the art of thrifting

For some people, thrift shopping can be the most unappealing thing ever but for others, like myself, it's really exciting. I thought I'd provide some tips to make thrifting easier because thrift shopping is kind of like tumblr; you never know what you're going to find. Sometimes you don't find anything but other times you want to buy everything. (Ps all the items in the photos were thrift finds!) Zara sweater, Sperry Top Siders, Steve Madden boots, scarf and bag (not sure what brand) Tip No. 1: Go as often as possible because they put new items out everyday.

This month seems to be going by really quickly and I think the reason why is because my trip to New York City is fast approaching. Ever since I was around 11 years old I've wanted to visit NYC and although I have been to the state of New York, I haven't had the chance to visit the city because it's about seven hours away from where I live in Canada. This year I am finally getting the chance to go because my school has organized a trip there.

I decided to start making two playlists a month of songs that I have been listening to at the moment. The first April playlist is kind of a weird mix of soft alternative songs and hip hop songs that I've been loving! If you have any song recommendations leave a comment. Xx Taylor
