Wear This Not That

Today, we are lucky to be joined by the queen herself, Greivy. We reminisce about our favorite memories together before COVID, mostly food-related.

Plus, Greivy reveals the journey she took to become an ultra-influencer. Becoming an influencer was a complete mistake. One of her photos was reposted by Lancôme, and it catapulted her into the public eye. Now, Greivy loves to share moments of her colorful life.

Then, Greivy explains how being a fashion influencer works. With 48,000 followers, Greivy has loads of brands reaching out to her. It's not size; it's how you use it. When people see her relatable content, then brands trust her. Fortunately, COVID hasn't slowed Greivy's fashion and lifestyle influencer work.

Stay tuned as Greivy explains why she's honest with brands, we reveal our biggest fashion crime pet peeves and the importance of creating relatable content.

About Greivy

GREIVY is a New York-based lifestyle influencer with a love for all things bold and glamorous. On a daily basis, she fills her Instagram feed with a realistic highlight reel of her life—whether that may be a photo of innovative beauty products, a look inside a fashion preview, or a hotel tour from a family trip.

The mission of Greivy's platform is to inspire others to rethink the normal standards of beauty in all aspects of life.

Social media started out as a hobby for Greivy, who began gaining a following for posting her everyday food, travel, and family activity. She later focused more on her passion for beauty, and it wasn't until Lancôme reposted her photo on Instagram in January 2018. She gratefully took it as a calling and began to work tirelessly on her online presence to make it a viable career doing what she loves: sharing all-around lifestyle experiences with a dash of enthusiasm. Since then, Greivy has been featured in Shape, InStyle, Teen Vogue, The Cut, Nylon, Marie Claire, Elle, Bustle, Fashionista, Daily Front Row, Refinery29, and more.

I mean who doesn't need stretch leopard velvet pants?

Nolan (of course) found the perfect pair for Holly; it's like they were made for her. Holly & Nolan visit Nordstrom Rack in Manhattan, which is a whole different level than a Midwestern or Southern Nordstrom Rack. FULL of designer pieces and deals o' plenty, they acted like it was the last sale on earth. Holly talks about the most beautiful Valentino dress she found at Nordstrom Rack, but didn't get it because, well, breathing is important.

After an hour in the dressing room trying on clothes, they didn't find any real winners. You need to love something when you buy it......just because it's on sale, doesn't mean you need to get it.

Plus, we saw a significant fashion crime–she literally had see-through bike shorts. That was NOT okay. And it's a lot before noon. #getamirror #wecantunseethat

Later, we speak about the pleasure of feasting our eyes on The Sandy Schreier Collection at The Met. (TO DDIIIEEE).

Plus, we end by yelling at Nolan (weekly) about having too many middle aged women friends and that he needs to suck it up and make some friends his own age. He tries, then he just ends up being better friends with said friend's mom instead. Sigh.
