In my opinion your the best in utube . You explain everything you should be looking for and you show people some lovely purchases. I love watching you.❤

[@jo30ri48]

You have great taste and you definetely know how to stick to your style! Cheap prices can be really overwhelming and tempting to just get anything that looks good for a discount. But you really know how to get the treasures! That's what I'm learning from watching your vlogs....Great energy!

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much!! What a kind and lovely comment - I really appreciate it ♥️♥️♥️

[@SandraSlater-zx1ib]

You have such a good eye for pieces, love everything you bought today. You always look so classy.

[@themonicaway.]

That’s such a kind thing to say!! Thank you so much xxx

[@LRWdesign]

I enjoy how selective you are in getting things from charity shops. Here in USA I will do online thrifting for cashmere sweaters and high street dresses and even some Zara pieces I like. I like shopping secondhand. And when I purge my wardrobe I donate back to the secondhand charity shops locally. My favorite is an animal rescue charity shop. 🥰

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! Mainly because I can’t fit much more in my wardrobe 😳😂♥️ oh yes! I agree xxx

[@nickymercer4398]

Great vlog Monica, you certainly find lovely items, I personally love charity shopping 🥰

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed xx

[@annconroy4200]

Thanks Monica, great video. You got some classy clothes there, they look lovely. I love charity shops too x

[@qhelanikhumalo8797]

The cream blazer. 😋 I love it and it fits you perfectly. They are not easy to come by. I am looking for one actually. Lucky you¡!!!

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much!! Yes with some TLC it’ll be perfection!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@josephaLangSeb]

Hihi, Nice video, I like the idea of setting a budget to see what nice bits you find. Its great to keep the focus😂 Happy week😎

[@themonicaway.]

Haha! Deffo helps me with being more selective too 🥰 thanks for the kind words! Monica x

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

My favourite top is the faux silk top.😊

[@parnellbeth]

On your cream top you can try a dab of shaving cream on it. Just let is sit 5-10 minutes then sponge off with a wet cloth. Will take coffee stain out of carpet, etc.

[@clairerynn8752]

OMG the Laura Ashley top is pure class, love the silky top as well

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it xxx

[@sylwiasiuda5531]

Great finds! You have a great sense of style and very keen eyes for hidden treasures in charities! And those charities are really well stocked up, I envy you! Where I live charities are really poor, it's hardly anything worth getting 😢! Your doggo is soooo cute 😍! I'm always very happy to see other people dogs and hear when they talk about them in such a nice way as you do! I also have a dog and I tell her every day that she is a love of my life! I hope you will do more videos in the future as I thoroughly enjoy watching this type of content: great finds for very little money and lifestyle that is sustainable, not wasteful but very tasteful! Awesome! All the best!

[@caitlinodoko3512]

Love your approach to charity shopping - been a lot more aware myself and been trying things like sticking to a colour pallete (which i think was a tip from you on instragram at some point) but its made me LOVE fashion again…love this series ❤

[@lyndab7493]

Love all your videos. My favourite item was the pink silky top but I also liked all the other pieces too. You have a great eye for what looks good and also at great prices. And you give great tips and advice when going thrifting. I need to come shopping with you 😂 😘

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much!! ♥️♥️♥️♻️♻️

[@JehanineMelmoth]

I love Laura Ashley, and your top is my favourite piece from this haul. I have a navy Laura Ashley handbag - it looks fabulous, and appears to be indestructible! This weekend my husband and I visited our local Animals in Distress shop. I found a crisp white cotton M&S shirt that looks as if it was made for me, and a long navy cardigan too. I didn’t realise there was a half price sale on until I was at the till - £6 for the two lovely pieces! Your dog is gorgeous.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! Yes Laura Ashley is always a winner 😍♥️ Koda says thank you too! Monica Xxx

[@julielozano1852]

Great finds and I’m so glad you showed us a try on 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed xxx

[@julielozano1852]

@@themonicaway. maybe a colab either an American thrifter would be great 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@julielozano1852]

And your puppy and her eyes are beautiful 💕

[@lindawilcox6227]

Great items when I go charity shopping I can never find anything 😊 but I think it depends on where you live .

[@Dingle1234]

I just heard the bit about your belt (love the buckle) and then your husband, and immediately darted over to his channel to hear 'troubled water.' Beautiful! Funny I was just posting A Garfunkel's rendition in Central Park the other day. It's nice to see a young woman dressing so elegantly.

[@mcmoremak6190]

I’ve just gotten into thrifting. Love to watch you for inspiration.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much xxx

[@kateedwards3631]

Great fun video I like this way of doing it, lovely dog too xx

Hi Monica, some fantastic items in that haul. You have lovely style. I liked your watch….may treat myself to that at Xmas….i love perfume to…never heard of this one…look forward to a wee sample spray the next time I’m in the city. Thanks again ❤

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! Yes it’s a wonderful piece, I wear it every day ♥️ let me know your thoughts on the perfume! xxx

Hi Monica! This video was just as professionally presented as your other ones-can feel your excitement at all your bargains! you are the supa-shopper! How are your studies going, by the way? would love to hear about those, too! love sue xxx

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! I’m not actually studying - I run a business with my husband xx

[@suefranklin1476]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Sometimes if something is not my size and the price is reasonable, then I will buy it and pay to get it altered.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much!! Yes I agree ♥️♥️♻️

[@jacintamcmahon553]

I just love site. I’m in my sixties but love how glamorous you are. I’ve started to shop in charities shops and get so excited by the bargains😱I’ve used lots of your tips👍 My husband is also delighted at the money he’s saving😂😂😂😂 love that you mix expensive and second hand, something I’ve always done! Please keep up I love watching❤️

[@themonicaway.]

Haahahah my husband feels the same! Thanks so much ❤ xx

[@PatriciaEnright]

Hello Monica, I enjoyed today's format...it's just like being there with you and the buzz of finding something really good on those rails. Great to share the fitting on with you too. Especially like the cream jacket...classic and classy. Your styling tips are very helpful. Love the dress you are wearing with bespoke belt. I'm starting to channel my clothes into a more classic colour combinations thanks to you! Ps Koda is adorable 😍

[@melaniefarrow7152]

I wish US had true charity shops. You always find the best pieces.

[@mansoor3159]

[@themonicaway.]

You’re so kind! Thanks for your support ♥️

[@user-cf8sn3nv5b]

Fantastic haul

[@themonicaway.]

Thank you xxx

[@DA-ui4uc]

You have inspired me, I have always liked charity shopping but you have given me the tools to look for the right things. I have just been to my local charity shop and bought three items totalling £12, including a Joules padded jacket. Total cost if I had bought all three new would have been £230. It's a no brainer.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! And wow, £230 in savings! Wahooooo 🎉 xxx

[@ArwenNMyrtlesMom]

That Laura Ashley top could also be styled with red.

[@themonicaway.]

Agree 🍓🍓🍓🍓

[@lindsaymcpupps2615]

Hi Monica, you find some wonderful things. My local charity shop has stopped taking things, as they have too much. I think reducing some of the goods they have, would still make money, and make way for more Better for our pockets too Win Win Loving your videos xx

[@themonicaway.]

Love this!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@themonicaway.]

And thank you xxxxx

[@journeyswithjay]

Adore your new series! 🙌🏼

Aww! Thanks so so ouch! Really appreciate that and Koda says thank you too!! 🐾♥️♥️♥️

[@cketts8128]

Yet another fun video! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again 😂…you have exquisite taste! I loved the off the shoulder blouse but mostly the boat neck Laura Ashley top…just classy 👌🏻🧡💚.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! Oh yes, its definitely one of my faves! Monica xx

[@tinahowson8335]

Hi Monica, love this format. I thought the boat neck top was super cute and really suit. Very chic. That said I loved all the items you purchased, certainly have an eye. I now have a Monica watch, I love it and receive many compliments. As I am petite it suits my wrist perfectly!!! Any tips on finding good petite trousers. I really struggle here as I can sometime make a dress out of the bottoms I have to cut off or the fitting is not true petite. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I look forward to the next xx

[@leesabailey2453]

Love your channel . All your videos are awesome. Would love a shoe video Have a blessed day

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much!! So kind ♥️

[@martinjewiss1059]

I love your video's Monica, Charity shopping is in my blood... your fur baby, she is absolutely gorgeous, 🥰thank you for sharing with us. from Laura ( not Martin )

[@debrasams2362]

Great video! Just wondering if the charity shops are close together in an area or scattered throughout. Love the Laura Ashley shirt. The cream jacket top would be chic and elegant with a navy shirt also. And with a matching scarf, so elegant. Thanks for sharing these great tips.😊

[@caroldunkerley9541]

Hi monica lovely video what fab buys the clothes look lovely on you xxx

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks soo much! Glad you enjoyed it xxx

[@francinepuskarich5755]

Gorgeous. And your beautiful four legged kid.

[@LyndaS.]

❣❣❣Loved this video.👍🙂

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much ♥️♥️

[@niefiazupancic3063]

You definitely have great charity shops in the UK - any change you can include the address of the shops you visit - I live in the US but am planning a trip to the London area in 2025 - Would love to visit your favorite shops.

[@avril3294]

New to your channel and enjoyed your last two videos. Where do you do your shopping I.e which town. And intrigued to know your dry cleaner in Manchester as I’m a proud Mancunian. 😊Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! Very kind. They’re called ‘village dry cleaners’ and they specialise in wedding dresses - high recommend xxx

[@ranurene2018]

❤

[@debbiestott3651]

You look like a million dollars. What a haul. Great to watch and what a steal.

[@katmac5386]

❤❤❤

[@themonicaway.]

♥️♥️♥️

[@teresasayner668]

Where is cyprus did you have the belt made, I’m going in a few months and would love to visit the maker.

[@themonicaway.]

I’m so sorry! I stumbled across it - it was a lovely elder gentleman and on a main shopping street in Larnaca I believe! But that’s all I remember - hope you find it xxxx

[@am-yu6jo]

I never seem to find the goodies you do. I did buy the watch you wear but find it flimsy and very lightweight. Love your content though 🌷

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! Yes its lightweight but wouldn’t say flimsy - should last you a lifetime 🥰

[@estherafenyo5631]

I'm in Africa, how do I shop. Awaiting your reply pls

[@themonicaway.]

Hello! I haven’t been charity shopping in Africa I’m afraid xx
