I plan to use it to shop all the sales I care about, all in one place. I have Threads for my favorite brands and my favorite stores so instead of having to hunt all over, I’m going to shop all everything right from Threads.

Introducing Shop It To Me Threads, A New Way to Shop: YOUR Way
A note from our Founder/CEO, Charlie Graham:
Since I launched Shop It To Me in the summer of 2005, I have been passionate about building the world’s best online personal assistant for shopping. Our first product, Salemail, was a huge improvement over what was available at the time. But even then, I knew we could do better.
That’s why I am so excited today to announce the public beta release of our new product, Shop It To Me Threads. It’s the culmination of five years of work and I’m convinced it will revolutionize the way you shop for clothing.
Central to Shop It to Me Threads is our belief that every member is an individual — with individual preferences, individual ideas, individual ways we want to shop. You may love clothing but you do not always love the same things your mom loves or your Facebook friends love.
We understand that and we designed Shop It To Me Threads to give you a completely individualized experience – one that will be different from everyone else’s because you can customize it to be just for you. You tell us what you love and just like a great personal shopping assistant, we give you updates on the things that are most important to you.
We believe in a different model – one that is simpler and more transparent: we ask you what you what you want… and then we deliver it.
Isn’t that what a personal shopper should do?
And while, we are asking, one more thing:
If you noticed above, I said Threads is in “beta”. Threads has tremendous potential and we are still at the very beginning of what it can become. We are making it public now because we want you involved in its development. Tell us what you love and hate about it, so we can make changes and improvements, and deliver on our vision of bringing you the world’s best personal shopping assistant.
As you use it, if you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know at charlieg@shopittome.com.

Happy Shopping!

Shop It To Me girls fashion challenge: back to basics
See what the stylish Shop It To Me gals donned when given the challenge to create a look with a timeless basic — a plain white tee.
Vanessa (left): I went for the comfortable look accessorized with belt/watch. Favorite Sweater – Vince, La Mer watch, Zara belt, Dolce vita peep toe wedge
Ilana (right): Aqua white tee, Loehmann’s blazer, J Brand jeans, Michael Kors watch, Gap loafers
Tamra (left): This was an easy and comfortable outfit that I could walk far distances in (thanks Banana Republic ballet flats) … and hide my baby bump :)
Kelly (right): I styled my white tee from BCBG with black cuffed chinos from Gap, booties from Hive and Honey, my favorite necklace from Lulu Frost and some bangles. I like to dress up simple classic pieces with edgier accessories.
Caitlin (left): Urban Outfitters white tee, Gap jeans, J.Crew field jacket, Report booties
Maurissa (right): H&M white tee, Kate Spade necklace, Young Fabulous & Broke maxi skirt, Steve Madden boots… and a “modeling” pose gone all sorts of wrong
Natalie: White tee, skinnies, leather jacket, oxfords. Super-simple combo that never fails.
Need to refresh your basic white tees? Here are a few options we’re smitten with:
From left: Madewell tee $38.50 | Rag & Bone tee $66.50 | James Perse tee $52.50 | C&C California tee $40.60
For ways to find all of these brands and more, join Shop It To Me now!

Shop It To Me Just Got Even Better!
Not everyone shops the same way. We understand that, and we’ve redesigned Salemail with a new personalization option that lets you decide how you want your sales news organized: by retailer, by category, or by brand. After all, your personal shopping assistant should suit your personal shopping style.
Update your preference with a simple click here. Just select the organization method you prefer, which will take effect for your next Salemail alert! And don’t worry, if you ever change your mind you can always click the link at the top of your next Salemail or log on to Shop It To Me and change your organization preference again under “Your Account Settings”.
At Shop It To Me, we’ve always had one goal: to make it effortless for you to find the best prices on the clothes and accessories you want in the sizes you need. We hope you’ll agree that this new feature makes it quicker and easier for you to find exactly what you love.

Shop It To Me Staffers: Meet Caitlin!
We’re excited to introduce the newest member of our Shop It To Me team — Caitlin! As our marketing intern (and childhood friend of Ilana, our office manager), she’s rapidly filling her days with exciting marketing projects, learning the ropes around our super-cool HQ and keeping up with our collectively odd sense of humor (or perhaps she’s just being polite). Get to know her more…
What are some items you keep on your desk at work that keep you sane during the day?
My planner. It helps me keep track of all the different things I have going on. Whether it be work or social commitments, it gives me one place to organize it all and not worry about forgetting anything.
If you could have one time-saving super power, what would it be and why?
Insta-cleaning. I love when things are neat and organized but I find that when I’m busy I rarely have the time to clean as thoroughly as I would like. If I could snap my fingers and have things instantly organized my life would be amazing!
What’s your favorite recent purchase?
My green Lacoste Melbourne sunglasses. When I bought my Ray Ban Aviators I was a die hard fan, but these shades have become my new staple. I like that they’re more original than the classic aviators and go with almost anything.
Do you have any tricks when it comes to making your commute less painful?
Good music. I try to update my iTunes pretty frequently so that I always have new music to get me excited for the day.
