Loving your Lemons

You know that feeling when you stumble across a website that you know you are going to have a long relationship with? You know, like when you first saw Facebook (if you can remember that far back) or more recently when first got lost in the beauty of Pinterest. It is that magical excitement of all that is to be. And when you see that the site is still in beta? Thrilling!
So I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when I first dove into LemonCrate. It is a shopper's wonderland. Literally, you can shop for hours in the comfort of your own home with your coffee and slippers, or in your office Monday morning when the week has become too real already. You can scroll forever and never run out of gorgeous shoes and sassy sunglasses to drool over. You can customize as you go and mark items as 'love this' or search for similar peep toe heels. Or you can just create your own search by color, price, brand, whatever. But unlike slogging through google shopping or Zappos it's fun! The website is sleek and stunning and incredible addictive.

As if this couldn't get any better when you do find an item you have to add to your closet you can pull up the price history. You can see all the stores carrying that perfect clutch and what they are asking for as the purchase price. Some items even give you the lowest price in recent history so you can plan out when to make your big purchase. And if you can't make up your mind you can easily send it to your girlfriend for her feedback. It's the complete shopping experience but without the lines and the hassle of a department store. It has the boutique feel we all crave, but you can compare earrings from different boutiques. Genius. 

As I said it is still in beta so not all features are on every item but its getting there. Plus, the best part of beta is giving feedback on the features you want to see. I know you're still upset about being the last person in your group to start pinning so here is your chance to get ahead of the curve. Get out there and start loving this at LemonCrate!
