I find products from instagram, WSJ style section and following people like you and Becky and Leandra. But I would LOVE to find influencers/advertisers (I love your thought here!) who are my age (53), my size (10-12) and in my region (Midwest). We are stylish people too!! I have been on the hunt for years...

Thank you for introducing me to lemon8! I’ve been saving outfits I like on my iPhone library for 2 years now in a bid to create my own Pinterest board of my own wardrobe - something to inspire me on the days I feel meh and like I have nothing to wear and a bid to re-use and re-style my existing pieces instead of buying new. Going to try out moving this to lemon8! I’m katiemcnaughton if anyone wants to check it out 🥰

‘People as “influencers” was the start. People as publishers is the end game.’

ICONIC. Succinct.

Love everything you do and style Meg. We were in touch last year - would love you to see what I’ve been up to on Substack with styling and essays 😘 Camilla x

My Grandmother sound similar to yours and it was such a fresh perspective to start following you. I feel as if I’m getting style and education all in one!

I starting following stylist Allison Bornstein after seeing her on a Violette fr. Video. She’s gotten me to shop my own closet more and be more considerate of what I purchase which was huge for me as an Assistant manager in a small boutique. I’m also a mom of two boys so I appreciate all you have on your plate! I have the Moss necklace on my wishlist and cannot wait to see what else Dorsey creates.

Hi Megan,

Curious if you can share the brand for the wrap jacket featured in this post? It looks to be sold out on my Theresa. I’d love to see if I can find it elsewhere. Thank you. Love your Substack.

I agree with this — “If content looks like an ad, and feels like an ad, your customers will think it’s an ad. Consumers … want none of it.” There are people I started following years ago because I shared their style and it’s been hard to see more and more of their content transform into clear ads. I know that’s totally unfair — they’re entitled to earn a living — but I miss the authenticity.

Love it! Which store in LA is carrying Toteme?

I almost exclusively discover products through individuals I follow on Instagram. Sometimes people I see in public. I read your 13 thing ls article and found addt’l products while perusing other articles. Very new to lemon8. Right now, I find that platform more difficult to shop from because I’m just getting brand names rather than specific links. But, I think in the future, that will be my go to if they’re able to work out that kink.
