Can you believe it? Everything I’m wearing (except Can you believe it? Everything I’m wearing (except the black leggings in the last clip) has all been thrifted! I thought it would be fun to try them all on for you! 

In Jan 2025 I gave myself a sort of NY resolution to not buy any clothes. But then it morphed into only buying clothes from consignment and thrift stores. There are clothes that I have bought from consignment that aren’t shown here - these are only clothes I’ve found from thrift stores. (The Moncler black sweater was the steal of the year!)

I didn’t think I’d find so much and some days when I go thrifting I find nothing. Like finding vintage items for my home, it’s definitely the thrill of the hunt and being sustainable is also a huge plus. Do you love thrifting?

I have a secret… I’ve always had an old soul (and I have a secret… I’ve always had an old soul (and a love for vintage).

I lived in many different apartments in Vancouver and they had to be old apartments with hardwood floors and lots of character. 

I’ve been collecting vintage since I was 17. I refinished a desk at this age and at 19 I upholstered my first armchair (you can see it in the room with yellow walls). 

I’ve been updating with paint since I was allowed to paint my bedroom at the age of 16 and in these photos you can see me painting a kitchen when I was 22. 

I bought my first place in 1999 at the age of 23, a loft on West 8th with a beautiful view of downtown Vancouver and I painted brand new cupboards white because I hate the orange color that was all the rage. Can you see the crock in this kitchen? That’s when I started first collecting!

If there’s any indication what you should be doing as an adult, perhaps it’s what you’ve loved doing as a younger you. 

I’ve always loved interiors, I’ve always loved vintage, and I’ve always found it important to make the place I live beautiful, even if it’s just for a short time.

2025 was a year! I quit my job at California Clo 2025 was a year! 

I quit my job at California Closets after 2.5 years and found my love again for my blog. It’s been a wild ride having a blog since 2010 and then having my Instagram account hacked a few years ago, I really thought the universe was trying to tell me something, that I should pursue other things. Well, not just because I was hacked but I really did want to pursue other things and see where it could take me. 

I’ve tried many routes, all within the creative/design field:
📚I’ve had an online store
🕰️I’ve sold vintage items at markets
🗂️I’ve had my own interior design business
📈I’ve worked for a company being a design consultant

And now I’m back at the beginning again...back at my roots with my blog and creativity. 

I have some things in the works for 2026 and I’m so grateful you’ve been here for this journey with me!

Cheers to the New Year!
