A Brief Update

Hi!

I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the summer as much as I am! Living at the beach this summer has been an absolute dream, and it has given me some much-needed relaxation.

As many of you know, my passion for fashion runs deep. I've always been one of those girls who refuses to rewear an outfit (something I’m still working on). My sophomore year of high school, I started shopclairescloset to sell some of the clothes I knew I’d never wear again. Buying and selling clothes became my pride and joy, especially during the turbulent times of COVID-19. This account became a consistent outlet and a way to connect with all of you.

For three years, I worked to build a strong relationship with my followers. When I started college, I realized I wanted to pursue something in the fashion industry. That’s when I rebranded to curatedby_claire, a more serious platform to share my favorite finds without having to buy them. This new direction allowed me to connect with you all in a more meaningful way.

About a year in, my account was banned due to copyright issues. It was a tough time, but thanks to my loyal followers, I quickly regained my footing with a new account. After months of legal battles and countless attempts to contact Instagram, I finally got my original account back! I resumed business as usual and used my second account as a rental platform.

Unfortunately, another hurdle has come my way. Last Saturday, I received an email notifying me that my account was hacked. It’s been a frustrating and challenging time, but I’m doing everything I can to get back to you all. For now, I’ll be posting updates on my website.

Thank you all for your continued support. I truly don’t know what I’d do without you. Hopefully, I can resolve this issue ASAP and get back to sharing my favorite finds with you.
