Shop her closet: Christabelle's Closet


Having a fashion lover as a best friend can be a very handy thing, particularly if that friend is the same dress and shoe size. A best friend's closet can be like shopping at a mall - for free! For those of us without such a fortunate relationship though, there are sites like Christabelle's Closet. Featured on TV and in magazines like Shape, Star, and O Magazine, Christabelle's Closet is one of the best places online to purchase sweet deals on resale designer items.

Owner Christabelle has worked for years in the fashion and beauty industries and now uses her connections in these worlds to bring consumers the cream of the crop in terms of fashion and accessories straight from the closets of the rich and famous. "Regular" people can contribute too and make a little cash from their gently worn items. Christabelle's Closet regularly features pieces from such designers and brands as Anya Hindmarch, Botkier, Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo, Clinique, and Lancome.

My only qualms with the site is that from the POV of someone in the software industry, I find the website to look amateurish and hard to navigate. For a service that is so well-known, the site really deserves a slick revamp; however it gets the job done, so I guess that's alright.

As an exclusive offer for Being High Maintenance, not Bitchy readers, Christabelle's Closet is offering 20% off all items for your new fall shopping purchases! Just use the discount code CLASSY20 at checkout - happy shopping!


In other news, one of my favourite Vancouver bloggers, miss Bunnie of The Bunnie Bar is launching her own accesories online store, Love, Bunnie! I'm very excited as her style is always impeccably trendy - she is one lady whose closet I would love to rampage through! In celebration of her store launch, she is hosting a giveaway to win something from her line. Trust me when I say this is a giveaway you don't want to miss!
