Online Shop Exposed: Bona Drag

I like to do most of my shopping online. Not because I’m a recluse. Just because I like getting things other people don’t have to make me exclusive. And the rest of the time I shop at H&M, Forever 21, and Topshop. So, yeah. There goes that little bit about being exclusive… Anyway, every time I come across a new online store, I happily bookmark it feeling like it’s ‘my little secret.’ But now I feel like being magnanimous. Sharing is caring, right?

So here’s my first reveal– Bona Drag. They carry the labels Scout, Judi Rosen, Sophomore, Obesity and Speed, Samantha Pleet, and accessory lines Bliss Lau and Pamela Love. And while recently browsing around the store for stuff I don’t need, I came across a cute little floral dress by Rachel Antonoff called “The Arfin”– which surprise surprise, I found out is named after former Missbehave editor, Lesley Arfin. Here’s the best part, though: when you order anything from Bona Drag, they send you their special mixed CD of the season, which actually has some good stuff on it (meaning, I played it a handful of times before moving on). While I’m in the spirit of generosity, I’ve gone ahead and pre-screened your purchases. You’re welcome!

So Hot Right Now: Harnesses

Last summer while browsing around Etsy, I made an impulse harness purchase on I Heart Norweigian Wood (the one pictured above on Rumi from Fashion Toast) because it looked too amazing to pass up, but I’ve always felt way too shy to wear out– since it inevitably adds an S&M/dominatrix factor to any outfit. Because of that, it’s been timidly hiding in the back of my closet all winter. But now that I’ve seen a couple people confidently rocking them, I think it’s finally time to stop being a baby and just bust it out.
