First Worldwide Mobile Pop Up Shop

Fashionistas, check out the press release for this amazing opportunity! My good friends at GRETCHY have teamed up with STYLISH GIRL to create the first ever worldwide mobile pop-up shop for the iPhone! It opens up tomorrow (July 30th) at 12 Noon EST. Be sure to check it out, read all the fabulous details below!

Toronto-based STYLISH GIRL [http://www.stylishandcool.com], virtual closet and fashion shopping app, is excited to be partnering with Columbus, OH based GRETCHY [http://www.gretchy.com], members-only online retailer for discounted designer dresses and “trade ins”. “STYLISH GIRL + GRETCHY” opens its pop up shop doors on July 30th, 2011 at 12 noon EST to a worldwide market via the iPhone . The 36 hour sale will feature limited quantity, current season, designer dresses for sample sale prices by favorite designer brands like Diane Von Furstenberg, Emilio Pucci, Herve Leger, M Missoni, Elizabeth & James, and 3.1 Phillip Lim.


STYLISH GIRL + GRETCHY has leveraged the STYLISH GIRL virtual closet platform in a way that will definitely please! DDN Media’s Dimitar Popovski, STYLISH GIRL Co-Founder, says, "We received tons of emails from users telling us how they cannot wake up in the morning without checking the [STYLISH GIRL] app to see what outfit they will wear…a large portion of the users are heavily involved in seeing what is in the stores, making outfits and buying items online." Where STYLISH GIRL users catalogue their wardrobes via their iPhone, iTouch or iPad, GRETCHY members ”trade in” dresses in order to refresh their wardrobes. Gretchen Hackmann, GRETCHY Co-Founder, explains, “Our members can essentially build their own cash account to buy new dresses on GRETCHY by trading in dresses they will no longer wear. STYLISH GIRL + GRETCHY will now further enable our members to visualize their dresses via iPhone, decide what new dresses they need to buy, and which dresses to trade in!” As Britt Hackmann, GRETCHY Co-founder, puts it, “Today’s fashion is all about maximizing the ROI on the clothes that you own and the clothes that you need to buy.”

Hello, fashionistas! I am overjoyed to tell you all about the fabulous event that is taking place TONIGHT called "Miss Glamour Giirl's Want It Wednesday!" (I previewed the event here last week in case you missed it: Fab-YOU-lous: Want it Wednesday EVENT!), but many more details have fallen into place since then.


This fabulous event will be tonight, Wednesday October 20th, from 6:00-7:30 PM at Babson College in the Reynolds Back Dining Room!

The event is sponsored by Babson's Luxury & Fashion Association! Here are all the details from the LFA invite: Babson alumni Gretchen and Britt Hackmann, founders of Gretchy.com, have teamed up with Fashion Blogger - Miss Glamour Giirl - and Boutique Week founder - Polina Raygorodskaya, another Babson alumn - to put together a "Live Blog Event" Wednesday, October 20th 6-7:30pm in Reynolds Back Dining Room. GRETCHY (www.gretchy.com) – is a fashion e-tailing business that sells dresses by top designers at 50-75% off retail prices and allows the flexibility for girls to sell their dresses back to them.  Miss Glamour Giirl Blogger (http://www.missglamourgiirl.blogspot.com), Annie Maraschiello, a Babson student, writes weekly about all things fashion including "Manly Monday", "Want It Wednesday", and "Fabulous Friday Finds". Boutique Week (http://www.boutiqueweek.net), is a semi-annual national PR event for boutiques that is debuting on October 24. Boutique Week gives customers the ultimate shopping experience all week long by promoting retailers to increase foot traffic and sales!

Want it Wednesday EVENT!

Hello, fashionistas! This Want it Wednesday is more fabulous than ever because I have a HUGE exciting announcement to make- I will be teaming up with GRETCHY for a fashion event at Babson College! All are welcome to come by to mingle and check out the fabulous designer dresses, which will all be provided by GRETCHY and are available for purchase.

In case you haven't already heard about this amazing company, GRETCHY is a fabulous new business that allows you to purchase designer dresses at discounted prices! But wait, it gets even better- You can't go to a party or event wearing the same dress! Not to fear- when you are done with a dress, you can trade it back in to GRETCHY- if you want! How fabulous is that?!

GRETCHY is more than just a website where you can purchase dresses, it is a community of fabulous fashionistas. You can earn rewards and GRETCHY cash whenever you are active on the site (by inviting friends, trading in dresses, buying a new dress, or commenting, posting a picture, or rating a dress).
