Shop for a Friend: Luméra Magazine

something borrowed, never new holiday & nye outfits

Happy Holidays and Merry Thriftmas!

To prepare for the slew of events that come with the season, I went vintage shopping with Sarah Marie Day, co-founder of Luméra Magazine at Seven Wonders Collective in Williamsburg. We took on the challenge of styling each other, with Sarah headed home to Germany, me to Colorado, and then both returning to NYC for NYE, we styled each other in looks that could work for family and friends gatherings to classic and celebratory nights out in the city to ring in 2024!

I compiled a shopmy list of pre-loved pieces from Seven Wonders Collective or similar ones to what we found for each other, shop secondhand here!

Holiday Gathering Outfits

Sarah’s Holiday Outfit: Sonia Rykiel red knit wool culottes, vintage collared sweater, vintage lace top, gold chain belt, red Gucci loafers Hilliary’s Holiday Outfit: Jean Paul Gaultier silk knee-length skirt, beaded y2k halter tunic, oversized textural blazer, 90s square-toe boot

New Year’s Eve Outfits

If you ever feel stuck with what to wear, ask a friend to go secondhand shopping with you and pick out pieces they think would look good on you, or ask them to come over and help style you from your own closet.

I have a Master’s in Sustainability Management from Columbia University which I pursued after 10+ years of working in fashion/ brand marketing. I started writing Something Borrowed, Never New to share what I learn studying and working in sustainability and to create a community where it is celebrated to wear *new to you.* To see the secondhand outfits I wear to walk the dogs, follow on ig.
