Speaker 1: traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast is

Speaker 1: solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. I'm Lee Campbell,
Speaker 1: and every week I chat to an expert who helps
Speaker 1: us work out how to get more out of the
Speaker 1: clothes we already own and tells us exactly what is
Speaker 1: and isn't worth adding to our wardrobe. And one of
Speaker 1: the keys to getting more out of the clothes we
Speaker 1: already own isn't actually in our wardrobe, It's in our phone.
Speaker 1: Our guest today has an incredible eye for spotting trends
Speaker 1: before they hit the mainstream, and she knows how to
Speaker 1: make those trends personal and unique. I'm talking about our
Speaker 1: resident social media guru here at Mamma Mia Live James.
Speaker 1: You might have seen Live on our socials. She hits
Speaker 1: streets and ask people lots of weird questions, but she
Speaker 1: is also a styling social and shopping guru Liv knows
Speaker 1: more about Pinterest than anyone I've ever met. She's going
Speaker 1: to talk us through how to curate your own boards,
Speaker 1: how to search the biggest trends coming up in fashion
Speaker 1: that are about to be everywhere that we're all over
Speaker 1: Pinterest first, and how she uses it to create an
Speaker 1: algorithm that is exactly for her so she never has
Speaker 1: to wonder what to wear. Get ready for Live, Secrets
Speaker 1: for turning your pinterest worthy ideas into realistic outfits Live.
Speaker 1: James honestly have not been more excited for an episode
Speaker 1: shut up. So to give the listeners a bit of
Speaker 1: a background story. You work here at Mamameia. What's your
Speaker 1: actual job?
Speaker 3: I am the lifestyle social Producer.
Speaker 1: Okay, so social media is your life, as in you
Speaker 1: are paid to do. Yes, you are very good at it,
Speaker 1: but I don't get to spend that much timing with
Speaker 1: you anymore because, for those that don't know, if you're
Speaker 1: not permanent, part time or full time here at MMA ME,
Speaker 1: you don't get a desk. You just kind of have
Speaker 1: to wander around aimlessly and hope that you will be
Speaker 1: able to sit somewhere. And a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: I got to sit next to Live James and it
Speaker 1: was the best and the worst day of my life
Speaker 1: because I spent so much money and she had the
Speaker 1: best product recommendations, the best tips, and from that was
Speaker 1: sort of born this idea this episode. So Live James, Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm going to make you describe your own style in
Speaker 1: three words.
Speaker 3: Okay. Sometimes you'll look at yourself and you'll wish you're
Speaker 3: something other than what you.
Speaker 1: Are, what you're putting out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I came up with my three words eclectic, playful,
Speaker 3: and vintage.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you in a person? You in three words?
Speaker 3: Thank you very much?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: And I told the team right, and Julian said you
Speaker 3: should probably put chaos in there.
Speaker 1: Too, okay. So Julian is another video producer here at
Speaker 1: Mama Mea who we adore, but he doesn't understand the
Speaker 1: difference between an offensive word, yes.
Speaker 3: And eclectic but exactly. He wasn't that wrong. But I
Speaker 3: like to think that I'm slightly more. You know how
Speaker 3: Jane Burkin treats her burken bags, Yes, I lashes them, yes,
Speaker 3: so like good bones, but with some person chaos. Yes,
Speaker 3: That's what I'm into.
Speaker 1: I love that. So much, and I feel like it
Speaker 1: looks good at the end, like there's people that can
Speaker 1: do a bit of chaos deliberately it looks great or
Speaker 1: really just like WHOA, what happened with your lights out?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You always look really different and unique but cool.
Speaker 3: That's so nice. Thanks.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess like it is an artistic process
Speaker 3: in the end, like I lay it all out before
Speaker 3: I get dressed in the morning.
Speaker 1: He's my next question, So your personal style philosophy and
Speaker 1: how you get dressed. Yes, do you think about it?
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I will organize my outfit the night before I
Speaker 3: can't go to sleep. If I don't, I'll lay it
Speaker 3: out on the ground and I'll put my shoes next
Speaker 3: to it and make sure all the colors match. Put
Speaker 3: my socks next, like.
Speaker 1: You're doing a flat light.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you are social media in real life.
Speaker 3: Literally.
Speaker 1: Now look before we get into the topic, you know
Speaker 1: this saying, and it's pretty true for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: You were ten percent of your order have ninety percent
Speaker 1: of the time. So the stuff you really love, what's
Speaker 1: in your ten percent?
Speaker 3: I have this pair of added us they're Maroon. I've
Speaker 3: got them on right now. Actually, Maroon has become a
Speaker 3: neutral for me. And then I have a jacket so
Speaker 3: in the colder months, I have a jacket in the
Speaker 3: same maroon lever, so I'll wear that. And then socks,
Speaker 3: colored socks I literally had in my three lists. I
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, colors, how do you the sucks.
Speaker 1: Of your gun?
Speaker 3: I think I've got my over fifty like.
Speaker 1: You look for shoes that you can wear socks with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this might be a stock episode, but it's not due
Speaker 1: to your job, but also your personal interest. You are
Speaker 1: a pinterest pro and Pinterest is kind of a little
Speaker 1: forgotten platform. I think we're all over social media, but
Speaker 1: do you reckon Pinterest is social media.
Speaker 3: I grew up as a tumbler kid, so you would
Speaker 3: have your own website. You'd be reposting all this inspirational
Speaker 3: quote fashion, all that kind of.
Speaker 1: Stuff like blurry, sparkly litter photos, yati.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I stopped doing that and
Speaker 3: I got into Pinterest because Pinterest has the best algorithm
Speaker 3: of any social media platform. And that shows my geekiness
Speaker 3: about my job. But no, it truly does, like it
Speaker 3: learns you like the back of its hand, like it's crazy.
Speaker 1: So as a user, if I play around on their
Speaker 1: searching for things I like. It really gets it right,
Speaker 1: giving me what I.
Speaker 3: Want absolutely, And you say it feels underground, but it's
Speaker 3: got over five hundred and thirty seven million users a year. Okay,
Speaker 3: so there's a lot of people using.
Speaker 1: It because I use it, but I don't know how
Speaker 1: to use. All I do is I type in you know,
Speaker 1: summer street style or you know, brown cross body outfits
Speaker 1: or whatever, and then I get served amazing things that
Speaker 1: I want. But then I've got some boards that are private,
Speaker 1: but I'm not a creator on there. I'm not a
Speaker 1: public pinner. I mean, I don't know. So I'm so
Speaker 1: interested to hear more about how you use it and
Speaker 1: what you've discovered. So I want to ask about some
Speaker 1: trends for this year. Yes, where now officially into twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, because yeah, February's official start. Yeah yeah, So
Speaker 1: what are the biggest fashion trends you've noticed for this
Speaker 1: year so far? Is there anything that's crazy stuff that
Speaker 1: you reckon that's going to stick around even though it's
Speaker 1: the start of the year.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Pinterest is really good because it's got that
Speaker 3: five hundred million people using it every day and you
Speaker 3: do need to use Pinterest every day if you want
Speaker 3: it to really learn who you are and what you like.
Speaker 1: Oh yikes. Yeah, for the purpose of this episode, it's
Speaker 1: just people using it to look at pictures, not uploading.
Speaker 3: No, you don't have to upload. I don't upload anything. Great,
Speaker 3: but you repin and some creators like you could attach
Speaker 3: your Instagram so it automatically uploads.
Speaker 1: Oh hang on, is repin the same as saving it
Speaker 1: to a board? Yes, okay, great, Yeah.
Speaker 3: So then it will learn what you like, what styles
Speaker 3: you like, and then what they do at the end
Speaker 3: of every year, which is like my second favorite day
Speaker 3: of the year compared to like the metgalap they do
Speaker 3: Pinterest predicts, right, so they take everything that they've learned
Speaker 3: about their users, like kind of what they're searching and
Speaker 3: what they're pinning, and they create a whole prediction of
Speaker 3: what the next year's trends are going to be. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, and there's some pretty interesting trends.
Speaker 1: Live tell me.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm going to show you some images from
Speaker 3: the trends that I've found on the Pinterest predicts. If
Speaker 3: you are listening and you'd like to see these images
Speaker 3: as well, you can click a link in our show
Speaker 3: notes and it will take you to the YouTube video. Okay,
Speaker 3: the first one it's called cherry Coded, and you can
Speaker 3: see a pair of cherry shoes here.
Speaker 1: You have made a slide show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a little slideshow for you, because I
Speaker 3: think there's like fifty right, right. They have pretty crazy names,
Speaker 3: and people can get a bit intimidated by the fact that, like,
Speaker 3: you know, you've got like castle Core, You've got all
Speaker 3: these names that sound very intense, but I think the
Speaker 3: success of them comes down the little details.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Yes, this is just cherry coded. So it's basically just
Speaker 3: the cherry color that you think of when you think
Speaker 3: of a cherry.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean there's versions of red that we've had
Speaker 1: really deep burgundep. Then we've had like that almost tomato red,
Speaker 1: cherries somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 3: Cherries in the middle. I think it's increased by two
Speaker 3: hundred percent for Pinterest users when they're searching.
Speaker 1: So we've seen some boots, we've seen it like a
Speaker 1: semi shee stocking.
Speaker 3: I mean, so it's in the details, particularly for this one,
Speaker 3: so it's like accessories, but also a cherry infographic or
Speaker 3: something like that, and on Graphic Ta Tea. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: it's so cute.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't find that's scary, and I feel like
Speaker 1: I've only got pops of red in my wardrobe or
Speaker 1: I've seen enough in stores. I'm into this, yes exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm completely doable. Also because I love color. Pinterest is
Speaker 3: really helpful in that sense because you can see how
Speaker 3: people will use a cherry color like this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're one of the photos. This lovely lady's got
Speaker 1: shoes and tops in the red cherry red and then
Speaker 1: a sky blue duck egg blue pants, which I would
Speaker 1: never walk into my own wardrobe and put together.
Speaker 3: But do you know what interesting about that photo? I
Speaker 3: picked it because on the color wheel, those are both
Speaker 3: opposite each other, so they go together. And that's something
Speaker 3: that you can look at and toasting the show. But like,
Speaker 3: that's also something I'll do on Pinterest too. If I
Speaker 3: don't know what to wear with a certain color, I'll go, Okay,
Speaker 3: i've got this light blue shirt on. I'll go and
Speaker 3: I'll look up light blue color palette and then it
Speaker 3: will give me heats of color palettes and show me
Speaker 3: colors that go with it.
Speaker 1: It's just opened up my mind to the ways I'm
Speaker 1: not using it. And also, like you say, with the algorithm,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any of this, so obviously the vast
Speaker 1: majority are looking at this color, but mine's still just
Speaker 1: in the minimalist vortex I've created for it. The nose,
Speaker 1: I probably won't do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's clever. Yeah, it is very clever.
Speaker 1: Okay, what the next one? Is it gonna get scarier?
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit scarier. The next one is Fisherman aesthetic. Okay,
Speaker 3: Fisherman aesthetic sounds crazy and it can get a little
Speaker 3: bit nuts, but I actually love it because I think
Speaker 3: it's like it's turned the dial up a little bit
Speaker 3: for coastal grammar.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, good.
Speaker 3: It does have certain elements where you're like, oh, that's
Speaker 3: a bit brave. It's using a lot of netting, but thinking.
Speaker 2: Bags, So you know, I'm down with that. Netted bags
Speaker 2: and stripes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a bit like a market bag, sort of
Speaker 1: like you've gone to the fish market.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly like that. And then think Wes Anderson, he
Speaker 3: like the director, and all the little beanies that people
Speaker 3: wear and bright colors. Think that, and then cable knit.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's a little bit nautical, but less I
Speaker 1: have a fancy yacht and more I have a little
Speaker 1: fishing boat, yes exactly, Okay, I'm really into that. And
Speaker 1: some shells. I've seen some shells end of falls, little.
Speaker 3: Bit and waterproof clothing, so think like fries a, bone coats,
Speaker 3: gum boots, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, see, we need you to decode these because if
Speaker 1: I've read this prediction list of what I mean, like Pinterest,
Speaker 1: it's drunk. Okay.
Speaker 3: So the next trend I'm going to show you is
Speaker 3: castle core. What I want you to think about here
Speaker 3: is kind of whimsy tool medieval details but not to
Speaker 3: the extreme.
Speaker 1: Okay, so not a dress up party.
Speaker 3: No, you're not going to bring a sword, You're all good.
Speaker 3: And then also probably like silks and kind of velvet
Speaker 3: corseting details but not like courset.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm feeling it. So it's a bit sort of
Speaker 1: romantic and metal. I get it.
Speaker 3: The necklace I have on today castle core, right intricate
Speaker 3: detailing engravings that feel kind of vintage and like like
Speaker 3: it could.
Speaker 1: Be on a shield that you're fighting.
Speaker 3: Exactly like that. And we've got like a necklace like that.
Speaker 3: So brass, gold, laced up boots, all that kind of
Speaker 3: stuff in the romantic so you're thinking like whimsical and
Speaker 3: like kind of floaty. So I was doing a bit
Speaker 3: of research last night and I saw a lot of
Speaker 3: designers are taking inspiration from this kind of trend. Specifically,
Speaker 3: you know, John Paul Gautier and Isabelle Mornt are really
Speaker 3: pulling little details from it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it. It's like romantic slash scary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want you to talk all things Pinterests from a
Speaker 1: user and from a professional social media person. Absolutely, How
Speaker 1: do you organize your Pinterest boards? I laughed there because
Speaker 1: I up until recently was just screenshotting them and keeping
Speaker 1: them in my phone. That's how old I am. But
Speaker 1: now I have boards I have like I've got a
Speaker 1: trip coming up, so I've got to look somewhat for that.
Speaker 1: I've got some jewelry boards of things I'm getting there.
Speaker 1: How do you organize your boards? And are they public
Speaker 1: or private?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: So, well that's a really good start what you're saying.
Speaker 3: So I actually don't do too many crazy boards. I
Speaker 3: have one for fat, one for jewelry, one for nails. Well,
Speaker 3: I guess I have quite a few. One for makeup,
Speaker 3: one for interiors, like that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: That's fine because I feel like if I file them
Speaker 1: into too many categories, I won't find them again exactly.
Speaker 1: So when I opened my fashion one, I don't know
Speaker 1: what I want to wear, so I want to see
Speaker 1: lots of different options exactly.
Speaker 3: I am so like that as well. You do not
Speaker 3: need to make them public at all. It doesn't impact
Speaker 3: how the algorithm works. It doesn't impact.
Speaker 1: It regularly, so you can just keep it to yourself.
Speaker 3: You can keep it to yourself.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 3: You can share it. What I do like doing is
Speaker 3: sharing it with actual specific friends. So if you wanted
Speaker 3: to share with your husband the jewelry that you've been pinning,
Speaker 3: you can just add him to it.
Speaker 1: So you could, you know, if you were trying to
Speaker 1: style all different color dresses for hens or something, you
Speaker 1: could share it with all the hens or whatever it
Speaker 1: may be. Friends of ours had a party recently where
Speaker 1: there was a joint forties and it was quite dressy
Speaker 1: and they had a dress code and it was really confusing.
Speaker 1: So they just created a Pinterest for it and just
Speaker 1: sent it around and I was like, oh my god, great,
Speaker 1: you know there's all the colors we need to work with.
Speaker 1: But there's dress the options, casual options on dressing person
Speaker 1: male and female. And then it was like, okay, that's
Speaker 1: the vibe, vibe yea, rather than words.
Speaker 3: Exactly, And it's so much like I mean, a picture
Speaker 3: says a thousand words. You know it does. Yes, it's
Speaker 3: a very centralized space because it understands who you are
Speaker 3: and what you like. I have never gotten onto Pinterest
Speaker 3: and looked at a photo and gone, I don't like that.
Speaker 1: No, me neither.
Speaker 3: It's actually the opposite, and it's concerning for my bank account.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: What I also do, which is quite a good tip,
Speaker 3: I do have two fashion boards, right, So I have
Speaker 3: a dream fashion board where I put like Carrie Bradshaw
Speaker 3: running through the street with like mismatched heels, all the
Speaker 3: things that I'm like aspirational, aspirational, and then I have
Speaker 3: the real life stuff where I'm like, okay, I could
Speaker 3: see myself wearing that tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I have versions of those clothes exactly.
Speaker 3: And that makes sure that it keeps both of these
Speaker 3: kind of categories separated, so you're not going into Pinterest.
Speaker 3: So I will go shopping and then I'll go into
Speaker 3: my actual real life board.
Speaker 1: But when you open your whole Pinterest, it gives you
Speaker 1: a bit of both. Yes, so it's kind of helping
Speaker 1: you meld the aspirational you and the real you together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and those two crossover sometimes. Recently one of my
Speaker 3: friends got engaged, so suddenly I'm thinking, Okay, I do
Speaker 3: actually need to buy quite a nice dress. Yes, and
Speaker 3: that's meshing over to my real lifeboard now.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: And then Pinterest does this thing where it will go
Speaker 3: into your boards and you can click more ideas.
Speaker 1: Yes, I just did that today research. It was so
Speaker 1: good and everything I was like, gues more of that.
Speaker 3: Yes, great, exactly. So this makes sure separating both of
Speaker 3: them that if you're looking for your real clothes, it
Speaker 3: will give you real life options. And that is probably
Speaker 3: my top tip.
Speaker 1: That's so clever, it's so good. Now live, when I'm
Speaker 1: scrolling Pinterest, usually I've searched something, say it was beige
Speaker 1: cross body bag because that's what I did yesterday for research,
Speaker 1: and thanks to you, I bought it. So then I'm
Speaker 1: seeing pictures of cool girls on the street whatever. Who
Speaker 1: is uploading those?
Speaker 3: So, like I said, a lot of people connect to
Speaker 3: their Instagram account to Pinterest, so then as soon as
Speaker 3: you post, they're posts gone.
Speaker 1: And then people repin, so that's how it gets really popular.
Speaker 1: Then there's ads, so brands obviously advertise on Pinterest. And
Speaker 1: because I've searched beige crossbody, she might like our bag. Yes,
Speaker 1: so I've seen the street style, I've seen the runway whatever,
Speaker 1: and then I've seen advertisers.
Speaker 3: Yes, so all meshes into each other as well as.
Speaker 1: Sometimes tricks me because I'm like, I like that street style, pick,
Speaker 1: I'll pin it and it takes me to their website. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm not mad about it, I.
Speaker 3: Know, not at all. I mean, it's how I find
Speaker 3: a lot of the girls that I like following on
Speaker 3: Instagram because then I can just go straight to the source.
Speaker 3: You can click on the photo and then you go
Speaker 3: source and I'll take you to the Instagram pace.
Speaker 1: It's nice, but it's not a meta tool, is it.
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: But pines is just nice at sharing and letting you
Speaker 1: go cross platform or as meta doesn't want you to lead.
Speaker 3: Oh, they're very kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: I feel like we need to get you on semi
Speaker 1: regularly to teach us how to use social media. But
Speaker 1: what's the general vibe for Pinterest. If there's someone listening
Speaker 1: that just thought it was photos of people or whatever.
Speaker 1: What can people find on Pinterest? You can find whatever
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 3: Do you know what? All my friends make fun of
Speaker 3: me for this, but I have had a wedding pinteress
Speaker 3: board since I was like.
Speaker 1: Fifteen, and you're ready to go girl all the time.
Speaker 1: It's insane unpinned something that's no longer you.
Speaker 3: You absolutely can. And like the other day, I found
Speaker 3: my dream engagement ring and I was like, oh God,
Speaker 3: I wonder how much this is of eighty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: But that's okay because we pin it and then we
Speaker 1: find the lux t less so we haven't made exactly
Speaker 1: and that's what I did. Okays, no, not yet. I
Speaker 1: love it. So any think that you want inspiration for.
Speaker 1: It could be a table setting, it could be an outfit,
Speaker 1: it could be a holiday yes, because I think also
Speaker 1: what I like it for. I'll type in Paris street
Speaker 1: Style and it'll show me what people are wearing on
Speaker 1: the streets of Paris and then I'm like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: so it's that season or this season, or it's that
Speaker 1: cold when I'm going there, or that hot where I'm
Speaker 1: going somewhere, and it's almost like a street scape view
Speaker 1: but cool it is, and like we don't. I do
Speaker 1: it a lot for travel actually, because like I'm not
Speaker 1: going to lie to myself. A lot of the times
Speaker 1: when I go traveling, I want to get a good photo,
Speaker 1: Like I went to Berlin last year, and I'll look
Speaker 1: up Berlin and then.
Speaker 3: I'll go, Okay, we'll have to go there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that photo.
Speaker 3: It's a good way to do that.
Speaker 4: To live.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I feel like I need to hire
Speaker 1: you as my personal person for all of this. Now
Speaker 1: we know how pinches kind of a mouth make the
Speaker 1: big trends, and it obviously knows me well. So my
Speaker 1: algorithm is different to yours. What if you're trying to
Speaker 1: find a style that isn't super generic. I like fashion,
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty generic. I could be a certain Pinterest board.
Speaker 1: You're eclectic, So how do you find those not everywhere
Speaker 1: pieces or tips or tricks or styling hacks or DIY. Yeah?
Speaker 3: Absolutely so. Like I said, Pinterest has literally everything you
Speaker 3: can think of. And one of the things that I
Speaker 3: also like finding on there a little like art projects
Speaker 3: and DIY projects. One of the big things that I've
Speaker 3: been pinning at the moment is how to beat your clothes,
Speaker 3: so you can add little There's this very famous Chanelle
Speaker 3: shirt that has a beaded car on it and people
Speaker 3: have been diying it, So that's kind of stuff, and.
Speaker 1: That how to info's on there, Yeah, and little infographics
Speaker 1: sort of you.
Speaker 3: Can click the photo and then all take you to
Speaker 3: a video of someone doing it on TikTok or on Instagram, right,
Speaker 3: and you can watch that. And that's the kind of
Speaker 3: stuff that I feel just adds a little bit with
Speaker 3: these trends as well. You can get sucked into it,
Speaker 3: but you can make it feel like you're own with
Speaker 3: these little things.
Speaker 1: Little tip so is pictures less about who you follow
Speaker 1: and just things you like to look at.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, the algorithm works so hard. I don't think I
Speaker 3: follow anyone.
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's not about who you follow. It's just
Speaker 1: you see something that resonates with you an image, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and you pin it somewhere and then it learns your aesthetic,
Speaker 1: whether that's food, fashion, beauty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a personal stylist. Seriously, it's actually magic.
Speaker 3: Like I don't know how they do it me neither,
Speaker 3: but now I want to go play on pin It's
Speaker 3: incredible and like adding little like I'm going to Japan
Speaker 3: in a few months.
Speaker 1: Take me with you. The thrifting, the thrifting.
Speaker 3: So excited.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what have you started pinning for Japan or
Speaker 1: looking at so they are?
Speaker 3: I mean the thrifting is incredible, right.
Speaker 1: So could you research Japanese thrifting on pintes?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Yeah, and then you can find the photos and stuff.
Speaker 3: I actually did a lot of that. They do this
Speaker 3: thing that do you know on a super Tigers.
Speaker 1: Like of course I'm not that uncool. I have two
Speaker 1: pairs for those that don't know. They're very kind of iconic,
Speaker 1: very slim Japanese trainers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everywhere, and you're doing better than me. I don't
Speaker 3: have any so but that is until I go to
Speaker 3: Japan and they have a store where you can buy them,
Speaker 3: and then you can embroider them.
Speaker 1: With initial character picture.
Speaker 3: So they're obviously so trendy. Everyone loves the shoes, so.
Speaker 1: You'll have them from a holiday and they'll be so unique.
Speaker 3: And you can embroider them. I do a lot of
Speaker 3: embroidery too, just on my normal clothes. So if I
Speaker 3: feel like, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: It's so cute and clever, and you can make it special.
Speaker 1: The average person at home is it about to go
Speaker 1: out and buy a whole new wardrobe every season, And
Speaker 1: you know Cozzi lives, So we want to fall back
Speaker 1: in love with the things we've gosh whether or not
Speaker 1: it's learning how to style or how to customize. So
Speaker 1: how can people use Pinterest on their phone and then
Speaker 1: turn around to their wardrobe and fall back in love
Speaker 1: or rediscover or tweak totally.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like what you said with the khaki jacket.
Speaker 3: I would pick an individual item in my closet then
Speaker 3: maybe I haven't worn for a while, but I still
Speaker 3: really like maybe it's a denim jacket, I haven't been
Speaker 3: wearing them lately, and then I would just look it up.
Speaker 3: I'd look it up on Pinterest and I'd scroll through
Speaker 3: and if I find a photo that I like, if
Speaker 3: you click on it, you'll find one hundreds more that
Speaker 3: are like that photo. And you can just find inspiration
Speaker 3: in that sense, and like people are insane, like how
Speaker 3: they put some things together and the things that they
Speaker 3: think about, and it's incredible, like so cool. Without Pinterest,
Speaker 3: I don't think I could put together.
Speaker 1: Half of the outfits. Yeah, it's coming into autumn soon,
Speaker 1: so I'll just do autumn casual or autumn street style.
Speaker 1: None of them are wearing such out there things that
Speaker 1: I don't have something similar, so I'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I actually do like a beige or a cream Maxi
Speaker 1: skirt trends seasonally, but I would have never put it
Speaker 1: with that top. And you might just see people going
Speaker 1: into the season whether they're about to go in, and
Speaker 1: then you just go into your order and find something similar.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And we're really lucky in Australia too because a lot
Speaker 3: of American creators will be creating content in that season
Speaker 3: as we go into it.
Speaker 1: And EU like Europe too, so they're kind of six
Speaker 1: months behind in the best way in that we're about
Speaker 1: to go into the season they've just finished.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Good for sales too, online.
Speaker 4: I know, so you can get heats of Inspira in
Speaker 4: that way.
Speaker 1: It's very expensive.
Speaker 3: How would are these five percent?
Speaker 1: Okay, it's time for Bougie and Budget my Friend Live
Speaker 1: and this week we are obviously still on the Pinterest train.
Speaker 1: So things that we've seen on Pinterest, maybe we've bought them,
Speaker 1: maybe we've been inspired by the look. Maybe we're on
Speaker 1: the wait list, so let's start with our bougies. I'll
Speaker 1: go first. You made me buy by Osmosis yesterday when
Speaker 1: I was researching a bag. It's an Australian brand called
Speaker 1: The Horse. I think we've talked about it on the
Speaker 1: show a really long time ago. I bought the Horse
Speaker 1: Clementine bag. It is oat pebbled leather. It's two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty nine dollars. It's my bougie because someone was
Speaker 1: wearing it really cool, and so I went to go
Speaker 1: to that pin and then I ended up on their
Speaker 1: website and I was like, well, it's for research absolutely.
Speaker 1: So it's a little like Stunny. She's really cute. So
Speaker 1: it's a little bag that you can hold as like
Speaker 1: a hand bag. It is vibes, but then it can
Speaker 1: be a cross body so if you're traveling, and then
Speaker 1: it's got a little flat but not an annoying flap.
Speaker 1: You always have to open your flap to get into it.
Speaker 1: It's just funny, right, thank you. I like that, Oh,
Speaker 1: thank you a lot, because this research costs me two
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy dollars.
Speaker 3: And it's nice to see products like that in the wild.
Speaker 1: Well had heard of the horse but never been served
Speaker 1: it on Instagram. I never really discovered it and t
Speaker 1: so it goes to show that there's so much to
Speaker 1: discover there. What's your bougie?
Speaker 3: So my bougie is something I've already bought as well? No, yeah, three, No,
Speaker 3: it is a pair of pink Solomon's. Those sneakers. They're
Speaker 3: like hiking shoes, yes, but they're very cool and down.
Speaker 3: They're bright pink, is the I don't have the foot
Speaker 3: well sort of, but you know, like I'm.
Speaker 2: Going to google them live, Yeah, give them a Google.
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, they're bright pink. At these cool Now,
Speaker 2: they're pretty cool. Okay, I just got into them. Bloody
Speaker 2: New Balance. They're kind of chunky New Balance.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they're chunky New Balance, but they're so comfortable.
Speaker 3: They are three hundred dollars, which is a big spend,
Speaker 3: but they last forever, completely waterproof and they just kind.
Speaker 1: Of like go where there's so much water, Oh, just
Speaker 1: fishermen pouring all over the place.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what socks would you wear with this pink?
Speaker 3: Look? Honestly, with those, I probably would keep it to
Speaker 3: a plain sock.
Speaker 1: Okay, my budget is just because I really like the imagery.
Speaker 1: It's an Australian brand called Meshki. We've talked about it
Speaker 1: a lot, but I get served it so much on
Speaker 1: Pinterest because I obviously like their aesthetic and I just
Speaker 1: think they do really good images. Because you know, there's
Speaker 1: some retailers that just the model images are so daggy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: then you've got your zaras where she's hanging off a
Speaker 1: cliff upside downholding a dry cleaning and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: I can't see that, whereas Meshki just does cool. It's
Speaker 1: obviously in a studio most of the time, some of
Speaker 1: it sort of street style, and so I get served
Speaker 1: a lot of their stuff.
Speaker 3: Meshki is one of the best brands that I've seen
Speaker 3: using Pinterest. There you go. They always come up when
Speaker 3: I was looking for like wedding guest dresses.
Speaker 1: Well live, I shout, my wedding guest dress for your wedding.
Speaker 1: You have to get married and winter though. It's the
Speaker 1: Meshki Presley contrast knit off the shoulder. It's navy and cream.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the skirt's too cream for a white,
Speaker 1: you know, a wedding.
Speaker 3: Anyway, that looks beautiful. You can also dress that up
Speaker 3: and down. That's a very nice.
Speaker 1: Strit and it's one hundred and eighty nine dollars. I
Speaker 1: love Meshki, but I hadn't seen that until I was
Speaker 1: on Pinterest and I just got served so much of
Speaker 1: this stuff.
Speaker 3: It's so good, that's so beautiful.
Speaker 1: What's your budget?
Speaker 3: My budget is a skirt that I've had to sign
Speaker 3: up for an alert from Verge Girl.
Speaker 1: Oh. I love ViRGE Girl. I get them a lot too,
Speaker 1: but I shop there a lot, so I assumed that
Speaker 1: their cookies are following me. Yeah, I don't even know
Speaker 1: what a cookie is. Can you come back and talk
Speaker 1: to us about that?
Speaker 3: I will, Yes, I can do that, but yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: the same. They follow me too, but I'm not mad
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: Neither follow me girl. I love your cookies. I know,
Speaker 1: what's the skirt like?
Speaker 3: We're going through a trend at the moment where we're
Speaker 3: wearing a lot of sheer skirts.
Speaker 1: We just the zeitgeist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I am the world okay, well maybe
Speaker 2: just in my bubble.
Speaker 1: Well I wasn't sure because you're so much younger than me.
Speaker 1: If you meant like the cool people, But I do people.
Speaker 3: Yes, and this skirt is very sheer.
Speaker 1: I'll describe it because I have seen it too.
Speaker 3: Yes, it is the most stunning. It's quite glitzy. It's
Speaker 3: got a lot of sequence, very sheer and very shit.
Speaker 1: It's nothing like the Fisherman trend, except it does look
Speaker 1: quite naisty.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's probably giving a bit more castle core in
Speaker 3: the sense that it's whimsy cool and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I'm signing up for it too.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is so sheit. I would wear a little
Speaker 3: skirt under it, yes, or you can go oversized shirt,

Speaker 1: knit with a boot and having it.
