Octer.com Makes Multiple Platform Shopping Easier

Octer.com first launched in the UK back in December 2014, as a mobile app. It has since expanded into a website, thus, making it easier for consumers to shop from multiple stores from the comfort of their phone, tablet, and computer.

There are multiple categories, ranging from womenswear, menswear, children’s wear, plus-size, to home, electronics, and furniture. You can shop from a large variety of US and UK based retailers, such as: Farfetch, Macy’s, Topshop, TJ Maxx, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Nasty Gal, and Miss Selfridge.

The website has been very user friendly, from my observation. You must create an account in order to save items and shop. As you can see from the screenshot above, you can choose from a variety of categories and sub-categories (in this case, I chose ‘women’).

Then I went to the women’s dresses and skirts.  I saw that there was a plethora of options to choose from. Octer makes it super-easy to choose your outfit for any occasion or silhouette.

I was also able to go into the women’s handbags category, and select which stores I’d like to see handbags from. I chose Nasty Gal and Neiman Marcus. The handbags you see are only from those select stores.

You can also see that Octer.com also carries other products for everyday life, besides fashion. I love the fact that I can buy pretty much whatever I want (including furniture), not only from US shops, but even in the UK! It’s pretty amazing what technology can do these days.

GoldenRags – "A Modern Twist on Vintage Rags"

Tamara B. has always loved clothes and thrifting. The blogger and entrepreneur enjoys thrifting clothing from a variety of decades- particularly those of the 80s and 90s, but sometimes can’t fit the styles. So back in 2013, she officially launched GoldenRags, an online vintage shop that has since been her creative outfit so that she can style the clothes and mix-n-match with current styles that are around today. On why she chose the name ‘goldenrags,’ she recalls, “I thought it was a cool play on names, because when you think of vintage, it’s very golden, but some people think of them as being rags. So it’s just sort of a play on the two opposites.”

When asked what sets them apart from the myriad of online vintage sellers, Tamara responds, “We work with the styles that are around today. So it’s not for the girl that necessarily wants to look like she stepped out of the 70s…It’s for the girl that likes a little bit of vintage…We also have pieces for the people that do want to dress for a particular decade. But we cater to modern vintage… Our tagline is a ‘modern twist on vintage rags.'”

While I was in LA, they happened to have had a pop-up shop at the DTLA Arts District Co-Op building. There were two racks with Tamara’s eclectic and colorful finds. She credits one of her more ‘better finds’ to a funky 80s acid-wash denim jacket with sequins and embroidery; which was dutifully styled on the mannequin. Among some of my favorites from the pop-up were: a black and white woven vest, a floral print peplum dress, a Southwest style striped vest, a pastel floral romper, a jewels and chains printed dress, an Aztec-style print tee and lastly- a Bart Simpson tee.

Their prices are also affordable, ranging from $5 to $100. You can find and shop GoldenRags ONLINE, INSTAGRAM and also a various flea markets and pop-up shops.
