And, as always, please feel free to weigh in with your own tips and favorite thrift stores in the comments. Here are my go-to thrift stores:

SECOND TIME AROUND, New York City- Nolita, NY. When I lived in NYC this was a staple for me. A great place to bring items and pick up a couple while they sift through your pile. I always found it best suited supplying that certain piece I needed to make an outfit work. Great for basics and wardrobe builders. 

WASTELAND, Los Angeles- Melrose, CA. Where the cool kids and social media mavens like Gigi Hadid and Kendal Jenner shop. Perfect for incorporating the LA vibe into your wardrobe with a range of mainstream to designer fashion finds.

COMMON THREADS, Boulder CO. A really great curation of contemporary and designer fashion wares. I usually pick up a pair of shoes and a top or two when I visit.

MOSS, Austin TX. For those who care about fashion with a capital F. This designer resale store puts every other secondhand store to shame! Such a lovely space and curated to a T. Everything is in premium condition and hits a super high style standard. Plus, the gals that work there act as personal stylist to guide you.

FMG TV: Finding Your Voice with Thyroid Yoga Creator Fern Olivia

I am thrilled to announce a new interview series I'll be doing here on FashionMeGreen.com! My first guest is the very brave and inspiring Fern Olivia. Fern Olivia is a holistic practitioner, the creator of Thyroid Yoga and Ajai Alchemy. She contributes regularly to sites like Mind Body Green, leads retreats around the world, and is an integral force in the wellness community in Los Angeles, CA. I sat down with Fern to learn more about her journey to managing her thyroid condition which lead to the founding of Thyroid Yoga- a unique practice that helps to strengthen the thyroid and treat thyroid issues from a holistic place.

Fern truly is an inspiration in how she has used her experience to create a system of healing and living that worked for her and is now helping so many others. A lot of gems dropped from Fern's mouth during our chat. I hope you will enjoy hearing more about how she found her voice, and realized that not speaking up had affected her health. So often these things are connected but we get caught up in life and miss the clues. From thyroid health, to beauty rituals and how to balance social media with real life, Fern shares her wise words in this interview. I hope you enjoy this video and please join us in the comments below to continue this important conversation. 

Many thanks to Fern Olivia, Amber Wyatt, and Winc.
