to-terrapin asked: Hi i was wondering if you had any suggestions for good places to thrift or find unique vintage items anywhere in or around boston! thanks!! x

yes yes

bobby’s of boston (in the south end) has amazing true vintage finds. a little on the pricier side though (depending on the piece!). it’s a beautifully curated store though so definitely worth a visit, even if it’s just for inspiration!

garment district/RAGS in cambridge. huge selection, reasonably priced, and at Rags you can buy by the pound. 

trunk and disorderly in worcester is my friend ashley’s store. everything from second hand to vintage finds, and awesome knick knacks. very very reasonably priced.

circa vintage in new bedford has really great vintage props and pieces. the curator is really nice and friendly as well. definitely one of the best ones… and worth the drive.

white elephant is essex may be my personal fave, it’s a giant old victorian house filled with jewelry, clothing, antiques, and tons of other fun finds. also the drive to essex is beautiful, and there are tons of other little vintage shops in the area that are worth a peek. make a day of it and go to the beach, and stop for fried clams and lobster rolls after you’re done shopping!

Anonymous asked: Hi Jeni, how are you? I found you through instagram and saw that you are a buyer karmaloop and misskl. I currently graduated FIDM with a degree in merch. marketing. I would love to find out how you became the buyer for such a well-known company! I aim to be a buyer myself but have no clue to start. If you're free sometime next week, I would love to have a short chat via phone/internet about your job. I can be contacted via email at meganjean528@gmail. Thanks!
