One of my favorite things about shopping secondhand is that it allows me to curate a style and wardrobe that is uniquely my own. Through trial and some terrifying errors, I’ve developed a routine of wearing a “uniform” of sorts, or a signature look of saturated colors, bold prints, and textures. There’s comfort and convenience in knowing what you like. …
You know how some people have trouble wearing/styling yellow? (I’m raising my hand) Well, orange can be tricky too, and although a couple years ago I stocked my closet full of the GOURDgeous color, I ended up getting rid of a lot of it because it just wasn’t me. So I thought I’d give you a few ideas on …
As I am writing this post, I am sipping on a warm pumpkin spice latte, the air outside is crisp and cool, there are hints of yellow, orange, and red colors peeking through the green trees lining our neighborhood and it is finally starting to look like Fall in Ohio. I love the Fall season for so many …
Hello everyone – Happy Back to School Season (like officially – we are in the swing of it now!)! Abby here with an upcycle project, plus a fun organization idea (at least I was very proud of myself for figuring this one out)! This month’s post is brought to you by: CHAOS! We are officially in the swing of school …
As a 90s kid, I have fond memories of watching the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air every week with my family. What I looked forward to the most was Hilary Banks’s impeccable sense of style in each episode. Played by Karyn Parsons, Hilary’s style embodied 90s fashion. The shoulder pads, bold colors, hats – I loved it all. This …

I only spent about 20 minutes there, but I came out with a nice …
Hello everyone – Happy Back to School Season! Abby here with another upcycle project for you all! This month’s post is brought to you by: GARBAGE! Or garbage that won’t be garbage when we’re done with it! If you live in Akron, you know that we can’t recycle #6 plastics anymore (and haven’t been able to for a while, sad …
Hi everybody! Clayborne here, with a new mixed-media collage titled, His Orchestra. I created this body of work at home using a number of materials sourced from the Cuyahoga Falls Goodwill and the Goodwill Outlet. There are many unique ways to create personal artwork from found objects. When I am searching for items to upcycle, I search through every square …
It is August, and it is hard to believe it, but it is back-to-school time already. The summer flew by for me and my two children and they are starting school in two weeks. While we have made memories and enjoyed the summer together, I think we are all ready for the Fall and having a schedule again. I love …
Stepping into a Goodwill can often feel like taking a walk down memory lane. Browsing the rack, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of coming across something from your childhood at Goodwill. We want to share that nostalgia with the thrift community so this month we’re inviting you to share a thrifted find that reminds you of your childhood using …
