haggling in the home of the habs/dear god why am i in montreal


that alliteration was the sucks. don't worry, dear reader, there is no hope ahead, only puns.

sooo i used to have this style blog about weird things i bought at thrift stores & wore in daily life. it started out as a mini-tribute to the bins [goodwill outlet] in pdx, oregon & became about my bizarre findings at the holy trinity of secondhand style (goodwill, salvo army, nam) in my hometown of houston, texas.

i figure now that i'm living, studying, & working in montreal, i could resurrect this concept with a spin-off blog. so here we go.

in case you didn't stick it in your googler yet, "friperie" is the french word for "thrift store." so "allez aux friperies" is like "go thrifting!" except for me that's more like, heyyy, let's go look for things that are weird, fantastic, & possibly even man-repelling. i like to think i have the right amount of "this has been fun but i think i forgot to the let cat out, kthxbye" outfits that a girl should have.

on another note can i write for penthouse letters when i grow up? i was totally admiring their extensive use of alliteration while at the atwater market the other day. y'know, in case all my other totally promising future job prospects fall through.
