I recently started thrifting a lot in the city especially since I've been trying to save my money. Finding good thrift stores in NYC can be a challenge so I thought I could share my favorites and help out someone who wants to shop but not spend too much money at the same time.

1. Cross Roads

Out of all of the thrift stores I've been to in New York City Cross Roads is by far the best one. They organize their clothes into sizes and skirts, pants, shorts, etc. I never feel overwhelmed at Cross Roads because everything is so well organized. Also, they have many pieces from Zara which is by far my favorite store of all time. They have a rack called "employees picks" and it's absolutely the best!

2. L Train Vintage

This thrift store has really good denim pieces. I got a pair of high waisted denim shorts there and they were $20 which is pretty pricey but I absolutely love them. Their denim shorts range anywhere from $5-$25 which is a pretty good deal! It's also right off of the L Train so it's super convenient to get to!

3. No Relation Vintage

I went here with my mom the other day and they had really cute flannels and jean jackets! It was also cheaper than Cross Roads and L Train Vintage. I didn't buy anything but I definitely plan on doing so. I found a really cute Lucky Flannel but it was pretty big on me. I definitely plan on coming back and buying something! The thing with thrift stores is that you have to constantly keep coming back because your size and preferred style isn't guaranteed to be at that store that same day.

4. Buffalo Exchange

If you're ever in the Flatiron District definitely check out Buffalo Exchange because it's less than a half a block away from Cross Roads! Buffalo Exchange is also another well-organized thrift shop which really helps a girl out whenever she's shopping. Shopping is already such a struggle so it's nice to go somewhere that's cheap and organized.

These are just some of my favorite thrift stores in NYC. I posted a Try-On Thrift Haul on my Youtube Channel that I will link down below! Thanks for reading!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

What It’s Like To Be A Strong Woman, As Told By Blair Waldorf

Queen B sums it up for us.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.

Sometimes, we just can't help the feelings we have
