Books? BOOKS?! Send me your recs! Inspo to give you a jumping off point: Red Rising, The Expanse, The Dark Tower, Wool trilogy. Basically Sci-fi, fantasy, horror epics! But I'm open to other ideas 🤓🤓🤓
My favorite Sci Fi book is The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury! As for Fantasy, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and the rest of the series is really great! Also the Stormlight Archives Series by Brandon Sanderson are very interesting fantasy books! Hope this helps! Love your videos :)
The Monstrumologist! It's dark and a bit thrilling, set in early 20th century America, about an orphan taken in by a scientist who studies monsters. (Think old lore of rural communities of what monsters are killing their livestock or what monsters a hunter might stumble across in the middle of the night. Think chupacabra, wendigo, bunyip, Mongolian death worm, etc.)
Robin Hobb has a good fantasy epic series that I've only read like 6 books of like a decade ago but I remember being obsessed. Seanen McGuire's October Daye series is faerie crime-problem-solving in San Francisco, 16 books but easier reading.
Its not weird to be over the car dependency situation in this country. They’re so bad for so many reasons. We definitely need better public transit and pedestrian friendly infrastructure
i regularly think about urban planning, car culture, and lack of public transit in america because it really is such a bad use of funds and causes so much stress and accidents that are ultimately unnecessary. whenever i get the chance to visit a place with robust public transit the experience is so nice and straightforward. and then i come back to america where you need a car just to get to essential places like the grocery store or doctor's offices and i hate it so much. not to mention the traffic. oh my god the traffic. @.@
I know this is an old comment but I had to agree. Not only is car dependency expensive and bad for the environment, but it's not neurodivergent friendly. I have severe anxiety and have panic attacks whenever I have to drive. I also have ADHD and driving is just sensory overload. I've avoided driving my whole life (literally just did enough to get my license and that's it) and am so excited to finally be moving to an American city with good public transportation. Even just crossing a street packed with cars/crazy drivers who run red lights and blow their horns at pedestrians gives me so much anxiety and I've cried before bc of people like that. I hate it so much
Kathleen could you do a video where you go through your top 10 ( or twenty i wont judge) thrift finds? it would be so nice to see what your favourites are since I bet your house is full of treasures :)
Becky Chambers has a Sci-Fi series that is to DIE for. The first book is called The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and it kicks off the series so well. The characters and species are so diverse, there's tons of explorations of sexuality and gender, and also space action and drama, they're so good!
This makes me miss nyc in the 90s and Cheap Jack’s, which used to be near 14th St. I got a vintage blazer there for $1.99 when I was an undergrad that I still love. How do I remember it was $1.99? Cuz the handwritten receipt is still in the pocket, along with a Mets schedule from 1992…
I just lost my thrift partner/best friend to terminal cancer and your videos are bringing me so much joy and a lot more confidence to go back to our thrift stores. Thank you 🩷
Paige I’m so sorry to hear you lost your partner in crime… I’m sending you the biggest virtual hug from across the internet. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to start up this hobby again after losing her. Rest here with us & Take all the time you need! Much much love 💕
This video was so timely! Just settling back into my Brooklyn apartment after staying out in the desert for a few months. I will be checking out the spots you've visited because I've never heard of them! Thanks for sharing Kathleen.
Oh awesome, I hope you find something perfect! Also a few months in the desert?! Count me in 🌵⭐️ (thanks for watching 💕💕 also, there are a ton of other NYC thrift recs on my community page if you wanna check it out)
Kathleen the pink statement piece was stunning!! I've also had the coolest thrift finds recently :D I found these light-weight, flowy, yellow trousers and this long-sleeved burnt sienna dress with a peter pan collar and !! ruffles!! SO MANY RUFFLES!! (I love ruffles)
I've been cycling through the videos on your channel and you are re-inspiring me to make weird art! to just create for the joy of making something! it feels like you're an older sister who sees my stuff and goes: "yes exactly, do what you love, you deserve it!" and I am very grateful for that energy, so thank you
I am so excited to watch this! Just did 7 loads of laundry at the 'mat, hoping this will keep me motivated to get thru the fold + hang phase lol, hopefully find new outfit ideas along the way :).
Congratulations to you and your team on the award win!! 😊👏 Hope you had a great time- sure looked like you did, and you found some amazing pieces as well!! ❤ I had no idea The Expanse is a book series! I watched every season of the show and absolutely loved it so I might have to read the books! If you haven’t watched the show I highly recommend (I obviously don’t know how closely it follows the books but I thought it was good!).
We went to NYC for 8 days (I'm from small town Canada). LOVED the subway! Easy to access, efficient, great for people watching & ADORED the "musical performances" that occurred every day! One day there was an entire mariachi band playing in our subway car!!!
You are THE cutest little bean!!! And don't think I didn't notice that you didn't say we were stinky this week. As a native New York girl, not city, Long Island and now upstate, i am so happy that you enjoyed your visit. ❤❤❤.
Kino used to be up in Rockefeller square by Minomoto kitchen; if you want traditional Japanese sweets, it’s a must. Also, Chinatown, omfg love the food there, literally able to spend all day in that corner of the city. I miss NY
Really surprised no one directed you to a Housing Works, especially in some of the fancier neighborhoods! Or... anywhere in Brooklyn. My two favorite thrift stores are in Brooklyn.
as a resident new yorker i loved your reactions to all the little things we often take for granted lol- usually the subway for us is a chore to be on T-T but happy to have had u there! :)
I was just in Chicago and definitely obsessed with public transit. I live in St. Louis and have been without a car for a over month and the public transit here is trashhh. Thanks for sharing bc your exploration with us!!!
Ooooo I *loved* watching you in NYC, my city! Many new spots I've marked to check out, and you made me want to revisit Kinokuniya. ❤ Have you tried my fave pen, the Uni-ball Signo?
Definitely a cutey patootie and buttery little bean! I'm happy you brought your emergency support ruler in case of crisis, or as a playmate for more adventures.
Thank you for taking us on this adventure. This just reignites my desire to fly/drive somewhere with an empty bag and just wing it. Mark my words one day I will!
We went to Kinokuniya two days in a row when visiting NYC. We ate at their little cafe both days. I think one day we had to share a table with strangers, but hey.
De Cineribus From the Ashes is a good Fantasy book, a second one is in the works and a third one is planned so maybe add it to your list for when it's complete. I really enjoyed the first book though would recommend
Hi, i just found your channel!! Oh the stores you went to!!! Im a little jealous. But i did go to my local Goodwill and found a pair of Hermes's flats. And they had the color tag that made them .99. i could not have been more thrilled and they fit like a glove. Love your video.
When I used to live in nyc hmm about 15 years ago? 😂 the stylist I used to work with told me this vintage shop called “angel street” at union square, but not sure if it still exits🤔 they had amazing stuff for a really good price because they get stuff from rich people upstate as donations✨ also there were few nice vintage shops on the same street as well❤ every time you show some love to Japan, it makes me happy🥰
@@sukimuki52 - I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news😢! I’m glad you still have some things, I still do as well. It’s so sad how many little family owned little shops, restaurants are gone😢. I had a vintage stall at 26th St Flea Mkt, then the Garage, then a B&M shop (which morphed into something else) & had to close in ‘06 due to the Marc Jacob-isation of the WVill; I barely recognise my old home💔. At least “Cowgirl Hall of Fame” is still there! (Think just called “Cowgirl” now, but still same😃!) NY has become one big chain store after all the nonsense these past few years. So many homeless yet again as well💔. If they’d stop giving tax breaks to greedy corp landlords for keeping spaces empty things would change back quickly. It’ll burst & it’ll be back to the “good old days” soon as many friends in real estate keep telling me, let’s🙏🏼🤞! J. 😘🧡
@@RnR-Rebel I haven’t y been there for over 10 years, so it’s so sad to hear the city has changed so much😭 but when I get a chance to visit there again, I’ll try the shops you recommended💕 at least I can look forward to find some treasure again in the city, cheers🫶
@@sukimuki52 - There’s still a hearty vintage scene when you visit again! “L Train Vintage” (along 14th into Brooklyn) has LOADS of shops! I’m odd as I know values very well, so I won’t pay overinflated prices which sadly some have; tho there are bargains to be found everywhere if you look closely! If you come again, get in touch, if I can, I’ll show you around (even my “secret spot” which has gotten a touch pricey but is still good, always find exactly what I want there, fair $ to me). Cheers & have a lovely weekend! 😘🧡
Would ou ever make a video about how you do your hair? I often struggle bc I HATE the feeling of products in my hair but I also have curly hair and sometimes I wanna shush it up so yeah :D
Just a note to say I enjoyed your NYC vlog! That green dress looked amazing on you! Oh, and a great SF series to start is the "Murderbot Diaries" series by Martha Wells. The First book is "All Systems Red". Security Unit (SecUnit) gains sentience and hacks its own programming to better protect the humans in its care -- as well as download thousands of hours of miniseries to watch. I just finished the fourth book, "Exit Strategy" and I love it!
Loved this! You are most definitely a cute little bean in that dress. I've never been to NYC, but if I ever go, you better believe I'm thrifting there. 🍎
Is it really a trip to NY if you don't feel violated at some point? lol I recommend you hit up the outer boroughs if you ever come back, we have multiple chinatowns, even a japan village. Lots of good thrifting.
Kathleen! You are always the cutest li'l bean! Heh heh, I rhyme good, huh? So, as a Chicagoland native, I LOVE NYC! It's my favorite city I've been to. One of my dream vacations would be to visit for a few weeks and see every Broadway show I'd want to see at least once. Sigh! And also eat lots of NY pizza and cheesecake while I'm there. And thrift, you, of course! You found some very nice pieces!
omg i went to auh2o! it was actually a very stressful day because i was on a school trip (from england like whattt! we were so lucky) and i was running through the rain with my bag of vintage goods to get back to the hotel in time and ended up dropping a shirt on the way and running back for it!
Hey there Kathleen, I just wanted to tell you that you're a beautiful lil bean in everything that you wear & don't let anyone tell you anything different!! Congratulations on your award that's super cool!! And I'm glad that you had such a good time in NYC thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Can't wait for next week's video. Have a Blessed & Beautiful night in Jesus name I pray, Amen! P.S. I'm praying for you & yours❤
Raven cycle series / Dreamer trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater & All the Grisha-verse books are great fantasy books! I also love shadowhunter books, Which is probably the longest going series I've read that continues to get better throughout the years
Found your channel this morning.. YAY...oh and I also ordered the red temptation and into the night combo...can't wait to smell delicious...haha❤. Thank you so much for the inspo.
I just had the best thrifting haul on Friday, I've been looking for some more summer clothes and I found five new short sleeve button-ups (my brand lol) for 30 bucks
I loved this so much! Hope you had a great time at your event! I'm a native NY'er so I can appreciate finding sweet little shops that deliver on content...loved the yellow frock! 💛 Thanks for taking time to vlog on your trip, you're a star! 😊 Edit: Book series. ..Flint Maxwell's Whiteout Series is a good read...As well as Stephen Donaldsons 'Thomas Covenant' series...Read both several times...
When I should be working I just had to watch a thrifting, but not thrifting, video but it was worth it so I added another sub to my list of procrastinating diversions. Great clothing choices, especially the pants, good score. On a different note, I really like your haircut and believe my last cut was my stylists attempt at the 'wolf' cut when I tried to describe something similar. Since mine has grown out and is really a mop now, I've got to ask you, what would I ask my stylist for to get a similar look? It looks so cute on you. Thanks
welcome to the family, jennifer!!! :)) as for hair - i think my stylist refers to is as a curly shag - the bangs are kind of "custom" though because I ask for more of the hair on the top of my head (the crown? i guess?) to be included in the bang so that they're thicker, floofier and start further back on my head instead of starting right at my hairline. she refers to them as "blocky" haha, maybe that's a technical term. if you want to check out my stylist on insta, she does tons of curly cuts and might be good reference! instagram.com/alaynas.chair/
Any chance you kept that drawing of the building? It reminds me of you embroidering that sweater (with a girl) in white that time. Can I get you to sell me that image so I can project it onto my bathroom wall and paint it?
Hi shelli!! I’m not totally sure if I saved it. Let me look through my things! If so I’ll send you a hi-res version you can print 💕 feel free to send me an email or DM

Vicious (or villainous I can’t rember which is first!) by VE Schwab

I think you might like "How To Sell A Haunted House" by Grady Hendrix. Recent horror novel that involves a haunted clown doll!

Seconding this!
NUMTOT ≠ trainsets in the basement (not necessarily anyway, no shade if that's your thing).
i regularly think about urban planning, car culture, and lack of public transit in america because it really is such a bad use of funds and causes so much stress and accidents that are ultimately unnecessary. whenever i get the chance to visit a place with robust public transit the experience is so nice and straightforward. and then i come back to america where you need a car just to get to essential places like the grocery store or doctor's offices and i hate it so much. not to mention the traffic. oh my god the traffic. @.@
nothin wrong with being a train kid!
Also, while we're talking about urban planning, and pedestrian friendliness, we need to make more spaces wheelchair accessible while we're at it.
I know this is an old comment but I had to agree. Not only is car dependency expensive and bad for the environment, but it's not neurodivergent friendly.

An Ohioan in NYC--what a classic tale! All of your videos are immaculate vibes but idk why this one brought me so much pure joy 🥰

I love how you blur out faces. So respectful!!

Summer 2023 outfit goals:
•being a cute lil bean

Also glad you had so much fun and missed all of the wildfire smoke!
The green flouncy gown looked so so beautiful ❤ congratulations on your award!!!

You ARE a cute little bean in that dress! That silhouette actually looks so good on you!
hehe thanks Megan! ⭐️🌞💕
I was all excited for a potentially new fragrance but the red Zara is my main and I’ve had into the night lotion/perfume too 🐸
THE AUTOMATIC PAPER CLIPPER!! Never heard of that before. Thanks for including all the dogs you saw!
ha i'm glad you noticed the dog shots!!!!
I'm such glad we have amazing public transport in my country. It's so nice just hop on train.
The green dress is giving Buffy the Bridesmaid vibes I love it
You are THE cutest little bean!!! And don't think I didn't notice that you didn't say we were stinky this week. As a native New York girl, not city, Long Island and now upstate, i am so happy that you enjoyed your visit. ❤❤❤.
Please wear the pink one backwards as a fancy silky gown with something under that shows your back ❤

I bought an 80s Chanel jumbo in Tokio 7 in 2007 for $700 ❤😮 I was on a work trip and blew up my CC 😅 I was not leaving without it 😂
That New York minute joke has me rolling! How you get so funny?! 😂
Loved the ivory gown, and the very creative and entertaining ways you share your adventures!
Really surprised no one directed you to a Housing Works, especially in some of the fancier neighborhoods! Or... anywhere in Brooklyn. My two favorite thrift stores are in Brooklyn.
So happy to see the green dress debut in NYC. Yay 🎉🎉🎉
So glad you ended up getting those trousers. They were really cute and you can't find stuff like that thrifting in OH. Only in NYC...
Little pouches are very useful for keeping small things organized in a large bag, though with style.
I'm obsessed with you using Louie Zing songs in your videos, his music fits your eccentric and fun vibe so well omg
!!! thank you so much!!! he's at the top of my dream collab list. imagine the funky thrifting madness!!!
Make a video on some fantasy book series you’ve loved and would recommend!
Confirming that you are definitely a cute little bean.
Found your channel recently and you have brought me so much joy. Thank you!
Aw thanks so much for being here, new friend! ☀️
The cutest little bean in that dress!!! Also if you have never read the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher I highly recommend!
NYC!!! Love visiting there. Yes subway is great!! You never can park car there very long costs too much… like the shoppes too!!!
as a resident new yorker i loved your reactions to all the little things we often take for granted lol- usually the subway for us is a chore to be on T-T but happy to have had u there! :)
That pink dress looked BEAUTIFUL on you! 😍

I love ❤your New York attitude 😂 You’re the cutest bean!!!!😊
I was just in Chicago and definitely obsessed with public transit. I live in St. Louis and have been without a car for a over month and the public transit here is trashhh.

I lived in St Louis for many years and had to drive everywhere. Now in NYC area and love being able to take train and subway.
You are an absolute bean in the butter yellow dress! ❤ So dang jelly!
I just wanna say I love your energy :)
Oh Dang, I wonder if I can DIY that drawstring idea because that would be an amazing adaptable clothing option!
oh my god that little dragonfly pouch is to DIE for. you really lucked out on that thrift trip i’m jealous
The Doggo also vinteage and in "mind condion". I mean rockig 3 legs. Thats impressiv!
I think you would like Haruki Murakami. "1Q84" is my favorite.
There's something about your outro music I find so soothing. Just thought I'd share that with everyone.
So glad you like it! It’s called Scuba by Louie Zong if you ever want to listen 🏊🏼♀️💕
@@KathleenIllustrated Thanks, I'll check it out. Have been meaning to mention it, it's just so cute and chilled out.
The MOMENT you said you had an event That Green Dress came imediately to my mind!
So nice! I enjoy watching you thrift especially the styling afterwards, always so quirky and fun! Thank you so much for your videos 🌈
Everything you got is PERFECT! You have excellent taste ❤
Ooooo I *loved* watching you in NYC, my city! Many new spots I've marked to check out, and you made me want to revisit Kinokuniya. ❤
Have you tried my fave pen, the Uni-ball Signo?
You see the city with a unique eye, and you do a wonderful job of catching it on camera
aw thanks so much! glad you enjoyed it
first video of yours i’ve seen and instant subscribe !!! love your style and authenticity, effortless cool girl!
also the cheese had me rolling 😂
My most favorite NYC thrift spot is the hells kitchen flea market you can get lost for hours looking at the most random things
Definitely a cutey patootie and buttery little bean! I'm happy you brought your emergency support ruler in case of crisis, or as a playmate for more adventures.
First time watching you and I enjoyed you so much!! Going to watch back videos to learn more about you. See ya soon
Thank you for taking us on this adventure. This just reignites my desire to fly/drive somewhere with an empty bag and just wing it. Mark my words one day I will!

Book rec: shades of milk & honey by kowal. May only be able to find the whole series as e-books… missing nyc, so thanks for roaming about the city. 💕

Sigh! And also eat lots of NY pizza and cheesecake while I'm there. And thrift, you, of course! You found some very nice pieces!
omg i went to auh2o! it was actually a very stressful day because i was on a school trip (from england like whattt! we were so lucky) and i was running through the rain with my bag of vintage goods to get back to the hotel in time and ended up dropping a shirt on the way and running back for it!
The yellow dress is fab
Just what i needed this Sunday❤
This is my first time watching you and I adore you. :) You kind of remind me of Jenna Marbles, which is a fantastic thing!
That is truly the highest compliment anyone on UA-cam can receive 🥺 thank you!!!
@@KathleenIllustrated Aww! I'm so glad it made you happy!!! Wonderful. ☺
Hey there Kathleen, I just wanted to tell you that you're a beautiful lil bean in everything that you wear & don't let anyone tell you anything different!! Congratulations on your award that's super cool!! And I'm glad that you had such a good time in NYC thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Can't wait for next week's video. Have a Blessed & Beautiful night in Jesus name I pray, Amen! P.S. I'm praying for you & yours❤
Raven cycle series / Dreamer trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater & All the Grisha-verse books are great fantasy books! I also love shadowhunter books, Which is probably the longest going series I've read that continues to get better throughout the years
You ARE a cute little bean in the dress! I also love the long, pink "jacket" thing!
hehe thank you matilda!
I love your channel, you are funny and so refreshing
Aw what the heck! Thanks for being here!!
Found your channel this morning.. YAY...oh and I also ordered the red temptation and into the night combo...can't wait to smell delicious...haha❤. Thank you so much for the inspo.
Haha Aw Veronica I hope you love your new scents!!! Thanks for being here!
can confirm, the cute yellow dress is adorable on you
hehe >:)
I just had the best thrifting haul on Friday, I've been looking for some more summer clothes and I found five new short sleeve button-ups (my brand lol) for 30 bucks
WOAH that’s a treasure trove! Nice job 😳
I loved this so much! Hope you had a great time at your event!
I'm a native NY'er so I can appreciate finding sweet little shops that deliver on content...loved the yellow frock! 💛
Thanks for taking time to vlog on your trip, you're a star! 😊
Edit: Book series. ..Flint Maxwell's Whiteout Series is a good read...As well as Stephen Donaldsons 'Thomas Covenant' series...Read both several times...
When I should be working I just had to watch a thrifting, but not thrifting, video but it was worth it so I added another sub to my list of procrastinating diversions. Great clothing choices, especially the pants, good score.
On a different note, I really like your haircut and believe my last cut was my stylists attempt at the 'wolf' cut when I tried to describe something similar. Since mine has grown out and is really a mop now, I've got to ask you, what would I ask my stylist for to get a similar look? It looks so cute on you. Thanks
welcome to the family, jennifer!!! :))
as for hair - i think my stylist refers to is as a curly shag - the bangs are kind of "custom" though because I ask for more of the hair on the top of my head (the crown? i guess?) to be included in the bang so that they're thicker, floofier and start further back on my head instead of starting right at my hairline. she refers to them as "blocky" haha, maybe that's a technical term. if you want to check out my stylist on insta, she does tons of curly cuts and might be good reference! instagram.com/alaynas.chair/
I'm planning on visiting NYC this year so I'll definitely have to check out those thrifts! Also congrats on the award, that is so cool! 👏
AuH2O, Looks vintage, Tokio 7, City opera 2nd hand shops and Kinokuniya japanese department store.
So fun! Ok not to be THIS person but was Billie there 👀 SO cool you contributed to that whole competition/marketing. ❤
Hehe!!! No she was not.. and she has no idea who I am BUT it’s very cool all the same!!!
Any chance you kept that drawing of the building? It reminds me of you embroidering that sweater (with a girl) in white that time. Can I get you to sell me that image so I can project it onto my bathroom wall and paint it?
Hi shelli!! I’m not totally sure if I saved it. Let me look through my things! If so I’ll send you a hi-res version you can print 💕 feel free to send me an email or DM
