// you're reading Jean Mayer, Uncategorized Announcing Lacolleta Posted by lacolleta ⋅ May 16, 2011 ⋅ 1 Comment These days, millions of people are shopping online. Last year, $155 billion was spent on online retail sales alone. Neimanmarcus.com, for example, had $496 million in sales; with nearly 5 million monthly visitors. But these sites are meant for the masses, trying to be all things to all people. On Lacolleta, you can create your own "virtual closet," where you can upload photos of pieces you already own as well as ones you purchase on my site. I will then suggest items to complete those looks. Online shopping is laborious and time consuming; my solution is curating personal style with Lacolleta. I provide an expert opinion on how to put together your best wardrobe without ever leaving home. I don't believe in buying just to have something new every season. In a designer's collection, there may be only a few pieces that are worth the investment. On Lacolleta, I will select key items from each season from online retailers like Net-a-Porter. This highly-edited approach eliminates the "What was I thinking?" buyer's remorse. My system is building a core wardrobe of essentials, adding special pieces to cultivate, and enhancing your own style. Your wardrobe should have longevity, standing the test of time and trends. I'm very excited about this new venture, and believe that Lacolleta has the potential to make online shopping a pleasurable and efficient experience.
