J Crew Spring Sale Picks

 J Crew is having a 40% off sale for their spring event and I've been loving their stuff lately! Here are just a handful of my picks if you're curious or in the mood to shop! 


Why I’m Obsessed with ShopMy (and You Probably Will Be Too)

Let’s be honest — affiliate platforms can feel like a members-only club where you need 10k followers, a blue checkmark, super active community, and maybe a secret handshake to get in. šŸ˜… But then cue the heavenly music — I found ShopMy, and it changed everything. If you didn't already know (or haven't read my disclaimer) I use affiliate links on this site and although I know some people hate them, it's an easy way for me to make a little something (seriously, it's very little most times...like $5 or less) for the work I do on the backend searching for these finds at no extra cost to you (and it's only if you buy something!).

Here’s why I’m a tiny bit obsessed (okay, a lot obsessed):

1. Literally anyone can sign up.

Whether you’ve got 100K followers or you’re just starting to dip your toes into content creation, ShopMy doesn’t gatekeep. No "influencer" title required, no minimum number of followers, no hoops to jump through — just you, your taste, and a link that earns you commission when someone shops your faves. Simple as that.

2. Your success is based on effort, not follower count.

Unlike other platforms that prioritize size over hustle, ShopMy actually rewards consistency and engagement. The more effort you put in — curating your storefront, sharing your links, staying active — the more opportunities you unlock (and yep, more $$ too). It’s truly a “you get out what you put in” vibe, and I’m here for it.

3. It’s not just about clothes.

Sure, you can share your favorite outfits, but ShopMy works for so much more. Think skincare must-haves, camera gear, home decor, books, that one lip balm you can’t stop talking about — if you love it and it’s shoppable, you can probably add it to your storefront.

4. It’s ridiculously easy to use.

The dashboard is clean, intuitive, and not at all intimidating (bless). You can link products, track clicks and commissions, and even create collections — all without needing a degree in digital marketing. šŸ™Œ

5. It feels personal, not salesy.

ShopMy makes it super easy to share recommendations in a natural, authentic way. It’s more “here’s the stuff I genuinely love and use” and less “buy this because I’m supposed to promote it.” And honestly? That just feels better — for you and your audience.

The Bottom Line:

If you’ve been sleeping on affiliate marketing because it felt too exclusive or complicated, ShopMy is your new BFF. It’s approachable, empowering, and actually fun to use — and it turns your real recommendations into real income. Win-win.
