CLOTHING WITH CONSCIENCE

You can support their efforts to dress the public fabulously and sustainably by shopping their lines at True Fashionistas, Florida’s largest consignment store. Then start the conversation. You never know who’s listening.

HOME: CANDLES? YES, CANDLES!

Candles might not be the most immediate thing you think of when it comes to decorating your True Fashionista home. While making the perfect birthday or holiday gift for a new friend (Everyone loves candles! Can't go wrong.), candles have become a favorite accent piece over time. You also get a two for one with most, where the packaging can be as beautiful as the scent. You'll have to resist the temptation to light it!

HISTORY OF MICHAEL KORS – CELEBRATING 40 YEARS

You know the brand, which in 2021 is celebrating its 40th anniversary. You most likely own at least one bag emblazoned with his signature chunky MK initials. But what are the origins of Michael Kors, the Project Runway judge whose name has become so synonymous with haute couture that you don't even pause to think about his regular critical views on the show? Just give me a pair of True Fashionista Michael Kors sunglasses from Naples' best consignment store, and all will be right in the world.

ESTATE SALES = CONSIGNMENT DOLLARS

Face it. It’s more than likely you’ll need to make an estate sale at some point in your life as older loved ones move or pass on. Here’s a secret you’ll want to know: having someone like True Fashionistas consignment store Naples involved is a valuable way to make a lot of money with much less hassle. We’re not talking about your average homemade sign-on-the-corner garage sale, either. Estate sales cover pretty much everything in the house and, quite often here in southwest Florida, that will include several high-ticket pieces as well.

MET GALA 2021 WRAP-UP

Fashion's biggest night out came roaring back this year, canceled in 2020, and then only slightly postponed from its traditional May date. Nevertheless, the Met Gala, Metropolitan Museum of Art's signature True Fashionista event, returned this September, on a Monday at least, to the delight of all who appreciate fashion for the art that it truly is. How great is it that offerings from many designers who dressed this year's cavalcade of "It" peeps can be found at True Fashionistas, the best designer consignment store?

HISTORY OF DIANE VON FÜRSTENBERG

It’s time to focus the True Fashionistas spotlight on the well-rounded life of Diane von Fürstenberg. We’re confident that shoppers of True Fashionistas, Naples' best consignment store, would love to know about the inventor of the iconic wrap dress. As it turns out, she’s so much more than that. Ms. Von Furstenberg has spent the latter part of her life upping her Third Act game.
