Brief Bio: Gorgeous purse maker. Lover of peanut butter. Bliss follower. Nina Simone Obsessed. Thrift & Vintage Gatherer. Earrings Addict.

1. What was your first thrifting experience? It was when I started my brand of clutches, Clutch Culture, and I needed clothes for models in my shoots. 

2. How often do you thrift now? It just depends on how creative I'm feeling. But I try to make a trip at least once every week or two. The more creative I feel the more frequent trips I make. 

3. A lot of plus size women complain that they can't/don't thrift because they never find anything in their size .What do you think about this? What has been your experience?  

I used to be that person that thought there would be nothing amazing in the thrift store for my shape.  However, I'm now a very open minded person when I go thrifting.  I thrift with an unrestricted eye that is open to the possibility of finding something unique that I can always tweak to make it fit me better. 

4. Do you have any tips for  plus size women when thrifting? Think beyond what is right in front of you. See if something can be tapered, tweaked or cinched to make it flatter your gorgeous shape.

5. What items do you have the most luck finding? blazers, amazing printed skirts, earrings and purses.

6. Why do you thrift? To maintain my sanity!!!!! haha... Well, it's who I feel I am.  I love the thrill of searching through clothes and the anticipation and utter rush I get from finding something fantastic! I just absolutely LOVE it! 

7. If you had to choose, what are your favorite thrifted pieces? my entire blazer collection! 

I LOVE the Concrete Jungle

HEY!!

As I already told you LOVELY people, I visited NYC a few weeks ago and just wanted to share some more pics from my trip. I finally got to whip out the blouse I scored from a flea market back home in the Virgin Islands so I was super excited! Check out the video and don't forget to subscribe to my youtube channel for more updates.

Hi Thriftshionistas/os!

If you aren't over having fun with us on my Facebook Page, join in the fun NOW!!! BUT, if you are on the page, you'll know I was in New York!! Now let me tell you from now, I LOVE THAT PLACE!!! I must live there. Everything is sooo cheap (clothes and shoes), so lively, and so fun. I visited 125th street  with my family and even saw the world famous Apollo. I took photos right in front the establishment.

Live. Laugh. Love Thrift.

YES!! You've heard it here!!! My Empiricist and I have teamed up to offer you 15% off your order. If you check out the site, it's REALLY easy to navigate and their prices are similar to many plus size retailers on the market. I know many of you are not curvy/plus size, BUT you can share this offer with your curvy friends, family members, etc. Size shouldn't limit anyone's fashion sense and style so start shopping ladies!!
