When I travel anywhere, I tend to do a bit of thrift shopping. I think one of the reasons I pack a carry-on bag like a pro is because I want to make sure I have enough room for any thrifted items I bring back home.So when I went to Finland a few weeks ago {Helsinki and then Turku}, I wasn’t really sure if I’d have time to hit up a thrift store, but as soon as I arrived in Turku, Finland’s oldest city, I immediately spotted not one, but two secondhand shops.I. Was. Stoked. And it also felt like that was the universe’s way of saying, “Patrice, you must thrift.”Here’s what I found while thrift shopping in Turku.

I love traveling and I love hitting the thrift store, so when I can combine the two? That's just a double score. While in Nashville earlier this summer, I made it a point to hit up a Goodwill Outlet and thrifted a few vintage gems. However, when I made a trip to Alberta, Canada, I wasn't so sure I'd have time to thrift shop. But luckily, the thrifting gods were shining down and my final day in Edmonton, I hit the secondhand stores.I was curious: would the stores be as big? Organized? What would the prices be like? Safe to say, I scored. Big. Here's what I found while thrift shopping in Canada.Looking Fly on a Dime: Thrift Shopping in Edmonton at Goodwill

fashion-snapchat-snapchat-to-follow-style-adviceOk, I'm late to the party, but um, Snapchat is great. Now that I finally know how to use it {there's a learning curve!}, it's not just fun, but useful for the blog.Of course I have Instagram, Facebook and Twitter where I share updates while I'm out shopping, but Snapchat is a bit different. I went thrifting last weekend and it was great to be able to show you guys the step by step process as it was happening.
