Fashion blogger and darling Posher – Dhuvri of Stilettos & Sequins – loves to share her passion for style. With NYFW behind us, we’re so excited that she’s taking over the blog today to discuss which trends were hot on the runway this year.

If you’re eager to try out a new look, check out Dhuvri’s host picks at tonight’s Street Style Posh Party!

Hi, Poshers!

In this OOTD, I’ve put together an outfit incorporating two of my favorite AW14 trends – gold, red and an absolute staple – leopard. Burgundy is one of my favorite colors to pair with gold. I know some of us are sick of this cold weather, but the fact remains – Winter is my favorite season of the year.

I am so excited to be guest blogging for Poshmark today, and I’m even more thrilled about hosting my first Posh Party tonight – I hope you’ll join
me! Since New York Fashion Week AW14 shows just ended, I thought it would be the perfect time to talk about the top five trends on the AW14 runways:

Checker Print: Whether it’s plaid, gingham, tartan or windowpane, checker prints have been having quite the moment this Fall/Winter, and they are back for Round 2! I’ve worn my share of checker prints on my blog, and I can’t wait to rock more!

Fur: While fur has been a Fall/Winter staple, the AW14 runways were all
about fur in some awesome colors and furry accents.

Gold: Dying, you guys! Designers definitely went for gold for AW14, and
I’m not complaining – I love me some gold! Whether it’s a little or a lot,
don’t be afraid to rock gold!

Red: A bit of a surprise, huh? Bright reds to burgundies, NYFW was
definitely in the red zone!

White: Over the past couple years, designers have been consistently breaking the “No white after Labor Day” rule, and I couldn’t be
happier. I love white, and I’m not gonna stop wearing it … ever!

Are you excited for these trends? What is your favorite?

Up Close & Stylish with Liz of Dear Andi

December 17, 2013August 13, 2014Community, Influencer Spotlight, Posh Party Preview, StyleLeave a Comment

Whether she’s outfitting Mike Tyson or listing from her droolworthy professional styling closet, Liz of Dear Andi definitely knows how to mix business with a passion for fashion. In today’s “Up Closet and Stylish,” this New York stylist and power Posher will share her awe for Joan Rivers, why she loves Poshmark and so much more!

If you’re loving Liz’s style, don’t miss out on her host picks at our Total Trendsetter Posh Party tonight. Until then, browse and shop her closet for a little trend-filled peek!

1. What are your must-have items in your closet?
I tend to dress in layers because I ever know how hot or cold I will be when working on photoshoots, so good quality tees like James Perse, tons of well tailored blazers from Rag & Bone, and jeans like J.Brand that wear well without giving me “saggy butt.”

2. If you could splurge on 3 pieces, what would they be and why?

A great handbag because that’s basically my office and the first thing clients notice when I meet them, boots because they will last for years if taken care of and fabulous heels that make a statement even when wearing inexpensive pieces.

3. How has Poshmark helped with your styling business?

I have way too much in my closet and my styling kit – from things that can’t be returned from shoots to items gifted from events – so Poshmark has helped me make room by allowing me to sell items that have only been used once or not at all.

4. Who is your favorite person you have ever styled?

That’s a tough one. I had so much fun styling bloggers like Helena of Brooklyn Blonde and Jordan of Ramshackle Glam for TJMaxx because I had the challenge of staying within their distinct personal styles and covering the trends for the brand. Mike Tyson was another favorite because he liked how I styled him so much that he left with the outfit!

5. If you could have lunch with one celebrity, who would it be any why?

Joan Rivers. I met her recently at an event and was speechless. I don’t usually get starstruck. Being a Gemini, I’m usually a talker, but I could barely get a sentence out. She’s had quite a life and has done it all. We even have similar backgrounds, growing up as Jewish girls from NY, working in advertising and fashion. I’d love to pick her brain and see how she’s still doing it all while looking great at her age.

6. What is your fashion rule of thumb when it comes to trends?

Don’t be a slave to them and always make them your own.

7. How long have you been a stylist? What’s your favorite part about it?

I started out as an art director working on ads you may have seen in magazines and on cabs, but my favorite part of the job was coming up with the look that told a story and briefing the stylist for the photoshoot. It was a natural transition, and about seven years later I love that every day I’m doing what I love!

8. Do your Poshmark listings come from your personal closet or styling sessions?

Both. Between my lifestyle and advice blog, Dear Andi, and working in fashion, I need to constantly keep my wardrobe fresh. I also have way too much in my styling closet (yes, I have a separate closet just for that).

9. How do you describe your personal style?

I guess living in Brooklyn influences me a great deal, so I’m definitely downtown, laid back and a bit of 70’s bohemian. Everything I wear always has to have some sort of an edge to it – whether it’s through a black leather detail or chunky jewelry.

10. What is your go-to outfit for the fast approaching holidays?

Lots of black with a little sparkle. Lately I’ve been throwing on a sparkly vintage Givenchy sweater over a simple outfit for holiday parties because it’s easy and always a big hit.

Steal Her Style: Miley Cyrus VMA Outfit

September 4, 2013August 13, 2014Influencer Spotlight, StyleLeave a Comment

Talented singer, Buzznet writer, and power Posher Jessica (can we say triple threat?) is taking over the Poshmark blog to share her own take on Miley’s VMA outfit and how you can get this rockstar look for less than $100! If you are absolutely loving Jessica’s style tips, check out her fashion picks tomorrow night as she hosts the Edgy & Boho Babe Posh Party!

Ready, set, style!

With over 45,000 tweets a MINUTE about Miley Cyrus, I find it only fitting to talk about her AMAZING style transformation. Miley’s controversial VMA outfit has been on the minds of many since the awards aired on August 25th.

Unfortunately, the majority of the public has decided this is not an acceptable outfit. So I decided to recreate a more wearable version of the “We Can’t Stop” star’s revealing nude outfit in a more conventional and practical way!

And honestly, her choice of shoes was AMAZING! Who doesn’t love flatform creepers?! Pair this with some red lipstick, and you can have the entire look for under $100:

Nude High Neck Crop Top: $10 Retail $30

Black Pleather Hot Shorts: $18 Retail $55

Black Studded Flatform Creepers: $25 Retail $49

Gold Heart Necklace: $4

Rock on, Poshers!

Host Feature: Lucy of Daily Disguise

July 23, 2013August 12, 2014Influencer Spotlight, StyleLeave a Comment

Not only is Lucy of Daily Disguise a local fashion blogger and an all-around cutie, she is a power Poshmark user and our host for tonight’s Posh Party! Without a doubt, we wanted to get up close and personal with her views on fashion, Zooey Deschanel, and of course, Poshmark!

1. Where did you get the idea to start your blog? What does your blog title mean?

I started my blog because I had just finished Law School, and with plenty of time on my hands and an overflowing closet, I determined to find better, more efficient ways to wear clothes that I already owned (and hopefully shop a little less). Eventually my blog transitioned from daily outfits into guides to help people wear items more than once, in creatively stylish ways, and thus my ‘5 Ways To Wear’ series were born. My blog title, Daily Disguise, just represents the day to day outfits that we meticulously plan every morning, our daily disguises.

2. How did you find out about Poshmark and when did you know you were addicted?

I found out about Poshmark through my good blogger friend, Sarah from The Weekend Diary, and realized I was addicted when each of my listings started getting shared and eventually sold quickly; I felt as if I was running my own little shop with customers and clients to satisfy.

3. If you could raid any ones closet who would it be and why?

Hands down, Zooey Deschanel; her style is so effortless, yet girly and edgy at the same time.

4. Your blog photos (and Covershots!) are absolutely stunning- who takes your photos for you and what tips would you have for other Poshmarkers?

My amazing boyfriend, Andrew. I first started off trying to take my own photos, but looking back on it now my current photos are a world of difference from my self-shot ones. If you don’t have someone to take your photos for you, my best suggestion is networking with some fellow Poshmarkers and bloggers and take each other’s photos; you’ll be able to capture angles and compose your picture in ways you wouldn’t be able to do yourself.

5. Why do you love Poshmark?

It’s an amazing way to effectively recycle and refresh my closet. Shopping other people’s closets is slightly addicting, too.

6. If the President of the United States was a designer, who would you elect as the leader of the most fashionable country?

Alexander Wang 2016.

7. What is your favorite summer trend?

Lucite! Clear heels, shoes, bags, you name it. Plus it sounds like my name!

Meet Pamela: a rockstar Poshmarker from Seattle who loves to shop.

Whether it’s on Poshmark, at Nordstrom’s flagship store, or a variety of local boutiques, she’s all about it! If you peek into her closet, you’d find a whole lot of black, but Pam uses these pieces to achieve three signature styles: “clean and classy with an edge”, “drippy drapey” a la Rick Owens or Alexander Wang, or boho… and she totally rocks these well.

You can catch her Poshmarking anywhere from the road in her car (in the passenger seat, of course), in bed, on break at work, and even while shopping! Read on to see what else she has to say about her love for Poshmark and so much more!

Poshmark (PM): Why do you love Poshmark?

Pamela (P): There’s so many reasons I love Poshmark. One, it’s given me a reason not to let my closet go haywire. I can actually maintain my closet now. It’s a bit more manageable than it was last year before I started using the app. Two, I love stumbling across items I have missed in store or I am currently obsessing about, but know the fiancé would freak if I purchased that item at retail value. Lol. Three, it’s given me the opportunity to build new friendships with ladies who are just as obsessed with fashion as I am. And four, I get to see first hand how lovely people can be. I see closets on Poshmark that actually donate the earnings they receive to charities. I just think that’s fantastic!

PM: What was your favorite Poshmark purchase?

P: My Alexander Wang Rocco with all black hardware for $450! That was such a steal!

PM: As an amazing Poshmarker, what are some tips and tricks you would give to new community members?

P: Covershot and description are everything! Always make sure the pictures are clear and thoroughly describe the item. Don’t describe the items as “pink shirt” or “black shoes” Look at it this way, would you buy something at an online shop that describes items in that manner. Also, SHARE, SHARE, SHARE! Share your items and share others. I know some ladies have shared my items and out of curiosity I’d start filtering through their closets and I’d find items that I would end up purchasing. Make sure to play nice; this is like owning your own shop. Ladies remember who wasn’t easy or nice to work with. Just like that 100 other Poshers know about you—and not in a good way. Finally, just have fun! This app was made to sell and buy and build new friendships!

See Pam talk more about Poshmark in this YouTube video and be sure to drop in tonight at 7pm PST as she hosts the Street Style Posh Party!
