Yes!! I also appreciate you showing the items you would have gotten if they were just right!!! Like the monk strap Mens shoes! I have a pair of gorgeous leather loafers that are mens just beautiful size 7 which is ladies 8 1/2 👍👍never forget the mens section!! And today I’m wearing a mens Loden green cashmere sweater👍
I saw that white Cardigan in your Live yesterday and loved It! Love the athletic style of the bomber! Yes, definitely add the guitar strap to the purse, perfect! I am loving guitar straps for three years now.
I like how these shops support animal care...that's a double whammy when you can also get great deals and keep clothing, etc. out of landfills. You found some great stuff! We have been to Lagos, and the shore along the ocean is just beautiful, with all the caves and rock formations. Enjoy!
I love thrifting vicariously through you, lol! ❤️ Please show the bag when you add the new handle. Also, I appreciate your honesty and healthy mindset on how our bodies naturally change.
Love Portugal and love the Algarve. Thank you for showing me all these wonderful Thrift stores. You found some wonderful items. So happy that all these shops are set up to help animals.
Good morning Alyssa! I just loved going on your vintage shopping outing! Your white sweater jacket gives a Coco Chanel vibe and looks great on you! Love the brown purse, too! I would love to see more shopping trips. Have fun! 💕
Agree! I totally thought Chanel too…but I love that this cardigan is softer and more flexible that a tweed evening jacket. Loved the gold buttons and contrasting details.
I enjoyed this video so much, thank you for including pictures of the tien and a brief description. Yes!!!! more 2nd hand shopping and can't wait to see your creativity at work while you show us the outfits you create with these additions to your closet. 😀👍Have a blessed time in Portugal, my husband is from the north, I hope to visit Portugal again soon.
I am going to Lagos in summer and this video is great! Would also love to hear any places of interest that you have really enjoyed in Portugal! Thanks!!
This was such a great video. One of my favorite things to do when I'm visiting another state (I'm from the US) or country, is go thrifting. I love seeing what other people donate, and you're guaranteed that no one else will be wearing the same thing as you. I really admire your self-control in not purchasing everything you saw that was cute. I can't say that I would have been the same. I so appreciate your dedication to sustainability with clothing and control in consumption, and I do actually find myself thinking about you when I'm in a thrift store and following your principles when purchasing things. Thanks for your consistency with videos every week. I so look forward to them. Have a great week.
Very nice and interessting video! I really would like to visit more vintage/second hand shops, unfortunately I live in a rather little town in Austria where there are not a lot of these shops. And second hand shopping online is not very easy, I prefer to see and touch the pieces and to know the materials.
YES! More thrifting! I love how you talk us through your selections and why you leave items behind. Would like to see you dig into the piles more and include us in the shop conversations.
The neck check! Something i do before even thinking of trying stuff on. Planning a trip to the area next February. Might just have to book Lagos. Great video. Thanks
Alyssa, that cardigan and bag! Great finds. And, also, Mrs. Rita looked fabulous as usual in those leather leggings. How great to get to shop with your mom in the Algarve!
Love thrifting and the thrill of the hunt so yes to thrifting videos. The algarve is on my travel list so also love your suggestions on what to see and do.
Excellent format! I love it. I usually don't like vlogs but you nailed the perfect balance with shots in the store, what you tried, what you left and at home what you bought. How can you resist buying when everything is one euro!!!! that's why for my low buy I stay away from charity shops and second hand stores as well!!!!
That was super fun! Love that purse too. I love these types of videos and hearing your thoughts about what you keep or don't and why. I can't tell how many times I've bought something and didn't listen to that little voice in my head that said "you'll wear this probably twice", (of course totally ignore) or "you'll eventually lose those last 5 lbs and it'll look amazing!" And of course it never happens and it is never worn. 😟 Thank you! 🙏♥️
Loved this video! We are fortunate in our part of Northern California Bay Area to have many charity/ non-profit second hand shops. Your videos are so inspiring in encouraging us to reuse while supporting local organizations! My faves from your purchases: the white & black sweater blazer and the structured purse!
I have really looked forward to your thrift shopping in Portugal. I appreciate the same restraint you show there and at home. When I travel I try not to get carried away in the moment but it can be difficult! Love your finds especially the bag ❤️. Looking forward to part two!
How fun seeing those thrift shops in Portugal!! Love the white knit sweater very similar to St John Knits which I’m a real fan of classy and elegant👍👍💜, check them out ! Funny enough few days ago I found 2 gorgeous St John knit cardigans at a thrift shop event! They’re 600.00 sweaters, got them for 20.00!!! Oooh also love your vintage brown 👜 purse. Try using car leather wipes to spruce it up works great
I’m so happy you enjoyed Lagos!!! Great to see all the familiar shops and places :) I will share this with my friends and colleagues in hope that they too will be more inspired to start their journey in slow fashion though thrift shopping! P.s. I would add to the list the charity shop Madrugada in Praia da Luz and there’s also the Luah vintage shop (never went there but will soon). Love the cardigan and the bomber!!
Hey Alyssa, nice to see you out and about shopping in Portugal! Even if you do not buy anything and just try things on it really expands the repertoire and gives your audience a sense of what people are wearing in another country! Very enjoyable. We at home may have something similar hiding in our closets .... Like a red blazer ...etc. also we may spot something for the wish list. Love the hair too! No snow here in Albert s today! Have fun! Br safe! ♥️🇨🇦🌏🌎🌍✍️ Joanne
So much fun! Suiting that looks like a jacket but feels like a light knit is one of the great life hacks. Much more comfortable and washable. So comfy in fact that you can do that perfect chic slouching in it!
It was so fun to come thrift shopping with you! I would love more of these and enjoy listening to your thought process. I definitely need to make thrifting a part of my routine again and like you go hunting for gems. Some of my best finds have been eBay and consignment pieces!
It just kept getting better! So glad you found THE bag. I never would have thought to add a long strap….that sweater is THE best. I can see you wearing it so much. Loved the Live yesterday and am all signed up for May. You and Mellon (sp?) are such a great team! Enjoy your travels AND it’s always so great to see your mom.
Wow! I'm still mindblown by the trouser measuting tip! So, so helpful! Could you do a video or incorporate more such advice into your next content? Also, Portugal looks beautiful and so lovely to walk around!
This was so fun, thank you for sharing your joy! I'm really loving being creative with what I have, but honestly, finding new items is so friggin exciting! 😆Hi from Vancouver!
This looked like real fun to do. I've not been shopping like this for a long while. Very tempting but I have too much stuff and am decluttering! The shops looked really good. Your husband found some great shirts and your mum has great style too. Many thanks for sharing. 😊 x
Alyssa bon jorno chica! Like your visiting sharing. Really remind me of weekends @ Ensenada. We can really get awesome deals like your lovely cardigan that you grave pasing thru 👍cool choice. I'm more that a loner, speaking of shoping (get in My concetration in My shoping like "leave me in My shoping alone) but is si much fun gathering to visit trift stores Awesome weekend 🤟
Thank you. My husband and I are sure to early retire in Lagos and explore all of Portugal so I’m happy these thrift shops have great finds and help the animals. Love the Chanel-like cropped light cardigan!
💟 Yes, I really enjoyed your thrift adventure in Portugal! You really have such great restraint which is admirable. I used to be a huge impulsive shopper but reined that in thank goodness! Looking forward to more of the same from you! Thanks so much Alyssa! 💟💜💟
Great video Alyssa. I LOVE THAT CHANEL STYLE cardigan/ jacket. So versatile and suits you to a T. Love those little vintage shops where I'm sure the quality is good. My favorite Potuguese pastries are Nata or Puding with a café galão.
Love that white cropped cardigan!
I love the handbag you chose, and yes, more vintage/charity shopping tutorials, please! Very enjoyable.
Thank you for watching Jennie!
Yes!! I also appreciate you showing the items you would have gotten if they were just right!!! Like the monk strap Mens shoes! I have a pair of gorgeous leather loafers that are mens just beautiful size 7 which is ladies 8 1/2 👍👍never forget the mens section!! And today I’m wearing a mens Loden green cashmere sweater👍
The white cardigan is beautiful, has Chanel vibes, absolutely love it.xx
I saw that white Cardigan in your Live yesterday and loved It! Love the athletic style of the bomber! Yes, definitely add the guitar strap to the purse, perfect! I am loving guitar straps for three years now.

Living vicariously through your travels and peeks into these thrift stores is so much fun - thank you!

I love the cardigan, very Chanel vibes 😊
A fun one; I enjoyed
So much fun. I am envious. There is only a goodwill around here.
My daughter and her wife and I will be in Barcelona for a month soon so u r motivating me
Barcelona is in other country: Spain. Algarve is in Portugal.
@@andreiadetavora8471 yes, but I am hoping there’s lots of opportunities to shop vintage there as in NYC where I live
@@Darry4645 Oh! Good luck in you shooping!!
I like how these shops support animal care...that's a double whammy when you can also get great deals and keep clothing, etc. out of landfills. You found some great stuff! We have been to Lagos, and the shore along the ocean is just beautiful, with all the caves and rock formations. Enjoy!

Ah thank you! I am having fun integrating those pieces:) Have a great week! xx
Agree! I totally thought Chanel too…but I love that this cardigan is softer and more flexible that a tweed evening jacket. Loved the gold buttons and contrasting details.
Beautiful bag! 👋🏻 Amazing Cardigan too. Algarve is in fact a wonderful place.
Love this shopping day with you and most of all your sensibility about what you need.
Thank you for watching Tanya!
Yes, your sensibility about what you actually need!! I need more of that!!

That white knit sweater and blue Fila piece were EVERYTHING worth the thrifting trip…wowza! 😊
