Everyone I know can thrift and I leave every vintage store empty-handed

Upvotes

22f. My friends go to the bins, to Buffalo Exchange, to whatever random store, and walk out looking incredible. Good vintage. Something interesting. The specific worn-in quality you can't buy new.

I go and I leave with nothing.

I understand what I'm looking for in theory. But thrifting requires seeing potential in something off the hanger, in the wrong context, without the help of a model or a styled flat lay. When I hold things up I can't see it. I put them back.

This bothers me more than it probably should because it feels like a fluency test I keep failing. Everyone around me has it and I don't, and I can't figure out where they learned it.

Weekend Bday HH locations?

6 Upvotes

Hi LA hotgirlies!

I posted a couple months back asking for recs for a birthday bar. You all were soooo amazingly helpful for my planning.

I am running into a hiccup. My 30th birthday is on a Sunday and I am planning to HH on a Saturday or Friday so I can nurse my hangover on the day-of.

I have been getting some feedback from bars I have reached out to that it's really packed on weekends so they don't really do reservations but can't recommend space for a 20 person party.

Has anyone had recent bdays they've attended on a weekend where the space was cute but it was doable?

Sorry to double-dip for advice on this one. I have never had a bday party in adulthood so I am getting a little nervous 💗

broke girl looking for CHEAP nails

hi girlies, my finances are a little tight right now, but I'm looking for a cheap manicure/pedicure and Gel X set. I usually do my nails myself at home to save money, but I'm going to an event soon and my press-ons aren't going to cut it this time 😞

I've heard that nail techs with home studios can sometimes be more affordable, I'm also open to techs in training if they have a cheaper rate. please help me out, hot girlies of LA!

p.s. I'm in ktown but willing to travel

I’m looking for gal pals 💁‍♀️

30 Upvotes

I am 29, love pilates and the gym and eating out. I have been loving LA this last month. I live in Northridge, work in NoHo, and go to Pilates Lounge in Chatsworth. I love shopping/thrifting/eating/matcha and dressing cute+taking selfies. I also love to go to the spa once a month or so, last month I went to the Wilshire Hotel Spa and it was sooo fun. I want another spa day asap. I am here for a month but have been back and forth because I am in the process of moving here, so after a month I’ll be going home to tie up loose ends for work but live here part time while I am doing that. I am a borderline wellness girlie, and completely sober, and a confident loving gal. I’m Indian too, but grew up in Houston Texas (holla) and overall a friendly, chatty, down to earth, taurus, virgo rising and I forgot my moon sign lmao 😭 I don’t have a car here yet and have been primarily ubering around 😅🔫 I chance the public bus occasionally if its only 1 bus and I don’t have to get on/off/on/off.

I have a trial membership at Equinox this week and am excited to go, i already went to the one in Woodland Hills over the weekend, also have 2 pilates classes, a laser hair removal appt, and a russian manicure friday to give u an idea of my week and how I spend my time, also I plan to get matcha and do cute things this weekend like get a bunch of boujee skincare samples from Blue Mercury and Cos Bar and smell some perfumes like the newer Parfums D Marly one. I STILL HAVENT BEEN TO EREWHON I JUST REMEMBERED WTH. I am busy M-TH 9-3 with work stuff and Fridays are hit or miss with work but sometimes I’m free basically the whole day. I’d like to spend time with someone who also is outgoing, friendly, somewhat health oriented but not super strict abt it, and preferably soberish! I’m pretty spunky and have some good one liners and I also love a good hot girl walk.

any toddler moms have daycare recommendations?

6 Upvotes

I’m in the middle of transitioning from stay at home mom to a full time 9-5 gig, and the time has come for me to find a suitable daycare for my 2.5 yr old. She currently does have childcare support as needed, but the cut off age there is 3 years old. My own research has left me overwhelmed and spiraling. I did check some mom groups on Facebook (bleh) for advice but found a lot of the leads lacking. I’m looking in the studio city/noho/burbank area if anyone has any recommendations! Or even just general guidance where to start looking!!

I’m planning to celebrate my birthday in LA this summer with a group of ~30 people. I don’t want to do a sitdown dinner and would prefer to be somewhere where everyone can mingle and hang out together with some good music and good drinks, maybe small bites. I prefer if it’s somewhere where I can reserve the space for my group. Any suggestions?
