Thrift shopping for cheap clothes & apartment holiday decor in NYC. A vlog.

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Hi friends! Welcome back for day 7 out of 12 of our vlogmas 🎄THIS MORNING I CHECK OUR FUNDRAISER FOR THE ALI FORNEY CENTER AND WE REACHED $10,000 I cannot believe it... and CANNOT stress how much it means that y'all donated and also believe in such an incredible organization directly helping the LGBTQIA+ community. Thank you so much. You won't hear me shut up about this for awhile. I'm gonna post my posting schedule for the second week of vlogmas on my community tab today so keep an eye out for that if you're interested in timing for the youtube live. Okay... now... what did you think of the thrifting haul? lol.

[@elsbells4841]

Absolutely brilliant!!!!

[@emilychambers]

Such good news, well done 👏🥳

[@mandeliongardens]

Shout out for another gray girly! I luuuvvvv to wear gray!!

[@lilly6766]

The big clip is giving "take me to the opera"❤❤❤

[@ChelseaCallahan]

hahaha I love that

[@itsbittersweetest]

The hair accessories are amazing on you, the bow OMG adorable for the holidays!

[@thepandaknows]

Have to express gratitude for these daily vlogs. Thank you for spreading positivity in this often difficult time of year! 🫶🏻

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

The visual of Chelsea just carrying on standing there talking in the intro while absolute feral, crazy CHAOS is going on behind her .... makes my heart so happy.

[@Dannii97]

I love secondhand shopping. There’s so much consumerism & we waste so much money on clothes. Another fun vlog, thanks Chelsea!

[@annjohnson543]

The black ruffle neck sweater would look so cute with the long skirt. Gordo and Deli are wildly entertaining!

[@omalleysmith9100]

I went and bought some Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls for the first time ever because of your other video, and now I have the urge to go thrifting..... I hope I don't get two cats next. 😂😂 Great shopping day! Love it.

[@kimshine4011]

I did the 2 cats thing. I adopted a second cat. I've got cinnamon rolls on the grocery list and im going thriftong mext week! 😁

[@massieb]

Love this 😂

[@egl3369]

I guess I am no fun as I find the consumerism of the holidays to be a bit much. When I see all that stuff, all I can picture is it ending up in landfill one day. I love your idea of thrifting holiday decor, at least it's better for the environment :)

[@fleetwoodm5292]

One word to describe how I feel watching your video: "cozy".

[@bree8150]

This is such a perfect video for a Saturday morning. You’re always the vibes, Chelsea 😊

[@Besztaczka]

So true!:)

[@evelyncape4180]

Hi Chelsea. I’m adding to the chorus of appreciation for your Vlogmas videos. I look forward to them daily. I know you must have been planning and filming them for a while. Love the editing and music. Your channel just makes me happy-many thanks😘❤️🙏🏼

[@ChelseaCallahan]

I'm so glad you're enjoying them

[@Serendipitous69]

Thrifting Queen era, let’s gooo!! What I would give to thrift in NY!

[@Oohmyymiaa]

Janie in her little raincoat was so cute 🥰

[@styleonrepeat]

Hello from Oregon, Chelsea! I don't think I've commented before but I have watched most of your blogs. You and Alexis are two of my favorites! ❤ BTW, I'm a 57 year old married cat lady living just outside Portland. 😊

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Oh hey nice to meet you!! Thanks for watching 💓

[@jessicac9301]

I love Chelsea's vlogs! Imma silent viewer but I keep coming back for more 😊

[@elsbells4841]

I’m with you! Been following her for suuuuch a long time and I hardly ever comment (ok maybe this vlogmas I’ve been going a little ham 😅 but it’s been such fun!!!) . Welcome, fellow silent viewer ❤

[@latte1020]

I think it’s hilarious and great that those clips/Barrett are coming back!!! I wore those ALL THE TIME in the 1990’s!!

[@reapersphantomofhell]

Girl, I have been thrift store shopping for all my clothes for decades. Rarely do I buy brand new. And don’t you love the thrill of the find! Glad you hit the payload!❤

[@lyraserpentine894]

OMG, a Scrunchi in NYC! Takes me back to that Sex and the City episode about it.

[@TheresaAlberti]

You got a fun haul! I love the hair clips, though I have the opposite problem from you-- my hair is so thick that some clips can't hold it. The snowman decoration reminded me of something someone gave me when my 3 kids were little, a similar gift with each of their names on the 3 different snowpeople. So yours can be for you, Gordo and Delilah! 😊☃⛄☃

[@phyliciajoykloes]

Ooh, girl! Secondhand shopping is just great. Lovely finds! It's so fun to see what these thrift stores have to offer all over the world. Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@lynnhurst7365]

Hi Chelsea just wanted to say that I'm loving your vlogmas. Your vlogs are very calming to me. Thrifting is a great idea around Christmas, even if you're not on a budget. You're kitties are adorable as always they steal the show 😊. Take care stay safe and have a wonderful weekend

[@katierapp993]

You’d be gorgeous in colors other than grey! Get one of those color analysis!

[@warmbreeze43]

Literally saw all this stuff yesterday at TJMax. But not hardly a 1/4 of your store. Our thrift stores are not great either. Love watching you shop

[@SticksnStones9]

Thank you do much for the daily videos they warm my heart as a 33 living alone in London. I had anxiety attacks last week and wasn't able to move too much but watching your videos is so heartwarming thanks.

[@cozyhilarium]

Hugs, I hope you're feeling better this week. 47 in Austin, TX, and I get anxiety attacks too.

[@friabili]

You definitely need to do a colour analysis next!! I think there’s so many colours that would suit you better instead of black and grey☺️

[@sheri_reads]

I'm so glad you went to that Housing Works! That is my favorite one.They have an amazing book section!

[@k1ttydracoxx]

Greetings from Japan❤. This thrifting vlog in NYC makes me want to go back and live again in NY… I miss NY❤❤❤

[@kayleebontrager1825]

The bird shot at 5:45 is so cool! Also I love your scarf every time you wear it 😍

[@JoyfulPlantMom]

Good Will tip: check for which store days to get 30%, 50% off. Yes, deals are neverending at TJ Maxx end caps (red sticker prices) Glad you got so much out of thrifting. Absolutely better than your last adventure. What a good day 👍

[@therealhannahlee]

I looove the dress with the sparkly collar and the bow!! 🤩

[@donneverae3050]

Loved the hairclip with the lace bow. It's gave you such a glow.

[@tjp7342]

The hair accessories are definitely the best find!

[@tammykiefer7166]

Thank you for your Videos! They really help me feel better 🤗 And your cats are soooo cute☺

[@joannejenkins7379]

Wow you had an amazing shopping trip, everything looks great and those hair accessories, adorable!

[@twinmom5138]

Good morning, Chelsea. Happy Saturday! 👱‍♀️🐈‍⬛🐈

[@cierrasimpson116]

I accidentally stepped on my favorite hair clip that I had for years and broke it. My husband said “just go get another one!” I’m like “I can’t it’s not the same!” 😂

[@ChelseaCallahan]

that is devastating and I feel your pain 😭

[@TheresaREAberilla]

NYC Is my ever and forever --- dream place!!!! I think am gonna live there when am old!!!

[@bepbep6]

These New York city thrift prices are kinda crazy! That shrek shirt would go for a buck or two at my local store.

[@ChelseaCallahan]

oh no way!! yeah kinda sad I thought that a $10 shirt was only half the price of a sweetgreen salad *what a steal* lolol

[@dbunn1049]

You are such a hoot! You have such a romantically eclectic style - totally not me, but it is soooo you! Your hair clips looked beautiful. I take collagen and biotin gummies for my hair and nails. Took a few months but I can tell a big difference. Love your videos ❤

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Yes!!! I completely understand the hair clips!!!! Love the earrings too !!!! Loved todays video

[@lovinlife2535]

Glad your thrifting/shopping was a success. Thanks for taking us along!

[@au_barb]

I love the dress you thrifted, it's adorable! The kittens are so entertaining. I think they enjoyed your haul too. 😂 And congrats on the fundraiser doing so well! I'm so happy you chose to help LGBTQIA+ youth. Such an important cause. Thank you! 🫶🏻

[@dianetanski464]

I think what you have to consider when shopping for Christmas decorations is can you see whatever you’ve purchased as part of your yearly decorations for many years to come. I know I have purchased some things in the past like Disney ornaments of which I have like 100 at $15 apiece, and now that my kids are grown and moved out, I have no idea what to do with them. I have enough for at least two trees. So now that I’m older and we sometimes go away for Christmas I just do a fake small tree, and I find I have more than enough ornaments for that. Just a thought that when you’re looking at a decoration, can you see keeping that particular item for many years to Come. At your age, though I can see wanting a real tree in your home. I grew up with a real tree, and I had a real tree up until about eight years ago. Nothing beats a real tree.

[@robertladas5691]

I was in NY yesterday! Every time I go I hope to run into you! *HUGS*

[@mirandalewis3392]

I love that dress. With the beaded embellishment around the collar.

[@cozyhilarium]

I enjoyed shopping with you :). Really takes me back two decades to my time in the city.

[@rasseljassel]

Dear Chelsea, a few months ago YT recommended one of your videos to me even though I generally rarely watch vloggers or content from NYC, so it was a very nice surprise. I was instantely hooked and been watching ever since. I'm part of your silent audience but in this merry season I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your videos and relate with the parts of your private life you let us in on. I went back to rewatch your oldest videos and started from the beginning. Your journey is very inspiring. Our lives are very similar in many ways (single cat mom of two living alone by choice) and completely different in others (I mean you live in NY! 😅). But I feel so much comfort and in a way companionship when I put on your vlogs. Feel hugged from a far away city in Germany and I wish you happy holidays. Take care and please keep going (as long as you want of course). I am just so glad your chanel found me or the other way around. I really enjoy the creative Vlogmas videos. Byeeeeee 💫✌️Greetings from mine to your cats as well 🐈‍⬛🐈

[@amyfaurote1488]

WTH. I'm just going to say it: I love you as a perfect/imperfect human being. YES you're awesome 💯. Peace 🕊️

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Awe thanks Amy!

[@terribarnett4643]

Hair accessories for the win 👏

[@gettysburgmaam8437]

Love the hair bow! It's nice to see them coming back into style!

[@VanessaChats]

I love that you tried so hard to do a haul video with your cats as *that* is what made this really special. Also, Deli is starting to steal the show in all the little ways she does hahaha

[@MILES_4_TRAVIS]

Good morning! Have a wonderful weekend.

[@Amyfromthemoons]

not the shirt being 7,99 brand new with tags and 10 at goodwill nooooooo hahaha but the shrek shirt makes up for that!💚 loved the vibes in this video Chels and everything you got was so cute!

[@deluxeplueschi]

In the First Store there was a german „Räuchermännel“ Christmas Decoration. But only the top of it. Very funny 😅

[@ChelseaCallahan]

oh cool!!

[@kyliestark7356]

I love the clips especially the lace one and the long shirt is great 👍🏻 xxx another great Vlog.

[@Phantomstories1831]

Yay this makes my day have a new video of u thrift shopping so fun

[@sylviaestey8188]

A great hack is to buy a wreath and after you bake, attach the cookie cutters to the wreath for some holiday kitchen decor!!

[@catgee6325]

Hi Chelsea. Love thrift shopping. I think a lot of my home decor is thrifted. Thanks for another fun video❤

[@moda78z]

You found so much cute stuff! 😍

[@jsmith5509]

I really like your hair clips! The one with the pearls is so classic, elegant and chic.🌷

[@funny_space_nun]

On the 7th day of Vlogmas our dear Chelsea gave to her community: fun thrifting finds 🎀 Congrats on reaching $10k with the fundraiser - wohoo!

[@letakennedy]

Hi Chelsea! You found some amazing things during your outing. And those Grinch mugs - Tis the Season!

[@alexandramcpherson4189]

I'm scrolling on my phone while watching, winding down for the night, you held up that pink picture and I looked up at that exact moment and automatically said out loud, yeah I like.... lol

[@jessica.croswell]

My favorite part was when Deli stole the pen and then came back with it in her mouth. 😂 She should earn extra treats for her impressive background acting. 😻

[@marccolomayt82094]

Enjoying this sooooooo much! ❤

[@juicie25bt]

What a fun haul, loved every piece. I love when the stars align & I find cool stuff! U have a cute style.

[@JacquelineDenny-b9o]

YES! I'm so excited for the new additions to your closet! you really found some gems!

[@berleysd1935]

I just love how excited you are about your new things! It’s infectious!

[@isabellsiruo]

Chelsea thank you for always bringing out content that lifts me up and makes me happy ❤ in the world that we live in this is hard to find!

[@terrirose3975]

I love that dress!! The color is everything!

[@marilyncasas6679]

Hi Chelsea! Loved everything you bought, 😻 the clip with the bow looked very cute.

[@nathalie5064]

Hello Chelsea I wasn't much on youtube lately, so I have a lot to catch up on. I'm binge watching your vlogmas videos right now 😆, and I have to say I see some amazing efforts/changes in those videos. You were clearly prepared this year! Loved all the videos I've watched so far, I love the different musics you chosed, the way you filmed, and the cute drawings for the outro at the end with Deli, Gordo and the pigeon 😆 (I see those nice details). I also think you're really glowing in your videos. You look "at peace" in a way, or at least really motivated 😉 And for this video, I really like everything you purchased, and the hair accessories look really nice on you. PS: I need the christmas cat sweater you showed 😆 Thanks for those really enjoyable vlogmas videos 🤗

[@carolcopley3639]

How wonderful another shopping video I love it when you do this! What a wonderful experience. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I will watch this video over and over.

[@jenniferhollander]

Always love your videos and am low-key obsessed with your cats’ antics 😂😂 Looking forward to exploring your thrift recommendations!

[@heididuffie9640]

I love all of your new treasures you found on your thrifting adventure ! Great finds!!! I have really enjoyed your vlogmas!! Hugs from Niagara Falls, NY! ❤

[@vanessa_mayonesa]

I’m obsessed with your scarf!!

[@olivemygardens]

Oh my god- the cat Christmas sweaters!!! 😭🎄🐈🐈‍⬛ I wouldn't have been able to resist!! PS The hair accessories look so good on you! 💁‍♀

[@joyyboyy1]

Congrats to everyone for such amazing support of the fundraiser & to Chelsea for selecting such a great organization to support!!

[@blameitonblackstar]

I loved this video. I love thrifting so much! It was so cute how excited you were for your new purchases and that made me smile.

[@gurkov4e]

I love all the tops you got! They look so elegant and classy. And with that scrunchie, how you had it on… So stylish! I absolutely love it!

[@ABiteBetterbyEva]

I love the stuff you got at the thrift stores 😍 the hair accessories are so cool!!

[@mercedes7087]

[@chelleo5487]

Love the hair clips Chel ...... they all looked great in your hair !

[@kuukeli]

another great one

[@foo9877]

Ok I’m so glad you got the shrek shirt. Win of the day in my book

[@lodibotion3098]

it was one of those great thrifting days, where you see soo much you like and don't have enough space in your bag (or money left) to buy more. I can see you had a great time :) My favs were the Shrek T and the cup noodle ornament. Best part of the video is the cats though, they're so much fun to watch.Have a great, cozy Saturday, Chelsea! Greetings from rainy and cold af Germany 🤍

[@ape2023]

Hi Chelsea! Thank you for doing vlogmas ❤🎉 love from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@mohenn22smith27]

My granddaughter (12) found a cute boy style suit at Goodwill yesterday. $20! Thrifting is great fun. I love the hair clips and that bow is so cute. This was a really good episode!❤

[@AmandasBuns]

My family decided to do thrifted gifts this year and your video gave me the EXACT motivation I needed to get out here! Thank you 😄

[@julieden1820]

Honestly that last hair clip, not church more senorita and I’m here for it. It looked amazing x also can you go back and get that leaf picture and chair and mail it to UK. Thanks 😂

[@thecraftloft]

I love all the accessories! Well done!

[@Ka-ly8oi]

Love it, when you go thrifting! And it saves so much money and is sustainable. And often older things sind far more durable and better made than new cheap junk. I feel your outside filming has improved, liked it very much. It's good, to pause and show just one view like the one street corner (at the beginning) that was interesting. And the shot with the pigeons in the sky...love that.

[@Tims75312]

Thanks Chelsea soothing to watch again

[@AlekarinaMadrid]

I love to watch New York through you camera 😊 I actually don’t dream about being there, but when I see it through your vlogs I want to visit those places hehe, I love thrift storessssss! ❤ hey your cats 🥹 hahaha it reminds me of mine when they were babies 😅 they were exactly like that.

[@basiakleczka2165]

Hi Chelsea! I discovered your channel a year ago, and since then, I’ve been watching you regularly. I treat your videos like updates from a friend’s life! Your genuine energy is so inspiring. Keep doing what you do! Greetings from Poland

[@rugwis9155]

It is already late in the afternoon in my part of the planet and it couldn't be better than walking through New York's thrift shops with you - thanks a lot for letting us accompany you
