I sometimes feel like the super young generation is more “woke” then the rest of us. And I also feel like young people abroad are a bit more woke then their American counter-parts. Though sadly it seems instead of marching against climate change en mass like they do in Europe young people here have to march against gun violence. Need I say more? Well at any rate when my Parisian niece was visiting from Paris she did not want to go to H&M, Forever 21 or to a department store—she wanted to shop at thrift stores. She had done her research and knew the stores she wanted to go to on her trip.
I ended up taking her to Brooklyn and specifically to Williamsburg as there are so many quality thrift stores within a few blocks of one another, and the made for a less taxing day of shopping. I hope you enjoy this video, it is not super long at ten minutes and I hope to do a haul video on all the great pieces I got. Stay tuned!

What a fun shopping adventure! Your niece has so much energy and such great taste for her age. Again you always find the best bargains!
Awesome outfit and your niece is beautiful who has a cool aunt
That was quite a windy (but pretty) day at the beach!
Your niece’s energetic exuberance is fabulous – she’s adorable.
Your fashion thrifting excursion looked like fun. Cute video! I loved watching it 😀
Looks like you guys had an awesome time
This was so much fun, besides about the younger generation being more woke, well it depends on the situation.

What a fun day out! It’s always an adventure opshopping (or thrift shopping as you call it!) I wish I had more time for it but it’s hard with the little ones!
Hope you’re having a great start to your week 🙂 It’s a more relaxed week this week for me after a busy week last week!

I’d probably be like your niece if I’ll be visiting Brooklyn. H&M and F21 stores are already common everywhere. Might as well try something new and find something more pretty and different! That is a great video! I enjoyed watching it! 🙂

Oh my gosh! You and your niece are too cute, Allie:) She reminds me of Maisie Williams:) And love her No Meaning jacket and the wide legged jeans you found!
I used to go to charity shops with my sister, it’s so lovely that you can spend time with her. I’m sure it was memorable. Great video. <3
It looks that you had a lot of fun and that video is really cool!

It looks like you had a great time and found some great items! It’s really cold here as well on some days and only a little warmer on others. An hour-long walk on the beach definitely sounds a little scary in that weather 🙂

Your niece sounds like a very cool individual. I don’t know whether I’m more impressed by the fact she wanted to go to thrift stores or the fact that she came with a list. Sounds like you had a great time x
