ebay & the realreal

my top sites for secondhand shopping!!! i am truly obsessed with them, it is like hunting for treasure. i also like browsing depop, etsy, and vestiare, though i only have a handful of items from those in my wardrobe. i hear good things about vinted and medium things about grailed but i havent spent any time w those. i dont really use poshmark but it is massive. also check out the app called gem, it will check all these sites and more to find any keywords that you enter and email you a list of new items matching your query!

Grailed, SSENSE

I have a love/hate relationship with Grailed. Even so, the few articles of clothing I’ve bought this year so far have been off there. A majority of my clothes (including designer) are second hand. Not all are bought from Grailed; lets say I’m looking for a nice pair of chelsea boots from Loake or The Kooples, I’m not going to find those looking at my Goodwill, they’ll be on Grailed. Only thing I bought from SSENSE this year was new eau de parfum.

Gem.app

An aggregate search for vintage clothes. Pulls from Ebay, Etsy, Real Real, Poshmark, Grailed, possibly others, but i see those the most frequently. All through one search, one website (there's an app as well). The filters work well and you can set alerts. It's amazing.

Anti Rec: Everything as a subscription

Everything in your life does not have to be subscription based, and subscription does not equate a service being good. If I’m paying $24.99 a month to watch Netflix in 4K UHD, I should expect to see what I pay for, not subpar playback latency, low bitrate streams, many app crashes, and overall looking terrible on anything that isn’t a 4K display. Remember when you could buy things and own them, like, forever? There is a better world out there past Netflix, Hulu, Spotify and Amazon Prime.

keeping things to yourself

You don’t have to tell everyone everything in/about your life, especially online, in today’s online yet frequently data-breached world. Like the great Christopher Wallace once said: Keep your family and business completely separated

Allbirds shoes

I have a near-Biblical dislike of Allbirds shoes and every other Tim Cook Jeff Bezos Middle-aged Balding Pickleball coach ass shoe out there for convincing the public that these were in any way cool. No dude, you look like a loser with these. They look bland and lifeless, like they were concocted in the same boardroom that made the flat graphic design trend that Meta and Google love so much. Hell, even notorious ip-infringer Skechers makes better looking shoes than these. They don’t even feel good to wear. They have no soul or personality and yet some people swear by them. Who are these shoes for?
