Lyon and Post

A few weeks ago I placed an order from a new online shop called Lyon + Post. Here's the great thing about it...you shop online, but you don't pay for anything until you decide to keep it. 

Here's how it works. You sign-up, shop their online "catalogue", add things to your "try it on" list and once you have four in your "dressing room", they send it to you. No shipping. No payment (yet). 

Here's what the box looks like upon arrival. 

Pretty packaging!

And here are the three things that I ordered. The first was this Equipment blouse that was on sale.

And while I liked it, I wasn't overwhelmed, so it went back in the return envelope. 

The second item was this Greylin blouse also on sale for only $31!

Considering I started out with a $30 credit, I knew immediately this was staying in my closet. 

And lastly I ordered these sundry shorts, also on sale for $45.

These too were keepers. 

I wore both the Greylin top and the Sundry shorts on my trip to Mexico last week! The shorts are cute and comfy, and I'm hoping the Sundry sweatpants on their site come back into stock.

Lyon + Post is pretty much like shopping on any other online store. The only difference is that there's no shipping cost (in either direction), and you don't actually get charged for any of the items until you choose to buy them. Think of it like being in a dressing room, except in the comfort of your own home. 

I will definitely be ordering from Lyon + Post again. You should give it a try. If you use this link you will start out with $30 in your shopping cart just like I did!

Happy Shopping!

Instacart

I have been so giddy about sharing this post since Friday night when my friend Margueritte made a life changing introduction to Instacart.

It went like this, "I used this today for the first time and it was fantastic! I rarely ever post these types of things, so I promise it's the real deal."

So, I clicked on the link to learn more...and I have been doing a happy dance ever since. Here's the long story short:

You can have groceries from Costco and Whole Foods (as well as other stores that are city specific) delivered to your home, in less than 2 hours for only $3.99!

Say What???? I don't have to drive to Costco anymore?

You mean to say I can have a Pixie Raw Pudding Cup delivered to my door without stepping a foot in Whole Foods?

As I said, this site is LIFE CHANGING! I have no doubt that many of you will be joining me in the Instacart movement. Did you just have a baby and run out of diapers? No problem, they can be delivered to your door in less than 2 hours. How about you just had a meeting scheduled and it's eating into your grocery shopping time after work? No big deal, just have your groceries delivered! You can even make special requests. This service is so crazy good I can't stand it.

The prices are "their own" which clearly means they are slightly higher, but I think I would still save money by not stepping foot in the store. My purchases will be need based and not impulse buys.

Currently Instacart is available in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and Washington, D.C, and they are expanding rapidly!
