Hey everyone! I studied the runway & scoured the internet for all the street style trends so you don’t have to.

Second Hand, Thrifted, Re-sale, Pre-owned or Pre-loved are words often used to describe purchasing goods that were previously owned. The concept has existed for ages since people discovered the fun of Garage and Estate Sales, Antique Shops, Flea Markets, Vintage, and Luxury Consignment Stores.

During the extended time of quarantine, I have been left with plenty of time to do a lot of cleaning around my room. This has lead me to find some little, but still relevant, holes in my wardrobe that would be considered “basic”, including a lot of blacks and whites.

These past few months have been quite something to bear, especially not being able to go out and enjoy the thrill of finding those thrifted gems all around town. After what seemed like the longest eternity I’ll ever experience, I was beyond happy when I found out that the Goodwills around the San Antonio area were finally being reopened to the public.

Hi everybody! This is Eileen, an amateur thrifting-loving girl that loves going on adventures with her friends and loves having coffee every single morning before anything else. This month, I really wanted to talk about the different brands that have used an “eco-friendly” tag on recent lines to promote their products and how to counteract them.

Hey everyone!! For this month's blog post I want to talk about HOW I thrift. A lot of people understand the “why” behind thrifting for sustainability but find the switch to thrift intimidating. And, I totally get that! Thrifting is different but in a lot of ways that is what makes it so much fun.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always savored the art of hunting for deals. My mom has always thought me to save my money up and to this day. The VERY. FIRST. PLACE. I got to in any regular store I go to is the sale section. It is not unusual for me and my family to be seen at the yard sales around town and bargaining around at the flea markets.
