ray-Ban (here) | Le Rouge 205 Fuchsia Irrestible Lipstick Givenchy (here) | This is my second time wearing this colorful dress that I picked up a BYER CA a few months ago, but I have no photos documenting the first time I wore this. I styled it with a long black cardigan, pink suede flats and used the braided belt that came with the dress, but I made some changes in how I wore it for this occasion. I found the belt at the Kate Spade outlet store when I visited the BYER California Outlet store. Of course, I had to wear my new bag, which has been my latest obsession as of late.
I love the watercolor brush stroke print, and the bright colors. I feel like I’ve leaned towards “light” dresses with bold prints lately, and it is such a difference from the typical dark outfits I used to wear. I think about how much my style has evolved and it has definitely gravitated to pieces I can wear more than once and statement making pieces.
I am happy to announce there is another BYER California store opening at the Napa Premium Outlets this weekend. There will be plenty of deals and Instagram contests going on to help you earn store credit. I encourage you to visit and to share the promo below since you can enjoy 50% off your purchase $50 or more through Sunday, October 11th.
I didn’t see the dress I am wearing listed on the website, but maybe it will be in store? I’ll be stopping by to check in the new spot and to take advantage of the sweet deals going on this weekend. Follow me on Instagram to see what I find!
