The Art of Slow – Zapato Sanchez
Our shoes are perhaps the most important item of our wardrobe if we consider how much we rely on them for support and for getting us through our day from work to drinks to nightlife or even for travel. Our outfits can be dressed to the nines and our shoes could equally be as complimentary but if ...

The Lost Art of Slow – A Sensual Practice
The lost art of slow is a theme I’ve been thinking about exploring and bringing into light for awhile. The inspiration for this post came to me from a few sources but also because I began to realize a few ways in which I incorporate slow living into my lifestyle but also ways in which I wan...

Favourite Preloved Finds 2016
Another successful year of thrifting is in the books and I’m reflecting on the finds of 2016 and anticipating where this next year will take me. I’m still feeling the magic of the new year or perhaps it’s just my year of the Rooster energy brewing! I have no particular number or...

Value Village – December 2016 Part III
Thrifting post Christmas is a pleasant experience, I had never seen the store so clean and some sections were almost bare! But fret not, the staff were bringing out many items as I was there so it could be a good time to go, to get the fresh picks! Once the Christmas season is done, the thrift st...

Value Village – December 2016 Part II
Lately I’ve been thrifting about every two weeks as I not only enjoy it but also am putting more care into buying for sourcing so that everything I buy is especially curated. We all have our routines when thrifting and I’ll put everything I’m interested in into my basket and the...

The past few years that I’ve been posting my green beauty favourites at the end of the year, I select a couple of favourites as a top 5 or top 3. But this year, I have no set number, just a small collection of some products I’ve loved and why I think you will love them too. The follow...

Value Village – December 2016
I love thrift shopping more and more. It just becomes my secret (not so secret) place to go to debrief. Lately, I’ve been finding things not only just for myself but also for friends as well as sourcing to sell so I’ve been spending a bit more time there and giving more and more care ...

What’s in my preloved bag?
Women tend to have an on going laugh about the things we find in our purses. Our bags become an abyss of treasures and memories – I’m pretty sure I currently have glow sticks from last night’s Christmas party in my bag right now. As odd and funny these objects we find in our bag...

Plato’s Closet – February 2016
Plato’s Closet recently opened in Edmonton, just south of Whyte Avenue and it is a welcomed addition to our preloved shopping community. The store is part of a company but I love it because they buy clothing and take men’s, which are two factors that were very much needed in Edmonton. I brought t...

Value Village – December 2015
For my last thrift of the year I decided to take a risk and head to Value Village on Christmas Eve. It ended up being a very good risk since the store was quite quiet as compared to what the roads, malls, grocery stores would have been like. I think I will have to make it a yearly tradition! It e...

Vespucci Consignment – November 2015
I grew up shopping at consignment boutiques with my mom. As an adult, I continued shopping and taking clothing to consignment stores long before I started thrifting. I decided to do a trip to Vespucci because it’s one of Edmonton’s longest standing consignment stores and because the a...

Value Village – October 2015
Like most thrifters, Halloween time is my least favourite time to shop as the store is cramped with new Halloween costumes and more customers. But any time that I have visited during this season, has always been very lucrative for me. This particular shop was a gold mine in the shoe and dress sec...

For this month’s thrift, my mom joined me! It was only her second time at Value Village since I first introduced her to the store about five years ago. My mom is essentially how I got started in the preloved lifestyle as I grew up spending afternoons with her in second hand consignment stor...
