Meet & Greet: Smashion

I'm so excited to introduce to you guys my newest sponsor, Smashion! The lovely Vanessa Kuo of Smashion contacted me not too long ago, explained the site's concept, and I thought, "Genius!" So what is Smashion? To sum it up...

Smashion® is a social fashion site that features a free marketplace connecting buyers and sellers with a passion for fashion. Smashion enables its members to express their unique style, connect with others to discuss fashion trends, and save money buying - or make money selling - lightly worn or NWT (new with tags) clothing, accessories, footwear, and more with no transaction or listing fees.

I have been buying and selling on eBay for sometime and to be honest, the increase in listing & final value fees irks me a bit. Smashion is a breath of fresh air to this jaded eBayer:) Yes, it has been over a month since the holidays, but I'm sure some of us are still pinching our pennies (following the holiday shopping spree). How about taking advantage of the market feature and sell unneeded clothing and accessories for some extra cash?? Signing up for an account is FREE and there are NO listing/transaction fees. All transactions are through PayPal, which ensures safety for both buyer and seller. Plus, a feedback feature similar to eBay is available to share your buying/selling experiences. Here are a few finds from the Smashion market place...

(1) NEW Jessica Simpson Peep Toe Pumps $45, cassandras_closet (2) NEW Rosa Cha Straw Handbag $25.99, want_it (3) NEW Red Chiffon Dress $10, thecheapshack (4) New Handmade Goldenrod Feather Earrings $9.99, hotdogsandpoodles

Recently, I set up an account and have been playing around with the site. I really enjoyed interacting in the forums with fellow Smashionistas. Everyone was very welcoming and down to earth! The site also has a chictopia-esque feature where you can share your daily outfits. As for the market area, I have found some amazing deals on both gently used and BRAND NEW items! I must admit that "window shopping" gets a little addicting lol

Please support my latest sponsor and check out Smashion when you get the chance:) The site has even received press from Lucky Magazine and ABC News (Philadelphia)!

P.S. I set up my own store in Smashion's market feature called MuchLOVED. It's (early) spring cleaning time! I have both gently used and brand new items starting at $4.99. Please drop by when you have some time:) I will also write a more comprehensive review of my experience with Smashion at a later date.

Have a great weekend!!
