Ok, so I’m about to get very honest with a lot of you. A lot of WHO bloggers talk about revolves around who we can link to for commission dollars. In many ways it makes sense, because it takes me a few hours to write these posts, so if I am selling products to you, I get to see a (small, teeny) bit of profit off of the commission money. BUT the sad truth about this is that it leaves out a lot of small businesses, or businesses that don’t work with sites like RewardStyle. A really big example is the brand Zara – they’ve never used Rstyle, and therefore if I purchase something cute from there and share it with all of you, you can shop it, but I make $0 commission. So, as a business strategy, most bloggers will avoid shopping there, which makes sense. But today I wanted to pop on here and share a few brands that DO NOT work with RewardStyle, but that I truly love and gravitate toward for the Fall months because they have great products! So here goes!
Kiel James Patrick captures the essence of the Fall and Holiday season. Thei pieces are generally preppy, but with a vintage flair to them. The tags embody that glorious feeling of finding a perfect vintage sweater in a thrift store. Each year they create a few fair isle type sweaters that are a MUST HAVE. I’ve already been eyeing this apple sweater! This year they came out with sweaters for the entire family, which is right up my alley, so I see some matching with Hudson in my future!

Unique Vintage is basically just that, a site that is similar to Modcloth where you can find unique vintage-inspired pieces. I generally find a lot of the styles too “outdated” for me, but during the Fall season they have the most AMAZING Fall fashion. From pumpkin purses, to skeleton onesies, they have it all. They hands-down have the largest selection of Halloween pieces that you can also wear out to dinner or drinks with friends.
You may have heard of Lulu’s, because they did a pretty big influencer push last Fall, but they are another site that doesn’t get enough love because the affiliate links do not work. They have really great, unique Fall pieces, and they carry a lot of brands that you can only find in smaller local boutiques.
I partnered with Vici about two years ago, which is how I originally found out about them. I see that they do work with a few bloggers to showcase their new arrivals every week – they’re really great at constantly adding new pieces to the store, but they also have somewhat of a cult following, and the best pieces always sell out pretty quickly (you’ve been warned!) If you’re looking for affordable and styling Fall pieces, they’re a great place to check!
Here’s links to some of my favorite pieces at each of these shops! Nope, they aren’t affiliate, I just wanted to share how awesome some of the pieces are!
