I’ve done quite a bit of opshopping / thrifting recently to update my winter wardrobe. I found some amazing pieces and when I shared them on Instagram, I got people asking me where I went. It gave me an idea that it’s about time I update the opshops I go to. I thought I’d also add my tips and tricks on opshopping as I’ve been doing this for years.
If you live in Auckland, check out my favourite opshops below.

Most of the items in my wardrobe are actually secondhand. I don’t like paying full price on items because I know I can possibly get it cheaper. This is why I love secondhand shopping. Opshopping/Thrifting is something I’ve done for years but since last year, I really got into other ways to buy secondhand. I thought I’d share all the ways I find nice second hand items and my tips and tricks.
I think we can all collectively agree that this year has been a wild ride. 2020 has not been an easy year. I can list quite a few things that made this year difficult, painful and heartbreaking but despite all of that, this year has also been a year of discovery. I’ve learnt to slow down, make the most of every situation and try new things. It made me think of my ‘2020 Discoveries’.
These are the things, activities or places I’ve tried, discovered and liked/loved this year. I want to focus on the positive things so I thought I’d share them with you.
A couple of months ago, I was approached by Postie to check out their range and pick a few outfits. When I did it it was for the autumn/winter season but I still wanted to share what I got because the pieces I chose can also be worn this spring as there are days when it’s still cold. Postie has also released their spring collection so I’ll share a few pieces I’ve been eyeing up from the new range.
The busiest week in fashion is done and dusted and after an exciting (but exhausting) week of going to shows, I thought I’d round up my third NZ Fashion Week here on the blog. I went to 13 shows in total which is a feat for me since I attended shows in between work. This year’s fashion week has been the best so far and I have so many highlights.
Today, I’m sharing with you my favourite places to opshop/thrift shop. If you live in Auckland and want to know where I usually get my thrift hauls then continue on with this post.
If you’ve been following my blog or Instagram for some time, you would’ve noticed my love for thrifting/opshopping. I love it so much and I’ve shared a lot of thrift hauls here on the blog.
Last May, my sister and I watched Singin’ in the Rain in Civic Theatre. We had a bit of time before the show so we checked out the Auckland Art Gallery too.
We managed to snap some outfit shots which was a bonus!
Check out some photos from the art gallery, outfit shots and what I thought of Singin’ in the Rain below. I know this post is a bit late but it’s better late than never!
Three weeks ago, my sister and I went to The Script concert at Vector Arena. The Script is our all time favourite band. The first time we watched them was in 2013 for their #3 Tour. This year, they came back to NZ for their No Sound Without Silence Tour.
On both concerts, my sister and I bought their shirts and I thought I’d make an outfit post on how to style them all.
See below for further outfit details and my favourite moments from the concert.
This is the last outfit/ootd series featuring my sister Joan. The clothes in all three outfit photos are from this Savemart Opshop Haul I posted a few weeks ago.
All the accessories and shoes are also mine.

My last opshop haul showed my finds from Recycle Boutique. Today’s post shows how I style the Long Lost dress and Topshop romper.
I’m featuring my sister in this OOTD/Lookbook because I am the only one that can take decent photos using my slr. We tried it the other way around but I take better photos. Thanks to Joan for being my model!
See below for outfit details and a close up of the items.
