summer 2018 style picks (& polyvore alternatives)

Tunic: SZ Blockprints (similar here). Watch: Skagen. Passport case: Smythson (similar here). Sunglasses: Ray-Ban. Scarf: Tory Burch. Jeans: J.Crew (similar here). Sandals: Pelle Moda. Bikini: J.Crew. Bag: Rag & Bone (similar here).

I had an idea to make a post on some of my favorite items for summer. I went to go create a new collage in Polyvore, a fashion-geared collage website I’ve adored since high school, only to find that it was just purchased by online retailer SSENSE and now serves as such.

All of my work over the past 10+ years is gone. I don’t mind losing the work so much as I never really went back to reference them. I just don’t know what else could compare to the UI/UX of Polyvore – with it’s extensive library of fashion, beauty, and home products to editorialize.

For now, I am using ShopLook, who has been gracious enough to absorb the Polyfam and has promised to add more features & items to emulate Polyvore in the coming months. I also signed up for ChicVore, which I am excited to learn more about when it launches.

The collage I made above was using ShopLook. This summer, I am inspired by the idea of traveling to Europe, particularly the Mediterranean shores. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
