1. Remember: 7:18 a.m.

"Most Shopbop customers know that we launch new items daily Monday through Friday. What’s even better to know is when this new product goes live. Monday through Friday at 7:18 a.m. ET, we upload hundreds of new items—honestly can't think of a better reason to wake up early."

2. Don't forget the hearts.

"I use our heart functionality all the time. Each morning I go through our What's New tab and heart the items I'm loving. From there, I head to My Hearts to edit down to the items I really want. It's a great way to keep everything in one place."

3. Always sort.

"Everyone at the office has their own Shopbop sort strategy. For me, I always sort by size, then category, then by price and leave all of the color options in to find the right selection I am looking for."

4. Don't forget to check the size description.

"We take sizing seriously. We measure all items on Shopbop to give the best size up, size down, and true to size recommendations. This always helps me when I'm trying out a new brand's fit."
