What is a Retail Diary?

Instead of writing into a journal no one reads, I share all my musings here. I read a lot about retail, fashion and merchandising and have a lot of thoughts. All of the most interesting and need to know articles and thoughts get saved here. All with a pop culture lens. Retail Diary was once described as WWD meets UsWeekly and I love that. Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter. Never miss an update.

Who is Sarah Shapiro?

Currently: Retail Strategist and Consultant. Personal Shopper to family and friends - I’m the friend that keeps sending you links and articles of what you will love. LinkedIn and my personal website here.
Past: Bloomingdale’s, Williams-Sonoma, Brandless, Clorox. Fashion Accessories Entrepreneur and Designer, Consultant. (Merchandising)

On a personal note, I live in the Bay Area with my husband and 2 kids. I love living in CA but miss NYC (ask me for my chocolate chip cookie bakery ranking.) Most days you can catch me starting my day with Peloton and a Future workout, and fueling with Diet Coke during my busy day. I wind down reading the latest Fiction novel I’ve downloaded to my Kindle from Libby, bought at my favorite local book store or reading a magazine cover to cover.

How about you?

I want to learn more about you - feel free to reach out. Let me know what you’d like to hear more about.
