we're going thrift shopping
i'm in it i'm already inside there but i'm standing here let's go
hello today we are going to be doing a thrift haul i'm very excited about this new zealand has made
me fall even more in love with thrift shopping and i feel like i wasn't doing it as much before
i left la and then coming here i've just i've rekindled that love for it if you are new to
my channel hello welcome thank you for being here and if you have been here before welcome on back
either way take a moment to make sure that you are subscribed to my channel so that you never
miss a new video from me and remember to give this video a thumbs up if you want to see more thrift
hauls new zealand has made me fall more in love with thrifting because of a few different reasons
one because the thrift prices at thrift stores are actual thrift shopping prices 15 17 20 25
31 okay thank you thank you oh these oh yes now i know a lot of the us actually has thrift
stores that have really great prices like one dollar two dollar four dollar up to maybe ten
dollars but like nothing crazy when it comes to clothes in los angeles i loved thrift shopping but
because it's la a lot of the times i would go into a thrift store and you wouldn't find thrift
shopping prices there would be like thirty dollars for an old vintage tea and sometimes
i would still get it because i just fell in love with the piece but a lot of the times you weren't
finding really great bargains here in new zealand everything that i have around me is anywhere from
one dollar to less than a dollar to two dollars to four dollars the most expensive thing was an
art piece that i'll show you guys in a second which was ten dollars but it's well worth it i'm
going to be showing you guys some finds from two different thrift shops in two different regions
of new zealand the weekend before last we went to the hawks bay region of new zealand we went
to havelock north and there was a little op shop there in town that i love and i found some really
good stuff they always have good stuff and then here we are in the wairarapa region of new zealand
right now we're staying at a little farm stay here in masterton but yesterday we went into cartertin
which i love that town so much and there's this little thrift store called vinnie's i went in
and i was pleasantly just very not surprised but very happy with some of the items that they had
in there so i'm going to be showing you guys we're going to start with the bang with this art piece
this is the most expensive piece that i got at any of the thrift stores this was ten dollars but
it is well worth it to me it is sort of my dream scenario and i love the colors i think it's just
so beautiful and quaint and charming and relaxing and i feel like it will fit in with any home that
we find here in new zealand so i can't wait until that happens and we can put this up on the wall
and like the bathroom or something like that i just think it's so beautiful this is a steal
i got it for two dollars and i just think it is so beautiful it's so well made it's a little weaved
purse with these beautiful wooden handles and it has so much space inside this will be so great in
the summertime i have a couple bags like this that are more wicker than weaved like this and
they're so small i can never fit anything inside of them and i just love this one because there is
so much space in here and it also just still has that really beautiful little like summer island
look to it and i love this pattern here and two dollars such a good price for this since we're
starting on the accessory and home decor path i'm just going to continue on that for now and then
we'll get into the clothes inspired by some of my favorite pinterest vines i picked up this pair of
earrings i love turquoise and gold together whenever i see turquoise and gold jewelry i
always feel drawn to it i love the shape of these i feel like they look so beautiful with a crisp
white button up and i also got these gold they're really interesting earrings i just
love the pattern i love that there's kind of a hoop but then it connects to another piece and i
just think they're different and i felt like they were a really really good find i think these were
a dollar if i remember correctly which is such a good steal and you know they look like something
you could find on urban outfitters i don't know if they're real or anything but uh they have a
bit of wear to them so you can definitely tell that they've had some love and they've really
kept up looking really nice so i really love those lastly in our accessory slash
home item section here i have these two coffee mugs for a dollar each i just loved the color
and i loved the shape of them a lot these are the type of mugs that i love drinking coffee from in
the morning i love when they're tall like this so they're less easy to spill i feel like these
mugs i will be grabbing for probably every morning and i love that they came with two like this so if
i feel like having two matching mugs with alex and i sometimes i like that i like having an
assortment of all different mugs but sometimes i like you know a pair that match so i'm excited
about these and they are a dollar each so that was a really good find let's move on to the clothes
that i found there's definitely a theme here i was on the hunt for button-ups i wanted some collared
long-sleeve kind of like loose fitting button-ups to wear in the summer time to use to just throw
over different outfits to even like tie up at the waist i will show you guys on the screen some
ideas from pinterest that i've pinned recently kind of the look i was looking for this one i
found and it's a little bit different than what i was looking for i originally grabbed it because i
was like okay i want i was on the hunt for a white button up and then i pulled it out and i saw this
awesome embroidery in the back all these florals and i was like i have to get it it's super
oversized probably a little bit more oversized than i was looking for but because i loved the
embroidery in the back i just thought this would be so nice even in the summertime with a bathing
suit underneath or just a bandeau i could tie it to the side this one set me back six dollars which
is one of the more expensive items that i found but i felt it was worth it just because of this
beautiful work in the back of the shirt and within the same realm i got this one for three dollars
which is a really good price for how great of quality this shirt is you can wear this in so
many different ways you can dress it up you can dress it down you can just throw it over
a bandeau and wear some high-waisted jeans you can do so many different things with this and
so i'll show you guys a couple of ways that i like to style it but i'm really looking forward to this
because i feel like i will grab this all the time because it goes with so many different outfits
i was also looking for linen button-ups so i got a couple of linen button-ups one
is a striped blue one and then a striped tan one tan one is a longer sleeve that you can roll up
it's just super easy like casual laid back i think linen just makes you think spring and summer it's
just so refreshing to even just look out when i when i see people wearing linen i'm always just
like oh you look so cozy so i really love linen button ups and i love the color of this one so
much it just screams summer to me and then this gorgeous one i really love it's a shorter sleeve
which wasn't really what i was looking for but i actually really like it it's oversized
which is a theme here i really love oversized especially when you get into the warmer months
they're right around the corner i know we're in the middle winter right now but
they will be here sooner than we think and i just love the oversized about it it's just
so cozy especially with linen i think oversized linen just oh it's just so beautiful and i love
love this blue color and i love that this blue button up has these little wooden they're kind
of wooden i don't know if they're wooden but they're definitely like brown and they
give you a wooden feel to them and i really love that and i love that has a little pocket in the
front so
so
got to those items quicker than i thought i would those of you guys who
love thrift shopping know how fun the hunt is and i just had so much fun sharing with you guys
what i found i've been holding on to the bag from havelock north for a couple of weeks
now because i'm like i'm going to make that video and so much has been happening so i'm
so glad to be sitting down here and doing this for you guys right now definitely let me know in the
comments below if you are from new zealand where your favorite places to go thrift shopping are
what you love thrift shopping for like all of you guys watching right now if you're not from
new zealand do you love finding clothes more so at thrift stores or do you go on the hunt
for home decor pieces do you go for accessories i feel like for me i'm always going for clothes
and then i always end up going over to the accessory department and then i go to home
decor and i'm like okay then i can find a little mix of everything but i feel like i always go in
with the mission of finding a closed item but i know a lot of people go in and they're just like
home decor for thrift shopping that's all i go there for and then if i find something clothes
related i'm happy but i wonder what kind of your focus is when you go into a thrift shop let me
know we are about to leave here in just a moment to go to some more open houses the house hunt
is still on those of you who watched my house hunting vlog probably saw that we were looking
at houses in the central hawks bay region well we have repositioned our search to the wairarapa
area because we have realized that we really love this area a lot we've been here for the
last two weekends in a row we love its proximity to wellington as well which is such a cool little
big city it's one of the coolest little big cities in the world and i just love it there so much so
being here in wadada we can get there really easy on the train whenever we want to go but then also
live amongst this just like beautiful more rural area countryside it's just so stunning and there
are just some really cool places here we went to a bakery yesterday the clareville bakery
which is supposedly one of the best bakeries here in new zealand and i will stay it was amazing
i had a cronut with vanilla bean custard it was pretty much life-changing i'm not even kidding
