    You are my favorite, because you’re genuine. I’m glad you’re not trying to be all bubbly and fake. And I love, Joey. He’s so sweet to you and cute. He’s a catch.

    Joey's jacket was amazing!! It's so much harder to find good pieces here in Australia.. some op shops can be very standard. Cant wait to see more videos, I'm loving the regular uploading!

    • @allegrashaw

      Obviously, Joey gets the nicest piece eh! Definitely more cool videos to come, I feel excited about content again xo

    this is irrelevant to the video but i ordered the “this girl” tee and afterwards the “gloria” hoodie from uncle and I LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH, literally such closet staples and i’ve gotten a ton of compliments on the cool art at the back!!! totally worth the $$ ❤️

    • @allegrashaw
      @allegrashaw  6 років тому

    Hi Allegra! I’m from Miami and while we don’t have that big of a selection of vintage stores, we do have some gems. C. Madeleines is a classic and totally wacky and cool. Another really cool vintage store is Fly Boutique (my favorite). They have everything from clothing to vinyl to home accessories to shoes. A more high end vintage store is called What Comes Around. I believe there is more than one location. That’s all I can think of right now. Love your videos!

    I love when Joey is in your vlogs! You guys keep it so real. My fav videos are vlogs for sure as well as capsule wardrobe ideas. I’d love to see/hear more about a day in the life, or just sharing your general thoughts or beliefs. Would also love an apartment tour because I’m sure you have cool vintage finds in their too 😍 Love ya!

    Yesssss, loved this video! I have to check out those vintage shops. I always go to value village but they upped their prices so much it’s not even worth it anymore, spending like the same amount for more curated seems like the way to go!

    I'm 5 feet tall so finding jeans that fit is always tough, I always end up having to cut the bottoms. Anyway, I'm going to leave Boston on a plane tomorrow to visit my friend in Denver Colorado. I am dragging her to a vintage store called Goldmine Vintage because from what I see on their instagram, their collection really is a goldmine. I'm pumped up! Would love to see how you alter some of these pieces 😍

    MIAMI: Goodwill's ( I probably recommend going to the Goodwills in the more expensive area's: Brickell, Aventura, Etc.) FlyBoutique is another super SUPER super great one, and right across the street is Moshi Moshi (good sushi) . Wynwood area forsure (might be more pricey.) C-Madelines (Ive never gone, just found about it.) Hollywood area.

    I liked the tip about shopping on weekdays - I always find if I go vintage shopping on a Sunday for example everything is picked over!
    Do you also have a price range tip for vintage denim like you did for vintage tees?

    • @allegrashaw
      @allegrashaw  6 років тому +1

      Under $50 is usually what I would pay. I'll pay more around 40-50 if im at a really curated store, but somewhere thats a really classic vintage 10-25 is normal. This is all in canadian dollars, so im not sure if it would be different in the states!

    I absolutely love thrift shopping! In Cape Town, there are tons of pop up second-hand stores that I literally come home with black bags full of clothes... it's cray.

      Okay, I am definitely gonna check it out! Oh my gosh, yes! Cape Town is like a little hub for that kind of thing - plus, it's just beautiful. You have to come! (Although, you'd have to give up showering cause of the drought... )

      @SaraAnderson 6 років тому +1

      DearMary V wow! I'm kind of surprised about that. Is it just more common to do hand-me-downs?

    • @marividal6191
      @marividal6191 6 років тому

      It is! Also clothes stores and online shopping is pretty expensive here, is common to travel to the states to buy everything cause is cheaper, that applies also to everything related to beauty, like makeup, skincare and fx products.

    • @SaraAnderson
      @SaraAnderson 6 років тому +1

      DearMary V Ah, that's a bummer! I'm sure the conversion rate is annoying too even when you physically go to the states. I heard of services that will let you request an item that you want from another country and someone who is already traveling to your location buys it and brings it with them. I'm not sure if it works out to be cheaper though 🤔
