Jem Alabi's Picks

I haven't returned an item I've purchased in years. Not because everything I buy is a hit, but because I don't like going to the post office. That being said, my purchases only have one chance to wow me, or they’re headed to the donation bin. I collect all things vintage – cameras, purses, shoes, jewelry – and am passionate about my skin care routine. For me, great shopping goes beyond temporary gratification – it’s a lifestyle. - Jem Alabi, editorial operations associate
