If you’re following along on Instagram and Snapchat (username WAITINGONMARTHA), you’ll know that I’m currently in England (!) for the week.  But because the trip was short notice, and with everything else going on, I had no time to properly shop for the cooler weather that jumping the pond would bring.  So in order to see London and explore the English countryside properly, I had to figure out how to fill my suitcase with cozy sweaters, boots, hats and jackets.  Enter Trunk Club

If you’re not familiar with Trunk Club yet, I’d suggest you become familiar because it is a game-changer.  In short, Trunk Club is a personal styling service for women and men, and while it’s perfect for those with no time to shop (me), it’s also perfect for those looking for a little guidance in building a well-stocked wardrobe.  When you sign up, you’re paired with a personal stylist who curates a “trunk” of clothing and accessories based on your style and sizes with major brands such as Vince, Theory, Joie, Equipment, Splendid, Current / Elliott and more.

I know what you’re thinking: that sounds pretty amazing, but that also sounds like a lot of pressure to buy.  But here’s the beauty, Trunk Club is NOT a subscription service like similar wardrobe styling brands.  Which means there are no subscription fees, shipping is always free, and most importantly…no pressure.  I loved my stylist; she was anything but “salesy”, and she hand-picked some great pieces that really fit my personal style.

So here’s how it worked: after talking with my stylist she put together a trunk that I was able to review before it even shipped out, ensuring that I was receiving pieces that I was interested in purchasing. Once the trunk arrived I was given five days to try on the items from my trunk, with free return shipping for all of the items I didn’t wish to purchase.  The whole process was seamless and painless, and at the end of the day I pulled the trigger on jeans, boots, and the gorgeous DVF red coat!  

Lastly, and because I’m such a sucker for packaging, I might add that Trunk Club’s trunk packaging is on point.  Everything was perfectly folded and wrapped in ribbon in the cardboard trunk (just waiting to be Instagrammed!).  Opening my trunk felt a little like Christmas morning, unwrapping a bundle of goodies…it really is an experience.  Truly, MKR

  • I am an avid on-line shopper. I just don’t have the time to shop in stores or I procrastinate. I love the idea of connecting with a stylist! I will definitely check it out!

    Many thanks for sharing,
