The Rich Bitch Edit

It's Fr-slay! Plus, the couple of-the-moment 😬

Yesterday, my friend Amy was wearing an effortlessly chic shirt from Zara. She told me she got it in a summer haul, all online. I blinked. You can actually buy things from the Zara website?

Every time I’ve marched over there, it reads more like a mood board than a shoppable catalog.

We laughed, and then I blurted: “I wish Zara had a section called The Rich Bitch Edit — a curated rack of what the rich bitches are buying!”

I follow a creator on Instagram — @dvdoublevanilla — who interviews women on the streets of Paris, Milan, Toronto, and New York about their fashion sense. She’s a walking Vogue glossary. She can clock an Hermès Kelly in passing and call out the stats — “Étoupe leather, 32cm, Palladium hardware!”

She’s not interested in the edgy streetwear girlies. She’s exclusively seeking big - label -heavy, generational-wealth-energy. The Cartier-love-bangle is a staple amongst these gals. But there is one brand that is consistently peppered in between the high-end labels.

What brand is always getting called out as the low in a high/low ‘fit you ask?

It’s not J.Crew, not Banana Republic, or Gap. It’s Zara. Very often it’s specifically a Zara pant.

Of course, when I make my way into Zara I’m always looking around trying to figure out what’s what. All I want to do is sidle up to a sales associate and whisper, “Guide me to the rich bitch pants.”
