Online Accessories & Fashion: You Can Make Money!

For all you entrepreneurs out there. Anyone who is unemployed. Someone just looking to make some extra dough. Ladies who want to get more involved in the industry they love most. Or if you just want to learn/brush up on your business and computer skills:

YOU ARE FORTUNATE TO BE ALIVE AT THIS TIME IN HISTORY

I know this from personal experience as well as from recent information I have received regarding how anyone who is motivated can make a couple bucks and/or get some free stuff online.

Examples:

1. mark makeup - Become a Rep!

mark identifies with its target demographic of young women inspired to be entrepreneurs who choose to be affiliated socially and professionally with a group of like-minded individuals. The mark Rep program provides young women with an opportunity to earn supplemental income through social interaction and benefits such as:
-Set their own hours and manage their business online
-Sell makeup, skincare, jewelry and accessories using the mark Magalog, a monthly publication of carefully selected products and tips from mark experts
-Earn a 25%-40% sales commission
-Participate in sales incentive programs including product discounts and the mark rewards program

2. Tibesti (http://www.tibesti.com/) - This new social shopping site helps you earn cash by simply recommending and showcasing your favorite products. It’s where Facebook meets online shopping…but with actual cash rewards. I have signed up but am not really sure how to use it effectively, so the jury is still out. But if you want to give it a shot, here's how:

1. Create a profile
2. List your favorite things by browsing more than 20 million
3. Add and meet new friends
4. Create your own store with your favorite products and reviews
5. Earn 25 percent of the commission from the items sold on your Tibesti page, plus 25 percent of the commission on any products purchased anywhere on the site, totaling 50 percent in overall commission earned.

Other key features on the site include:
Expert Reviews from 120+ top experts in categories including beauty, electronics, fashion and gardening and World’s Most Expensive, which celebrates the most expensive and outrageous products in the world.

Report From the Proenza Schouler Sample Sale

Proenza Schouler

Wednesday, July 29 - Friday, July 31

495 Broadway between Broome and Spring Sts, 8th floor

Near 6 Train Spring Street Station or short walk to BDVF lines

Daily 9am—6pm

No dressing room. No air conditioning. But a charming fox terrier, a sample sale veteran, who sat quietly watching the parade of super skinny sample sales shoppers trying on dresses that retailed at toney retailers for more than $1,400 for under $300, without a single yelp. The "Bandage Dress" sold for just $400. Cover girls apparently are recessionistas too. One showed last night looking for a bag, but left without a single purchase.

Note to self for next year: sneak into the Friends and Family the day before. Sample skirts sized 2-4 from current and past seasons priced from $62 to over $100. A pop-art purple stretchy top for $200. If you've always wanted Proenza, be forewarned since selections are small, sizes are only for those who are naturally tiny or having been losing weight over the economy. Merch moving quickly. Staff friendly. If you've somehow squirrelled away any $$ after running to any of the hundreds of sample sales this year, or have found your own stimulus package, it's worth a peek. (Yes, GSNYC contributor Nancy Brenner was there!)

Leanne Marshall's exclusive line for Bluefly

Leanne Marshall, the winner of last season's Project Runway, has recently debuted her line on BLUEFLY. Sorry to say, I am NOT digging it. The colors remind me of Malibu Barbie or Valley Girl (the movie). Bluefly's marketing/photography probably isn't helping Leanne's cause either. I am willing to guess she isn't thrilled.

But I wanted Chris March to win anyway. Oh wait, wrong season.

Avon: I Found Two Good Things

I was invited to a summer/fall showing of Avon products. OK, totally not my style or scene, but everyone was very nice and they gave me free stuff, so I will refrain from my usual sarcastic and cutting remarks, and just focus on the good stuff:

Good Item #1: The Slimwear Pencil Skirt, $29.99

Available for Fall, this skirt has a Spanx-like system built right in. It's groovy and I liked it. I might even buy it.

Good Item #2: Pleats Are Neat Satin Flats (available in black and purple), $16.99

These shoes will be available for winter. I love flats. I have at least 4 pairs of black ones already. I may have to buy the purple ones.

Bottom line, these items are fun and cheap. They kind of reminded me of the best fashions one might come across at Target; and this is a good thing, for you feel like you have conquered the fashion world and capitalist society in one fell swoop.

To buy any of these fabulous fashion finds, you can locate an Avon e-representative near you by visiting Avon.com.
