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!

#ad Anyone else tired of constantly wiping down th #ad Anyone else tired of constantly wiping down their kitchen?!? 😅 I might as well keep a cleaner in my hand at all times since cleaning up after my toddler and baby is a full-time job! I’ve been looking to make the switch to a refillable cleaning product and found the NEW @clorox Multi-Purpose Refillable Cleaner @Target…it’s perfect! I love this as a more sustainable option since it uses 80% less plastic waste* and when I'm out, I just need to buy the concentrate vs. a full bottle which means less shipping costs too! This bleach free cleaner gets all the sticky messes and handprints off all my surfaces—counters, floors, highchairs, etc. Just refill, reload, & reuse! Buy now from Target! #CloroxRefillableCleaners *By replacing thirty Clorox 16 fl oz spray cleaners.
Spring has sprung and LOVING IT! I’ve been livin Spring has sprung and LOVING IT! I’ve been living in this jersey maxi dress and tie day sweater from @walmart, it’s been so comfortable to wear on transitional spring days where it’s warm one second and then raining the next (swipe right 👉🏻) they come in a bunch of colors and can’t beat that price 🙌🏻 Sharing more on stories how i like to tie it up for wearing outside of the house too #ad #walmart #walmartfashion @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/3DaOZ
We have been having so much fun on our extended tr We have been having so much fun on our extended trip at the beach house in 30A! I was so nervous packing  for two kids on this trip (6 suitcases later…) so I leaned in on @walmart to help me out by ordering our baby essentials to the house in advance. We arrived to our stock of diapers, pull ups, wipes, formula, apple sauce pouches, etc…everything we needed! I also ordered the boys some cute outfits, OBSESSED with these hoodie sets and love the colors, and my maxi dress too! I’ve linked all our outfits and baby favorites via @Shop.LTK for you to shop here https://liketk.it/3AKkL #WalmartBaby #liketkit AD
#BotanicalOriginPartner I am OBSESSED with optimiz #BotanicalOriginPartner I am OBSESSED with optimizing my life to be more efficient, (gotta be time-wise with two kids, multiple businesses, and getting it all done!). Amazon Subscribe and Save is my best bud for ordering our essentials to the house and we just swapped our laundry detergent to @botanicalorigin. This stuff smells so fresh, (I order the orange blossom & citrus leaves scent) but the best part about it is it removes tough the toughest stains like: wine 🍷, spaghetti sauce 🍝 (my stain nemesis!!!), chocolate 🍫, mustard 🌭, makeup foundation 💋(OMG!!!!!!), ink 🖊, oil and bacon grease 🥓… basically everything that ruins our family’s clothes. It’s plant based (67% USDA Biobased), for sensitive skin and is also aesthetically pleasing 🥰 , which is perfect as I’m trying to make this corner of our garage more organized. Peep my stories to see more about our new laundry detergent but also the rest of the garage 😂😬🤪 #BotanicalOriginPartner #ElevateYourClean  @botanicalorigin
We have been HARD at work for the past couple days We have been HARD at work for the past couple days in Florida working on @the30abeachhouse! It’s been a total labor of love and that includes finding last minutes deals online for things that are backordered, not arriving in time, or that just didn’t work out! Thankfully I’m shopping the @retailmenot Daylight Savings event (now through 3/20) to save extra on my purchases from favorite retailers like @homedepot and @michaelscraftstore! Swipe through the carousel to see some of our progress this weekend including our @samsung appliances we saved 10% on! 👉🏻🌊☀️ad
My camera roll is looking a lot like this lately 🥰 Kevin is officially back to work as of this Monday 😭 so I’ve got solo mornings with the kids and Harrison at the 2 year old toddler age is a ✨struggle✨I never knew putting on the wrong socks could completely ruin someone’s day but here we are 🙃 for any mamas out there struggling—I see you 🤪
