How to Dress for Your Proportions This Fall: Skirts, Layers, and Loafers
Fall is officially here (even in LA), and this month's solo episode is all about getting dressed for it. I'm answering your questions on everything from figuring out your proportions to finding the right skirt for your body, plus how I stay warm without feeling like a marshmallow. We start with proportions: the simple at-home test I use to understand my torso, why getting your measurements taken will change your life, and why I think we should reframe proportions as balance. From there, we get into my undying love for the skirt, inspired by Mrs. Prada's all-skirt collection at Milan Fashion Week, and how to find the one that works for you. I also share my smartest layering tricks for fall and winter, my go-to loafers and boots, why I've been ignoring trends and paying attention to styling instead, and the outfit formulas I lean on for a fall or winter cocktail party. Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/8453148 My skirt edit on Substack In this episode, we get into: How to figure out your proportions, and why I think of them as balance The two-hands test for finding your torso length How to find the right skirt for your body and personal style How I've been finding so many great skirts at Zara How to stay warm without bulk, and why fabric matters more than layering more Why Uniqlo Heattech has saved me every winter My go-to fall shoes: G.H. Bass, Scarosso, Dear Frances, and the Staud Wally boot Why I'm focusing on styling over trends this season What to wear to a fall or winter cocktail party Thanks to @pura for partnering on this episode — choose your Scents of Place at pura.com. #ad #PuraPartner Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Undressed: Inside the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
Fresh off the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, I'm sitting on my closet floor (still in full glam!) to unpack everything that went down. From Kylie Jenner's $50 million Fantasy Bra and the return of the OG Angels to the incredible performances, surprise celebrity sightings, and the moments that made me emotional, we're getting into it all. I'm also diving into the Adam Selman effect, why I think he's one of the most interesting creative directors in fashion right now, and how Victoria's Secret is balancing nostalgia with a new generation of Angels. Plus, my thoughts on the PINK runway, the growing obsession with vintage Victoria's Secret dresses, and whether this whole spectacle actually makes us want to shop the brand again.

How to Budget for Clothes & Stop Impulse Shopping with Mrs. Dow Jones
Is your wardrobe a want, a need, or an investment? Haley Sacks, aka Mrs. Dow Jones, makes the case that the clothes are never the investment. The investment is you in the clothes. Haley shares how to love fashion and still be smart with money. She explains how she applies the 50/30/20 budget to clothes, how freelancers can budget without a steady paycheck, and why a first corporate wardrobe counts as a real need. She walks through the trend cycle from the runway to fast-fashion dupes and gives her three tips for shopping with intention. She also gets candid about the Chanel bag and Birkin she bought expecting them to hold their value, and what actually happens at resale. Plus, Haley breaks down cost per wear vs. girl math, why buy now, pay later is a trap, and why women should never hand off control of their finances. In this episode, we get into: The 50/30/20 budget and where clothes actually fall How to budget for fashion as a freelancer, including setting aside money for taxes When a work wardrobe is a need, and why it's an investment in "future you" The fashion trend cycle, from runway to influencers to fast-fashion dupes Haley's tips for smarter shopping: audit your closet, know your goals, price check, shop secondhand, and return what you won't wear The three-day rule before buying anything Why Birkins and luxury handbags aren't investments Work wardrobe essentials Cost per wear vs. girl math, and why the "bad with money" stereotype hurts women Why buy now, pay later and splitting purchases are traps Haley's best closet investment - the Dries Van Noten dress she's worn to 12 weddings Thank you to our sponsor @macys #PaidPartner Shop Now at https://www.macys.com/shop/new-trending?id=342756 Haley Sacks Instagram: www.instagram.com/mrsdowjones Website: www.mrsdowjones.com Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

How to Master Polished Maximalism: Mixing Prints, Color & Finding Your Style with Julia Berolzheimer
If you've ever wanted to channel your inner maximalist but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you. Style creator Julia Berolzheimer joins us to break down polished maximalism, her signature mix of color on color and print on print, and how to wear it so it feels refined, not over the top. We get into her formula for mixing prints: start with one statement piece, pay attention to texture, and find a single thread of a shared shade to tie it all together (plus why a stripe pairs with almost any print). We talk about why she invests in statements and saves on staples, how to test a bold piece at a lower price before you splurge, and the closet clean-out habit that helped her define her style. We also get into why the funky bag is always the outfit maker, how she vets Etsy sellers for one-of-a-kind finds, and how to build a work wardrobe that's fun but still office appropriate. Shop Julia's closet here: https://shopmy.us/shop/juliaberolzheimer?tab=latest In this episode, we get into: What "polished maximalism" actually means, and how Julia layers color, print, and embellishment, then pulls back just enough How her style evolved from college-era Topshop and Gal Meets Glam Collection to a funkier, less "sweet" point of view in her 30s Spotting patterns when you clean out your closet so you stop re-buying things you never wear How Julia mood boards for trips, seasons, and even her home, and why a mood board should be inspiration, not recreation Why interiors are some of her best sources of outfit inspiration Mixing prints without rules: starting with one piece, paying attention to texture, and why stripes pair with almost anything Jewelry as the connector that pulls a maximalist outfit together Why she ignores the "no more than three colors" rule Her one real rule: invest in statements, save on staples Finding your "outfit maker" pieces, and testing a statement at a lower price point before you splurge How Julia shops Etsy, from keyword searches to vetting sellers Her daily shopping rounds, the brands she loves for color and print right now, and why personality dressing is back for fall Receipts: the most expensive thing Julia has ever bought How she hunts for vintage jewelry at auction And how to building a work wardrobe that's fun but still office-appropriate Thank you to our sponsor @macys #PaidPartner Shop Now at https://www.macys.com/shop/new-trending?id=342756 Julia Berolzheimer Instagram: www.instagram.com/juliaberolzheimer Newsletter + Website: coreli.ai/juliaberolzheimer Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

I'm back with another September AMA episode, and this one is packed. We get into how to actually land a Fashion Week invite as a creative, what to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, and at-home hand-wash strategy I've been using to avoid the dry cleaner. We also get into how to keep your clothes shed-free if you live with a dog, the best coats and jackets to buy for fall (starting with the perfect ME+EM black jacket everyone needs), the designer canvas tote that isn't Dior, and what to wear on a date night. In this episode, we get into: How to actually get invited to Fashion Week as a creative — the timeline, the pitch, and the exact language to use (and avoid) What to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, from statement blazers to the one colorful cardigan I swears by My at-home laundry strategy for avoiding the dry cleaner and how I'm learning to hand-wash cashmere How to keep your closet shed-free if you live with a dog The best coats and jackets to buy for fall, starting with the perfect black jacket and working up to leather, suede, and barn jackets The designer canvas tote that isn't Dior What I'm actually wearing on date night with my husband — and why comfort wins over "dressed up" most of the time Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/7669802 SHOPMY: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/7669802 Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

What People are Wearing in NYC Right Now
Linoy Friedman, AKA What People Are Wearing breaks down the trends she spotted at New York Fashion Week. We get into the pop of red moment taking over street style (and how to actually find your shade), the sweater-tied-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack and not a trend at all, the return of statement necklaces and brooches as finishing touches, and the 3D texture -- fringe, feathers, pom-poms -- showing up on everything this season. We talk about why over-logoing an outfit is the fastest way to lose it, why "wear the trend, don't let the trend wear you" is the only rule either of us follows anymore, and her theory on which trends are actually worth buying into versus styling with what's already in your closet. We also get into her favorite shows of the week, the jeans and tees she and Liv actually reach for on repeat, and what she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner if she wanted to feel elevated without trying too hard. Get your notes app ready, because this is going to be an episode you want to take note and shop! In this episode, we get into: How Linoy built What People Are Wearing into one of the most trusted street style accounts, and what she's actually looking for when she's clocking outfits in real time The biggest trends she spotted on the ground this Fashion Week, from a full-red moment to color blocking to 3D texture (fringe, feathers, pom-poms) showing up everywhere The sweater-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack, not a trend, and why she thinks the best trends are the ones already sitting in your closet The vintage-earring-on-a-vest moment that went viral on her account, and why she thinks brooches and statement necklaces are having a real comeback Her rule for wearing red without it looking try-hard, and why the right shoe is the easiest way to bring color into a wardrobe Her take on why over-logoing an outfit "loses the story," and the one styling sin she thinks should be illegal (branded caps) Her favorite shows of the week, including Magda Butrym's rose-covered runway and Rachel Scott's Proenza Schouler show, and why she can't stop thinking about either The jeans, tees, and jewelry she and Liv actually rebuy on repeat, from Levi's 501s to vintage YSL to her grandmother's 14 karats What she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner in New York if she wanted to feel fun, elevated, and not too young Thank you to our sponsor @macys #PaidPartner Shop Now at https://www.macys.com/shop/new-trending?id=342756 Linoy Friedman Instagram: www.instagram.com/whatpeoplearewearing Newsletter: https://whatpeoplearewearing.substack.com/ Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Undressed: Everything I Loved at NYFW
Welcome to the first episode of Undressed, a new short-form series where I’m giving you my unfiltered take on what I’m seeing, loving, thinking about, and taking away from the fashion world in real time. For my first debrief, we’re talking New York Fashion Week — my 18th one! I’m getting into the shows I loved, the pieces already on my shopping list, why fashion feels especially exciting right now, and what this season made me realize about my own personal style. Plus, I’m sharing how I actually look at a runway show beyond the still images: the references, music, venue, show notes, and all the context that can completely change how you experience a collection.

How to Create a Job For Yourself That Has Never Existed with the NFL's First-Ever Fashion Editor
If you've ever been told there's no clear path for the career you want, this episode is proof you can build the path yourself. Kyle Smith joins us as the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, a role that didn't exist until he created it. We get into how a scrappy Instagram account he ran during COVID, just posting tunnel fits for fun, became his literal proof of concept and landed him back at the league in a job title no one had held before. We talk about taking Joe Burrow to Paris for his first-ever trip outside the country and putting him in a backless Peter Do suit for Vogue World, a moment that generated $22 million in paid media value, why Hermès has quietly become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, and his theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers. We also get into his "what rooms do you want to be in" framework for getting dressed with intention, and his advice for anyone trying to build a career in a lane that doesn't exist yet. In this episode, we get into: How Kyle became the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, and how a proof-of-concept Instagram account he ran during COVID turned into a job that didn't exist before he pitched for it His path from working under celebrity stylist Karla Welch, to styling NFL Network hosts, to building the league's entire fashion strategy from the ground up The story behind Joe Burrow's viral backless Peter Do suit at Vogue World Paris, and how the moment generated $22 million in paid media value Why Hermès has become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, from Saquon Barkley's shadow Birkin to custom Bengals-orange bags for Joe Burrow His theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers, and what that means for how brands think about visibility The "what rooms do you want to be in" framework he uses with players (and the rest of us) to make getting dressed intentional instead of reactive His advice for anyone trying to build a career in a space that doesn't have a clear path yet, no permission required What to actually wear to a football game, from suite dressing to jewelry to his favorite NFL x Abercrombie merch The NFL players he's watching this season for the best tunnel style.

[FROM THE ARCHIVES] What To Wear When Nothing In Your Closet Feels Like You Anymore
We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. As we head into a new season — both literally and personally — this conversation about finding your style through life's shifts felt like the right one to revisit. What happens when your body, your life, or your routine changes, and suddenly nothing in your closet feels like you anymore? In this week's episode, Liv sits down with stylist and author Allison Bornstein to talk about finding your style again through life's shifts: pregnancy, postpartum, new jobs, breakups, or just new eras. They chat about making peace with your closet, letting go of the clothes that "ask too much" of you, and learning how to dress for the person you are right now vs the person your clothes could hold you to be. Allison shares her signature Three-Word Method, tips for rebuilding confidence when your body changes, and why the goal isn't a perfect wardrobe, but a kinder relationship with the one you already have.

We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. After last week's closet cleanout episode, this one felt like the perfect follow-up — because once you've edited your wardrobe down, the next question is how to actually take care of what's left.

Claudent is designing stylish, elevated UPF 50+ clothing that not only protects your skin but makes you want to wear sun-safe looks every day.

Why Getting Dressed Feels So Hard and How to Get Your Mornings Back
If you have ever stood in a closet full of clothes and thought "I have nothing to wear," this episode is for you. It's our last solo episode before we head off for summer break, and I'm unpacking what I'm calling my biggest style growth spurt in years. It didn't come from one purchase or one outfit, it came from a full mental shift in how I think about getting dressed every day, treating my personal style with the same care I give my physical and mental wellness. I get into the wardrobe reset that came out of it, the "wardrobe rage" phenomenon Maggie Sellers coined on her podcast Hot Smart Rich (Did you know on average women lose 119 days of their careers just getting dressed?!), and the quarterly system I now swear by to keep my closet and my mornings actually working for me. Plus, a full Q&A covering monthly clothing budgets, what to do with a former "it" item you've fallen out of love with, and what to wear to the beach if shorts just aren't your thing. Consider this your cheat code to stop losing 10 minutes every morning to a pile of clothes on the floor. Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://go.shopmy.us/p-73480919 In this episode, we get into: My biggest style growth spurt to date Why I, a self-described serial over-dresser, couldn't put together a casual outfit My quarterly closet ritual Why a spotless closet is "personal style hygiene" The "wardrobe rage" phenomenon Law Roach's advice on giving yourself permission to miss How I talk myself through a bad outfit day instead of spiraling My case for repeating outfits Building five to ten go-to looks for the office Why outfit repeating should be celebrated, not hidden Clearing out half my closet last summer with stylist Thomas Christos Kikis What I keep versus sell How I decide on a monthly clothing budget What to do with a former "it" item you've outgrown My go-to beach styling that isn't shorts Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

How to Break Into Fashion, with Industry Commentator Jack Savoie
If you think you have to move to New York or LA to make it in fashion, this episode says otherwise. Jack Savoie joins us from Denver to talk about building a fashion career — and a viral following — without uprooting your life. We get into how a fake Manolo Blahnik callout on TikTok caught Bethenny Frankel's attention and took him from 20K to 67K followers overnight, why he still works full-time as a buyer at A.Line while creating content on the side, and how he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter was wearing Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive dropped. We also talk about his path from Nordstrom shoe sales to designer buying, the "Shoes of the Past" series that turned fashion nostalgia into a cultural moment, and his advice for anyone trying to break into the industry without an internship or a big city zip code. In this episode, we get into: How Jack built a career in fashion while staying based in Denver, and why he doesn't think you need to live in New York or LA to make it in the industry The story behind his viral Manolo Blahnik video — how he spotted a fake shoe in a Bethenny Frankel TikTok and grew from 20K to 67K followers in under 24 hours His path from selling shoes at Nordstrom to becoming a buyer at boutique retailer A.Line How "Shoes of the Past," his series on discontinued cult shoes like the YSL Eiffel Tower cage boot and the Isabel Marant Beckett wedge, became his biggest content wave What it's actually like balancing a full-time buying job with a content career, and how he manages burnout How he broke the news that Sabrina Carpenter wore Dior at Coachella before Vogue's own exclusive was published His biggest recent splurge — a surprise Birkin 30 in Rouge H from his longtime Hermès sales associate — and why he waits months before wearing new purchases The brands and designers he thinks are doing the best work right now, including Chanel, Dior, and Kallmeyer His current red carpet favorites, from Teyana Taylor and Margot Robbie to Sombr's fashion-forward run this year His advice for anyone trying to break into fashion without a traditional industry job or big-city move Jack Savoie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesavoiedaily TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jack.savoie Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

What Was the Best Retail Experience You’ve Ever Had?
Okay, I have to say it: retail is broken, and I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way. I've had such a big bone to pick with retail lately, and every time I bring it up — here on the podcast, on my socials — you guys have so much to say too. So today I'm finally getting into it: the post-COVID luxury gatekeeping that's got us all waiting in line for something that's supposed to feel special, the final sale chaos that's basically taken over everything, and the whole Brandy Melville dressing room saga that broke the internet a few weeks ago. After I posted a rant about all of this on Instagram, I woke up to literally hundreds of DMs from you guys with your own horror stories and dream stories, and there was such a clear through line in what everyone said that I knew I had to bring it here properly. But I didn't want to just complain for 30 minutes, so the back half of this episode is my full LA shopping guide — every vintage store, denim spot, concept store, and standalone brand that's actually doing it right, plus exactly how I'd plan a full day of shopping in West Hollywood, Venice, or Malibu. In this episode, we get into: Why Liv thinks retail peaked too soon, from luxury's post-COVID gatekeeping (appointments, lines) to the final-sale "epidemic" hitting resale sites like The RealReal The Brandy Melville dressing room controversy, and what it says about the shopping experience for an entire generation The flood of DMs Liv got after her retail rant went viral, and the surprising through-line in what listeners said they miss most about shopping Liv's case for why LA is having a real shopping renaissance, and why she calls it the denim capital of the world Her definitive vintage guide, including Scout, RLT, Reformation Vintage, and The RealReal Where to find the best vintage denim in LA, from With Love, Lenny to The Dig in Venice Her favorite multi-brand and concept stores, including Mohawk General Store and the newly opened Earl IRL (owned by former editor Laurel Pantin) Standout standalone brand stores, from a surprise favorite at Rachel Comey to an appointment-only visit to Jacques Marie Mage How to plan a full day of shopping in West Hollywood, Abbot Kinney, or Malibu Country Mart, including where to eat Liv's advice for finding a genuine, personal shopping experience wherever you live Let's Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

How To Master the "In-Between" Outfits
If your everyday outfits feel like an afterthought, this episode is going to change that. Gabs Gofis (aka Gift of Gabs on Substack) joins us to talk about the category most of us ignore: the in-between outfit. We get into how she built a signature, easy LA style after years of feeling confused by trends, why she's stopped sizing for her true size and started sizing for fit, and the exact brands she reaches for on repeat — Donni, Still Here New York, RLT, and more. We also talk eyewear as the most underrated investment in your closet, how she finds one-of-a-kind vintage on Etsy and The RealReal (and the AI hack she swears by for sizing), and why her "Gaps in the Closet" practice changed the way she shops for good. Plus, we get into slob chic, the difference between LA dressing and New York dressing, the bag she actually wears every day versus the one she dreams of, and her advice for anyone who feels like they're either too dressed up or not dressed up at all. Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/collections/5987092 In this episode, we get into: Why Gabs believes the "in-between" outfit — not your dressed-up looks — is actually the most important category in your closet How moving from the East Coast to LA completely shifted her personal style, and why LA dressing is rooted in ease over polish Her go-to in-between brands on repeat Why she invests in eyewear over almost anything else right now — including her vintage Chanel pair from The RealReal and her Phoebe Philo "Cookie" sunglasses Her best vintage shopping hacks + how she searches Etsy by fabric and the AI trick she uses to check sizing before buying Her "Gaps in the Closet" method How she dresses up a sweatpant moment without trying too hard The bag she actually wears every day versus the investment piece she's not ready to carry daily yet Her go-to shoe rotation for elevating a casual outfit Her favorite LA shopping spots for vintage and resale How she would style a wedding guest dress under $500 Gabriella Gofis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabrigofis/ Newsletter: https://gabriellagofis.substack.com/ Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

We get into all of it: how being an athlete shapes the way you see your body and get dressed, the bags she's investing in (and why she gravitates toward color over classics), her honest take on wearables and why she finally took off her Oura Ring, and the exact brands and pieces she reaches for every single day. We also talk about Bites Run Club — how a spontaneous Instagram story turned into 150 girls showing up to run Central Park, and why in-person community might be one of the most underrated things you can build right now.

Are Handbags Actually a Good Investment?
Handbags have always been emotional purchases. Somewhere along the way, they became financial ones too, and if you've ever tried to justify a Birkin to someone who doesn't get it, Rachel Koffsky is the woman who makes that argument for you. Rachel is the Head of Handbags at Christie's, one of the world's most prestigious auction houses, and has spent 12 years at the intersection of fashion, collecting, and the resale market. She joins me to break down what it actually means to treat a handbag like an asset, and which bags are worth your money right now. We get into the history of handbags at auction, what the market is telling us about where we are culturally, and why classic pieces continue to outperform almost everything else. Whether you're sitting on a collection or thinking about your first serious purchase, this episode will change how you think about what's hanging in your closet. Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/collections/5624992 In this episode, we get into: How Christie's first offered a handbag for sale in 1978 — with pieces from Coco Chanel's personal collection The era of the It Bag and why the late 90s and early 2000s changed collecting forever Why Birkins and Kellys set record prices during the 2008 recession — and what that proved about handbags as investments How the pandemic accelerated the shift to digital and created an entirely new generation of handbag collectors Christie's 96% sell-through rate in handbags and what it signals about the current market The five factors Christie's uses to evaluate and price every bag: brand, material, model, condition, and rarity Which bags are actually appreciating right now — and which are too trend-dependent to hold value Why the Kelly Pochette is having its moment and what's driving demand for smaller, evening-ready styles The world record Christie's set for a Kelly Doll bag — and why it sold for $350,000 How to research a bag purchase the way a collector would The difference between buying at Christie's versus a resale platform — and when each makes sense Why Karl-era Chanel is having a major moment at auction right now The sticker debate: does leaving them on actually increase value?
