How do you use your Obsessions board?
I use it more like someone might use Pinterest. It’s my inspiration board — I don’t usually bother with sizes or even whether it’s sold or not! I want to pull up my Obsessions and see a visual history of my favorite things, and get inspiration for sales images or OOTDs!
Favorite thing about Obsessing?
I love going back to find something has sold and imagining who bought it. I feel like I have style sisters walking around the world; they just snapped it up before me!

How do you use your Obsessions board?
I use my Obsessions board as a way to pin things that I want, and track what I’m waitlisting. It’s also my own trend board for things that I’d like to see in my wardrobe that I feel I’m currently lacking. Even if I don’t end up with the exact thing on my Obsessions board, I’m always looking at it for inspiration.
Favorite thing about Obsessing?
My favorite thing about the Obsessions feature is that it’s so easy to do and manage. You can be scrolling through any sale and Obsess as many items as you want and you instantly have your own board to refer back to that you can manage in any way you want.

How do you use your Obsessions board?
I use it to bookmark items that i want to come back to later, but I also find that there’s something strangely satisfying about clicking the red Obsessions heart. If I’m low on funds and shouldn’t be buying something fun but completely impractical — this Rochas clutch, for instance — Obsessing it helps my shopping itch.
Favorite thing about Obsessing?
I love that I can tell if my Obsessions are on sale! It’s a great way to keep track of my favorites, so I can snap them up quickly if they get marked down.
