I'm a creature of habit who lives by a routine. Every morning, I wake up at 5:30 a.m. to drink my coffee slowly and procrastinate going out for a run or heading to a workout class by checking what new items from my saved searches arrived at The RealReal the evening before. Later, when the need for a second or third cup hits me like a ton of bricks, I log onto the secondhand shopping destination's app for a second time. According to lore, fresh arrivals are uploaded twice per day—at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. ET—making my scheduled checks perfectly timed to find everything I want as soon as they hit TheRealReal.com. Not to brag, but it's led to some admittedly epic finds.
In the last two weeks alone, I scored two F/W 24 Tory Burch runway items, both in great condition with tags, for less than $150. Before that, I snagged not one but two tops from my all-time favorite Khaite collection, a pair of never-worn The Row pumps that I'd been eyeing for months, and some vintage Jimmy Choo stiletto boots that I wear at least twice a week every fall and winter. Those are just the items I actually bought. My Obsessions folder is just as stacked with plenty of unbelievable discoveries that are still available. This is the part that got me thinking. Since I'm not supposed to be shopping right now (I went a little too hard at a recent sample sale), why don't I remove the temptation by sharing some of my most impressive in-stock TRR finds? I'll probably regret this, but you won't, especially when your never-worn Prada slingbacks arrive in a few business days and fit perfectly.
Scroll down to buy them (and more secondhand gems) before someone else does.
I've see this Tove top at least once every fashion week since it was released.
I have a similar non-slingback version of these from the same collection and always get compliments on them. The toe detail really makes the shoes.
Buying a Galliano original won't come cheap, but it'll be worth it—trust me.
I actually got this trench at a sample sale last year, and it is truly the best one I've ever owned—and I've owned a lot of trench coats. It's super sturdy and great for rainy days. The hardware is extremely elevated, and I love how it looks when you tie the belt super tight.
Just wow. How beautiful is this Christian Dior vintage slip dress from the '90s?
I've always loved Maryam Nassir Zadeh's knits. They sell out so fast on The RealReal, so I have a saved search for them so I never miss one when it arrives.
This '90s Prada top is perfect for summer paired with A-line skirts, cigarette pants, or even just jeans.
If you, like me, are starting to reincorporate leopard print in your wardrobe but don't want to go too far, a Celine pencil skirt like this is a great route to take.
I've been wanting these slingback flats for what feels like so long. Hailey Bieber can convince me to buy anything.
This adorable Peter Pan collar shirt from Tory Burch is currently on sale on the brand's website for just under $400. If you're a size 2 or XS, I say go for the $40 version instead.
I'm such a sucker for good vintage-looking white jeans in the summertime.
I was recently on a press trip with Marina Larroudé of the shoe brand Larroudé, and she kept wearing the most gorgeous pair of Alaïa sunglasses. They were so chic I immediately started a saved search on The RealReal for similar styles.
This beaded tank dress is so '90s rom-com—I'm obsessed.
If you love Prada's 1995 Re-Edition bag, this one's for you. Here is a far more affordable alternative that just so happens to be the original version of the reissued purse that was beloved and often carried by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.
If you don't want a luxury timepiece that everyone else has, try this La Doña de Cartier style. It's so unique. This one, in particular, has been checked by The RealReal and meets the brand's expected timekeeping standards.
The color, hourglass shape, and sheer details on this Hervé Léger dress make it practically regret-proof.
This top is so good I own it in two colors—red and black velvet—and still would buy this white poplin version if it arrived in my size.
Chanel for $156? Don't let this opportunity slip away.
This new Andiamo crossbody bag is going viral and selling out everywhere this year.
If you're in the market for a black blazer, don't want to spend a ton of money, and still want great quality, try this Sportmax option instead of something from a fast-fashion brand.
Our editorial director, Lauren Eggertsen, wore this feather-detail Prada skirt during Milan Fashion Week, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
I know they're controversial, but thong sandals are indeed back.
This easy white halter dress will get so much wear this summer.
Take your basic-sleeveless-top collection to new levels with this bright-red Alaïa option that's less than $150.
Funnel necks were huge on the fall/winter 2024 runways—just like they were back in the 2000s when this Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche cropped trench was first released.
This is an investment you'll get so much out of. Nothing Elsa Peretti created for Tiffany Co. will ever go out of style, but the Bone Cuffs are especially timeless.
This Phoebe Philo multicolored skirt has my whole heart.
This chocolate-brown double-satin dress from Prada's S/S 22 collection is nothing short of perfect.
A classic choice.
A Dior summer sundress? Say less.
I think about this Khaite dressed, named Shelly, far too often. The sleeves are so stunning.
This vintage Chanel brooch will dress up any lapel.
You can't buy a genuine leather blazer new for $180, but you can buy a high-quality Italian Bally version from The RealReal.
The fit of this red Proenza Schouler tee is so elevated and unique.
I don't know a single fashion person who doesn't want a pair of these S/S 22 Prada shorts at least a tiny bit.
A classic summer shoe choice.
This Alaïa blazer fits like a glove.
