Pre-loved Shopping in Brooklyn With My Parisian Niece

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!

  5. This was so much fun, besides about the younger generation being more woke, well it depends on the situation.

  6. 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!

  9. 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! 🙂

  18. 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 🙂

  26. 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
