my runway

Hey everyone, I hope your week has been going off to a good start…I’m eagerly awaiting Friday!

I wanted to tell you about a little project I’ve been working on…Living in the Bay Area, I’m constantly surrounded by technology and innovation whether its a technology project I’m working on at work or talking with friends about their next startup idea.  But, I’ve always loved the idea of using technology to connect people with what they love, and in my case–that’s fashion!

I’ve teamed up with the global software company SAP and have been working as a member of their Advisory Panel on the creation of one of the newest fashion apps available, My Runway!  My Runway was originally released in China and was so popular that it has just been released for the US as well.  I’ve spent the past month testing out the app, playing with features, giving my feedback on what’s hot and what needs some work, and I’m really excited that the app is now live and ready for you to try it out too!  I wanted to share some of my favorite features with you and hear back what you think of the app.

Brand


The Brand section allows you to follow all of your favorite brands to stay up to date on the newest trends as well as current sales (my favorite part, ever). You can choose from a list of about 200 brands or even request more if your favorite one is not part of the list yet. The section distinguishes between Favorite and Hot–fave are your own chosen favorite brands, hot are the brands with the highest user followings and are most popular on My Runway.

Trend

The Trend section is divided into new and hot–you will get the newest items that were added to the brands you are following in New and the hottest trends according to all users of My Runway in Hot. You can set your own filters based on categories, styles and even price ranges to filter on certain trends in this section. It also lets you put individual items on your Wish List (using the bag with the heart icon). Tapping on an item gives you detailed information like price, colors and sizes available as well as the closest store depending on your current location. My favorite part? You can call the store directly to see if they have your item in stock directly from the app.  Where has this app been all my life?!?

Promo

The  Promo section alerts you on all the sales events going on for either the brands you are following or ALL brands. If you let My Runway send you push notifications you will also be alerted about promotions.  I like to think of these push notifications as Stop-What-You’re-Doing-There-Is-A-Sale-Going-On notifications.

Wish List

The Wish List section is both your wish list and wardrobe! You can put every item you like on your wish list (using the bag with the heart icon) and share your list on your social media channels. You can indicate whether you want somebody to buy an item for you (maybe for your next birthday, wink wink) or share that you have just bought it yourself! Leaving a comment on your recent purchases gives other app users ideas of what the item is actually like (fabric, quality, etc).  You can of course also take your own pictures of items you just bought or already have in your closet directly from the app.

And last, the Reward section is not only your profile page but also keeps track of your status level and points earned. Check-in on the app at various stores and you earn points towards promotional deals and discounts for the brand.  You can also search users and invite friends from here as well!

So that’s a summary of My Runway!  It was JUST released to the public this past week (available on the Apple App Store as well as on Android’s Google Play) so I’m looking for people to follow on it so that I can start seeing where everyone is shopping and see what pieces you are styling.  Have you guys downloaded My Runway yet? Let’s follow each other (I’m signed up as @JustAddGlam) and I’d love to hear what you think!

    Congrats on working on this! It sounds super useful, well, I mean, as long as you’ve got a smartphone. But that’s kind of a prereq for any sort of app, so…

    Hi Jennifer!!

    What an insightful article! Congrats on your latest activity with My Runway! It’s actually a great summary of all the features of the app!! I’ve recently started bookmarking things with the app’s MyWish bookmarklet, which can be very useful for your Wish List section!!!

    Hi Jennifer!
    Thanks so much for this blog post, it is really nice!
    I like how you described all 5 sections of the app. I have been using My Runway for the past weeks and really enjoy it myself, especially the sales alerts for my favorite brands 🙂
    It is also updated frequently as more brands are added.

    Thanks Jennifer, and see you at one of our next events!

I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard

Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great s Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great stuff for hosting and gifting this year and the last thing I need is it walking off my front porch. This season, to make sure my new silverware and champagne flutes make it to my holiday table for hosting, I’m having all of my Amazon orders delivered to my garage thanks to my @myQconnect Smart Garage Control and @AmazonKey. It’s awesome to be able to watch my delivery live from the myQ app when I’m not home to make sure my packages are secure and locked up when it’s all done. Cheers!

Holiday shopping without the stress of package the Holiday shopping without the stress of package theft! 👏🏻 For holiday shopping this year, l've #partnered with @myQconnect to enable all of my packages to be delivered straight to my garage thanks to the myQ Smart Garage Control and @AmazonKey. I love how this option helps keep my packages secure for peace of mind. One less thing to deal with during an already busy season!

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
