Name: Kristi Location: Los Angeles, CaliforniaWhen and why did you start thrift shopping? I started thrift shopping with my mom when I was very young. My mom always had a flair for vintage things: clothing, furniture and especially handbags. I always felt that there was something special about giving new life to things that someone else wasn't using anymore. I still feel the same way now!What three words would you use to describe your style? Creative. Bold. Fly.
