Life's Little Luxuries
5 Things We Loved this Week
This week on the Girl Talk blog we decided to do something a little different; we’re sharing 5 of our favorite things this week. When life gets extra stressful, sometimes it’s best to take a step back and find the joy in the little things in life. Here are five things that us Michael’s girls are loving this week from sharing one of our favorite designer consignment items available now to some smart online reads to enrich your day.
Michael's Consignment Hangs out with the NYC Dog Mom
Megan Rose is one of the co-founders of Gal’s Best Friend: a website focusing on the women who love the dogs in their lives. Founded by three best friends and dog moms who now live in different areas around the country, Megan is our local NYC dog mom and puppy guru! Megan is the go-to of all things dog related in New York City; her own three pups Pharell, Rosie, and Rumba follow her around like groupies. Megan has even been featured on The Dodo where she shared her rescue of Rumba while she was on vacation in the Dominican Republic. We dressed Megan up in a gorgeous pale blue Ralph Lauren dress paired with Robert Clergerie flats, and accessorized her pups in color coordinating Hermes scarves. These three rescue pups have come so far thanks to Megan; from homeless to Hermes!
Notes on Camp with No Repeats or Hesitations
Following the Met Gala theme from the first Monday in May, we here at Michael’s were of course inspired by the Notes on Camp theme. Once we came across Emily Polner and her blog No Repeats or Hesitations, it was a match made in Camp heaven.

Happy Mother’s day to all mothers everywhere from Michael’s Consignment!

Get the Look: Meghan Markle’s Posh Style
It’s a boy! We love ourselves a royal wedding, but you know what’s even more sweeter? A royal baby, especially just in time for Mother’s Day! Meghan Markle has given birth to a beautiful little boy, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, who is 7th in line for the throne of England. As we are pouring over photos of our first glimpse of Meghan and Harry’s bundle of royal joy, we are reliving some of Meghan’s best princess-worthy looks. We know, she tends to look perfectly put together from head to toe 24/7, but actually her look is simple to recreate. Even with strict royal protocols when it comes to dressing, she is still able to show off her charming personality with color choices and styles. Meghan sticks to classic silhouettes that serve her shape and coloring best, and we are taking notes! Today we’re sharing how you too can recreate some of the America’s Princess’ iconic looks.
5 Things You Didn’t Know About Chanel
Since the beginning of Michael's Consignment, we have taken the best brands and labels of the time. We have sold Chanel for years because Coco Chanel created her brand with longevity and timeless designs. Today on the blog, we are going to share 5 things you may not have known about Gabrielle Chanel or her iconic brand.
One Item Challenge with Inna Bose
We're celebrating Earth month by partnering with one of our favorite fashionable sustainable bloggers, Inna Bose! We challenged Inna to pick one item from our collection and style it in three whole different looks! And Inna for sure delivered.We love a versatile item that can be worn with anything, just like this Alexander Wang denim jacket that Inna chose as her one item. She had so much fun styling these three different looks in honor of Earth Day. It just goes to show that investing in a quality piece that you can wear all the time is not only stylish, but sustainable.

Your New Year's Fashion Resolutions
Happy New Year! There’s nothing like the brand new fresh start that comes with the new year. Now is the time to take a step forward and make some good changes!

So let’s start our fashion resolution for 2019 by taking a peek at your closet...
Mint and Thrift Shops 'Til She Drops at Michael's Consignment
Mint and Thrift is a fashion blog based in New York City run by Gisel Luna. Gisel informs her readers on great items you can buy brand new, or “mint” condition, and “thrift,” which means second hand. She wants to inform readers that there isn’t just one way to look good. Gisel also blogs about styling and beauty suggestions, and she has quickly become one of our favorite NYC blogger babes.
Our Favorite Vintage Fashion Icons
Everyone can remember that nostalgic feeling you get while watching Audrey Hepburn dressed as Holly Golightly strolling down Fifth Avenue in the early morning while the solemn notes of “Moon River” play in the background. Between the oversized Ray Ban sunglasses, huge pearl necklace, and iconic black dress, there was so much fashion to love from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. And as designer Hubert Givenchy dressed Audrey Hepburn during the majority of her film career, it is no surprise that Audrey became the fashion icon that she still is today. So many wonderful women from the past have inspired the way we dress today. Today we’ll be sharing some of our favorite vintage fashion icons and how you can achieve their iconic looks.
