Anyone who knows me well, will know I’m obsessed with vintage and thrift shopping. My passion for secondhand clothing runs deep. One of my earliest and fondest childhood memories is scuffling through racks of musty old clothes at the local vintage store with my mother—something we did a lot, and a shopping ritual I wholly believe led to my enduring love affair with fashion.

While my job as a fashion editor is about covering all things cutting-edge and new, I”m a big advocate of hunting down secondhand finds first—after all, not only does finding a one-of-a-kind piece maintain individualism, it also offers affordable access to quality, designer brands (of which you’ll find plenty in my edit below).
