Quince - https://quince.sjv.io/5gN5QL - I love them for career wear and good affordable knitwear and cashmere/wool. They aren't perfect, and I have had a few misses with them - most notably on pants (if they started making pants with wool or more cotton I'd be all over them) UNIQLO - https://go.shopmy.us/p-5436012 - This has been my goto for almost a decade now. They are arguably fast fashion, but I think they are very innovative and research intensive. Something most modern day conglomerate fashion brands are missing. They lead with functionality and durability. One read through of any of their Lifewear Magazine edits and you will quickly get the feel that they take this all very seriously. eBay - https://go.shopmy.us/p-5436094 - I'm a bit biased on this one because I also sell on ebay, but if you don't enjoy the thrill of the hunt with thrifting...then ebay should be your main source for secondhand. I regularly go on liking sprees of designers that are wayyyyy out of my price budget because you never know when you might get a fantastic offer. Most niche designers that are making incredible quality items are severely underpriced on ebay. Etsy - https://go.shopmy.us/p-5436119 - This is a tough one....the market has changed so much and the fear of getting a cheap drop shipped item is real. But if you really dig deep into the seller and what they do, you can find incredible made to fit items, natural fibers that are impossible to find in any retail store, and super rare vintage items. Alex Mill - https://go.shopmy.us/p-12974841 - I love this brand, but it is very much out of my personal price point. So I thrift it and get very excited on the few occasions I've found it. They make quality items with a fun twist and pops of color. Plus following them on instagram has taught me a lot about the behind the scenes manufacturing process. I scream from the roof tops that we need more transparency, and this is a brand that provides it. - I'll continue to update this list as I find things that I think are noteworthy - Shop my favorite products here: https://shopmy.us/lauravonv Amazon Storefront - https://www.amazon.com/shop/lauravonv Ongoing Discount Codes - Ultrahuman Ring Air - Laur10 gets you 10% off - http://ultrahuman.com/LauraM Vivia Shoes - Get 12% off with my code: vonv12 - https://go.shopmy.us/p-8844379 7or9 Metallic Ballet Flats - https://go.shopmy.us/p-5602390 - Use code LAURAV15 at checkout How I care for my wool and cashmere Wool and Cashmere Shampoo - https://bit.ly/3Qvnk81 MY YOUTUBE ESSENTIALS Epidemic Sound (Where I find all of my music) - https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/wqh4ke Vlog Camera - https://bit.ly/3SkeZpO Main Camera - https://bit.ly/3qJtfte Mic - https://bit.ly/3mQwgXM Shot on Canon EOS r + Sony ZV 1 + iphone Edited in Premiere Pro
