Why thrift?

Hmmmm, I often ask myself that, “Why do you adore the thrift?”  Sometimes it’s difficult to answer especially when I’m in the mall with my daughters and I’m bombarded by all the new, lovely clothes lined up so nicely all according to color and size unlike most thrift stores where shopping can literally be a treasure hunt some days.  Then it hits me, I adore the treasure hunt.  I love getting lost in the search.  It is a version of therapy for me to shut out the outside world and get lost in the thrift.  My oldest daughter once said to me, “Mom!  Have you seen your face when you’re going through the racks??”  I had to laugh because of course I haven’t seen my face, lol!  Apparently I’m quite serious and intense, I’ve had a close friend say the same on a different occasion.  

I know the thrift isn’t for everyone.  I’ve noticed many people don’t have the patience to scour the racks or they are simply not happy in that environment.  That’s ok~serously because I’m very happy there and I’m also more than happy to do the searching for you, just let me know what you’re looking for.  I have no problem hiding a squeal when I find that vintage Coach bag (just this past Saturday) or that pair of Diesel jeans (again, this past Saturday, size 30 by the way).  I’ve got a great poker face only when it comes to the thrift.  Any other time I’m an open book ;).  Call, text or email me we need to talk about what you need me to find.  In the meantime check out my website.  The inventory changes every few days.  www.Nayaudo.com

My new blog!!

Hi,  I’m Menay~SAHM to 4 and I’m a personal shopper specializing in “the thrift”.  What is “the thrift”?  It’s shoppping at various thrift stores whether they’re here at my home town of Staten Island NY or when I venture to the big city of Manhattan.  Both venues provide and equal number of wonderful, bargain thrift oppportunities.  My finds can range from high end shoes such as Manolo Blahniks, Seven for All Mankind denim, Free People to Old Navy and Banana Republic.  I love the thrill of the hunt and I love shopping.  I’m more than happy to search for anything you’re looking for.  There’s no need to bargain shop in retail stores, I can find those same brands many times new or nearly new and provide them to you, my client at much less than the original retail or even the retail “sale” price.  I’m available by email:  Menayorcuilo@gmail.com, phone or text:  347-404-2300, you can also visit my website http://www.Nayaudo.com to see my current inventory.   My inventory is really a snapshot of what I find while in the thrift.  When I have a specific request such as Citizens of Humanity or Diesel Denim or Manolo’s they usually don’t make it to the website as I’m too busy shipping out that custom order for that client.   I hope you continue to visit my blog and my website!
