Haute World was launched in 2009, when I began documenting some of the more note-worthy brick & mortar boutiques I came across during my travels. Since then, this blog has evolved into a cross between a travel and fashion site, with traffic and subscribers increasing steadily. The site focuses on city impressions, must-see shopping destinations, the hottest exhibitions and anything else that's interesting, international and worth posting about. Because the content on this site is both unique and original, yet covers every aspect of fashion and lifestyle ranging from vintage to luxury, Haute World's readership spans a variety of age groups and nationalities. What all readers have in common is a passion for fashion and shopping.

Haute World's editorial themes include store reviews, recaps of exhibitions (usually fashion-related), city impressions, store window features/visual merchandising, press days and special events or fashion shows. 

The following advertising opportunities are currently available:

Banner ads: In the right sidebar or the footer. Please note that the maximum width of the sidebar is 250px, while the footer's maximum width is 960px. Ad rates depend on the size, duration and placement of the banner. Please contact me for exact pricing, detailing the specs of the banner you wish to place.

Text-link ads: To be placed in either sidebar. Rates depend on duration and placement of the link.

Giveaways: Giveaways will be considered provided the product is relevant to the readers, is related to fashion, interiors or beauty and can easily be tied into the editorial content of the site. Since most of Haute World's readers aren't just US or Canadian residents, preference will be given to giveaways that are open internationally.

Store and Product Reviews: If you have a boutique you would like to see featured, please feel free to pitch your idea to me. Stores must focus on fashion (clothing, shoes, accessories), homewares, design, art or anything else you can find in the 'Shopping List' category in the right sidebar. In addition, I would need free access to the boutique and have the ability to take multiple photographs of the interiors. I won't review stores I haven't had the chance to visit myself. I will also gladly review products, but only if these can be viewed in a store setting, in an exhibition, during an event or any other 'real-life' scenario. I will not review product samples sent to me by mail. Because I don't accept payment for reviews, companies may not influence the content of such posts in any way. Should you wish to have specific links or keywords placed in an article, please read the below paragraph on 'Sponsored Posts' instead.

Sponsored Posts: I generally don't accept sponsored posts, as very few sponsors write about the niche cateogry Haute World happens to be in. If you wish to feature an article directly related to a brick & mortar boutique, travel desination (including hotels, spas etc.) or fashion event, please feel free to contact me. I do not accept posts that aren't related to fashion or travel and will give preference to companies who's products I like or am familiar with. I also prefer not to feature articles that solely highlight online businesses (including e-tailers, online travel agencies etc.), as the blog's focus should remain on real-life destinations. Pricing depends on the style and length of the article. Please note that sponsored posts will be clearly marked as such and I reserve the right to turn down any offers from companies who's products I wouldn't consider purchasing.

If you wish to take advantage of any of the above mentioned advertising opportunities, require more information or would like to receive a media kit, please contact me

I look foward to hearing from you - and thank you for considering Haute World as an advertising partner.
