Lux Retail Therapy: Subscription Based Shopping
New York-based start-up Birchbox kicked off the trend of subscription based shopping services that (shop for you) in 2010 by sending women tailored cosmetics samples. Now, with dozens and dozens of new sites that cater to your shopping needs... you can get anything under the moon right to your door step! Here are a few awesome subscriptions that can cost as little as $10 or top $100 a month for luxury items.

Fabletics - Start by taking the “lifestyle quiz,” which will ask you how you usually exercise. Fabletics will suggest looks for you, and you can either sign up to become a VIP member (you’ll be shown new outfits each month) or make a one-time purchase as a regular members.
The Ms. Collection - Start by filling out your style profile. Each month, The Ms. Collection’s stylists will curate a box of 3-5 clothing items and accessories just for you (either a full outfit or a mix of separate pieces). You can keep the items for as long as you’d like, although you won’t be able to receive next month’s box until you’ve returned the previous one. If you decide you want to buy something, you can purchase it at a 40% off discount.
