I live in Japan and I sell worn clothes on secondhand marketplaces- sometimes companies like Buyee would buy them from me. My dream is that one day my clothes end up with someone fashionable like you!!

[@mazzystarlover18362]

where do you sell your clothes?? :)

[@havana6020]

@@mazzystarlover18362 mostly on Mercari!

[@Hannah-kr3ys]

This is such a sweet comment🥹

[@jordanalexis319]

This is so cool! I wish mercari let me search sellers I would love to see your page do you have a link?

[@kristiesmile9463]

i would love to bulk buy from u!! Can u tell me a way to contact u?

[@logicspock3110]

Are you feeling better? Or at least stable? I hope that your depressive episode passed ❤

[@hanc5082]

The first t-shirt is inspired by the British punk band The Sex Pistols. They started the punk movement in London in the 70s and inspired so much of the fashion and clothes from that era :) your videos are so fun and as a Brit I just wanted to share that cultural reference with you x

[@charlotteslays]

omg i thought that it matched one of their cds i have so similarly

[@thoughtfulghost]

that makes sense it reminded her of nana, they reference the sex pistols and vivienne westwood a lot!

[@Ruby-un4zo]

This is so funny because I just got my items from buyee like two days ago!! Took three months because I paid for the least expensive shipping. You have great taste, love these items!!!

[@sky-zo2ml]

can i ask how much you paid for shipping? i wna see if the price is so extreme everywhere

[@livpluslaurstan]

Sad to hear about the depressive episode, experiencing a bit of that right now actually. Love the pieces you got, personally been loving vests, leather blazers, and bandanas. Would like to see you style these pieces 🤩

[@gabriellaberman]

This video made me so envious omg. I’m a size 16 and super broke, so the jealousy was off the charts. All such cute pieces

[@megansimonson]

I feel you loud and clear. :')

[@ReggyCupcake]

I too go through major depressive episodes where i buy things ive been wanting. You found some really beautiful things 🤎 i hope you’re feeling better. And hey. You look gorgeous even in pajamas! I’m glad youre happy with your purchases. At the end of the day thats all that matters

[@aliyahstormblessed5862]

I finally did it... made my first purchases through buyee tonight. i've been properly influenced 😅 funnily enough the most expensive thing i bought was a splatoon x sanrio keychain. the clothes were very reasonably priced!

[@amberledrew6208]

Hope you are feeling better, depression is awful :(! Don't ever feel you need to compare yourself to anyone, you are perfectly unique 🙂!! Ps everything you got is really cool and you styled them perfectly!

[@ayo_hitman_bang_introduces]

I hope you're feeling better! Your videos are always enjoyable. Also, the brand recommendations and tips are 💯💯

[@pliktl]

Both my sister and I have been fighting against the biggest wave of depression. It's been nothing short of paralyzing. I get it. It comes out of flipping nowhere

[@mahi-fn6to]

literally gasped when i saw that lace skirt it looks like its aniye records & the outfits they did for twice’s tour !! im obsessed

[@renley5778]

One time I thrifted leather pants and I couldn't get the cigarette smell out so I convinced myself it was part of the aesthetic. So yeah I get it.

[@aptdccvii]

so sorry to hear of your mental health the past weeks, hope you're doing better! + it's crazy how such a style icon as you are gets insecure about her style :( it has always been my problem as well, even when i feel incredibly satisfied with my outfits i cant help but compare (or just anything seriously, i cant help but compare anything) and feel down and overthink it afterwards

[@windws7137]

Truth

[@llera_navi]

love everything from this haul!!! and i'm so excited that you ended up getting the pinky st figures, i used to collect them years ago and they were easier to find back then 😣 will defo have to use buyee to get more in the future!! i also love the pinky street nintendo ds game, it's a super fun rhythm game and of course the little outfits are adorable 💖

[@chicobeanss4474]

the happiness i feel when youtube notifies me that u uploaded !! ❤❤

[@Ciaoies]

layering queen, love all your finds!

[@tinka6468]

I Love using smaller glasses like these for candles, little tea lights! I think your new one would look cute ❤

[@riverAmazonNZ]

Feeling inspired! I can see why you bought all of those things. Lots of great choices ❤

[@cooleeleep]

Omg yayyyy I’m glad you’re back! I hope you’re able to start posting regularly again. I’m glad you prioritized your mental health tho!

[@kamsiyonna2372]

I love how you put these outfits together omg its sooooo cool

[@ktnobles90]

Was going through some older videos and found this one. I'm also an avid Buyee user and J-fashion wearer! Some of my favorite brands to search for are Choop, Swimmer, Listen Flavor, Amavel, Galaxxxy, Maxicimam.

[@ginny7592]

I hope you’re feeling better! ❤ And I’d love to see a video where u recreate outfits from the magazines! Also I bought 50$ of random stuff because there was strawberries in it like every nana fan prob

[@evelyneca7454]

That punk Union Jack T-shirt is so cool!

[@DN-oe1ue]

I hope you're feeling better now 🥺💖. Your fashion sense is impeccable and your hairstyle is so cute 😭💞.

[@fiorellamendoza1505]

Omgggg the mouse its like topo gigio!! So cute

[@alexasunshine83]

That blue ribbon top is so gorgeous! I will now have to check out buyee ah!

[@alexlme3871]

My favorites were definitly the cream lace skirt and the banana milk mouse sweater ! 💖 I'm looking for a similar skirt lately but it's hard to find the perfect one !

[@ellyesparza779]

THE MOUSE TEE AND THE FUR COLLARED COAT AHHHH STOOPPPP SO CUTE

[@Mollieslay]

Loving the bratz yasmin in the back!!! I have one from back when they first came out. Love the haul!

[@kathrynwall6488]

The mini glasses set would look so cute with come t light candles inside of them!

[@alirene7111]

3:07 I'm obsessed with this graphic tee - skirt combo 😍 hope you're feeling better :)

[@kitontonlubber]

Always love your videos ❤❤❤ thanks for sharing and hope you’re feeling supported

[@CallMeCardamom]

Bit random but do you think you'll ever do a behind the scenes on how you make videos cause the editing is always so cool Also hope you're feeling a bit better now

[@retrogurl.]

luv everything you purchased!

[@daryabanshi6804]

Are feeling better now? Hope so! You most cute and comfy person I’ve every seen! Love you and your content ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nicolegonzalez4893]

This is the sign that I needed to online shopping:)

[@tara1638]

Absolutely obsessed with your style! ❤

[@ceciwaage8404]

The pattern on the knitted top looks like «selburoser» which is a common pattern to see in Norway!

[@LibraryCake]

The winter design is called fair isle!

[@soscarlet]

THIS HAIRSTYLE IS SO CUTEE

[@a8gel]

HI i used to order through neokyo another japan proxy, I think its a little cheaper than buyee!

[@messerabadeer1084]

You're seriously my favorite channel on YT 💜💜 Everytime you upload, my day gets better, ily :3 Btw, it would be fun seeing you style vkei n.n, Mana sama's brand (Moi-même-Moitié) would be perfect for it 🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@PW100p]

h.Naoto has some really good stuff, tends to be more on the expensive side though!!!! but the lace camisoles are SOOO pretty

[@-Lotta-]

Your hair and make up looks really nice in this video 💕 And the blue cardigan you are wearing during the talking bits looks soo cozy. Where is it from ?

[@tessarose8430]

always love a video from you! i was wondering, where should i look for cute bloomers like the ones you have at 10:30?

[@ChelseyFuredi]

The dress at 10:15!!! the way I gasped

[@ellyesparza779]

I feel you with that comparison b.s. .. happy to see you're getting out of that slump though!

[@aabcc]

Ahh those green envelopes are so exciting to see! I've only ever used buyee to order figures but im def gonna do some digging for clothes next time, ive always wanted something from Axes Femme and for some reason never put it together that i should check Mercari JP 😵‍💫 The tip about asking them to remove shipping boxes is really interesting, ive never heard of anyone asking them to do that before. I've ordered some very small figures that were shipped to me in their Japanese shipping boxes and man, its such a waste if room! Ill have to look into that next time too. I've heard of other proxies doing this by default, i think it was zenmarket or neokyo?

[@ariella_jpg]

I just had the cutest video idea, you should do a video of outfits based on Kpop light sticks! Maybe 2 for each lightstick, one more masc and one more fem! I would absolutely love to see what you’d come up with

[@poppysydney3564]

You have a very unusual sence of style :) Everything you chose looks beautiful.

[@izuyo3391]

omg! just a day after i bought 3 bags on there :") i'm also in australia and praying the shipping isnt too mean to me :( also that blue knit top is the cutest!!

[@p0cky_addict]

this is so tempting to try, but I'm worried about if the clothes would fit right since I have a larger bust. love j-fashion so much though!

[@paigetaaffe3958]

so many cool finds!!! i'm trying to find more clothes through mercari but i am plus size and idk what plus size brands are out there :(

[@ambrehello]

yaaay ur back omgg 🤍

[@sillyeh2222]

Where is the blue jacket you are wearing throughout the video from? I love it soooo much!!

[@Milkythefawn]

Ur just like me fr fr. (I just bought a new lolita skirt and a bunch of old MA*RS setups) I have a buyee addiction 😭😭

[@namelast440]

KATIE IN HER BUYEE ERA???

[@taytaypirouettes8565]

Omg u finally figure it out 😅! Welcome to the club! 😊. Good finds!!!!

[@mimiko7965]

How do you use it??

[@Obibopbop]

You’re a queen

[@SunnyBee666]

I've been finding myself looking up "Merry Jenny" a lot lately, I'm not sure it'd be a main search for you, but they have some pieces I think you'd like :>

[@heresalook]

13:24 I was trying to figure that out last December! It’s called “fair isle” (isle is pronounced like “shopping aisle”)

[@nessasmall7498]

i have such a hard time finding stuff on buyee 😪

[@urhexgirl]

so many amazing finds! is this site any good for plus size finds, I’d assume not since it’s Japanese but I’m asking just in case!?

[@stargirl_lee]

I love buyee hehe living our nana dreams

[@keigorrito]

BRO THE VW BUTTON UP. I am dead. 😩

[@nothingpenguin7576]

Hi! You mentioned mercari, I'm wondering how you access it here in aus?

[@heart-iz]

Aaaa the WJSN Chocome reference

[@oddlyozel]

I hate how they make kids clothes so cute 😢 why can't I be cute too

[@wizard-lizard]

All these pieces are super cute! Genuine question though, for brands like Vivian Westwood, that aren't necessarily Japanese (unless it's really popular/has different items there), wouldn't it be extra expensive to buy it from Japan instead of somewhere closer?

[@bece00]

Shopping VW from japan is actually usually cheaper! Vivienne Westwood has been super popular there for a long time so lots of people have older vintage pieces that go for cheaper. The market is pretty oversaturated in Japan and the Yen is relatively weak. At least to USD! 😄 just thought id let you know

[@wizard-lizard]

@@bece00 That makes a lot of sense! I had never noticed that before in my very basic Japanese fashion exposure so thanks for clarifying! :)

[@wildlyAJ]

this is pretty late haha, not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but One Map From Japan is a pretty good one that only charges you the extra 300 yen after the stuff get to the warehouse, forgot how exactly it worked but from what i remmeber its 300 yen for the whole package if you decide to ship em at once?

[@graceleathers5970]

Where is your cross and Pearl necklace from??

[@doku_doku1]

i definitely think that women's hysteric glamour pieces are priced out the hell-hole for no reason at all, but for men's clothes, its pretty easy to find t shirts and tops for around or mostly under $50.

[@wolke3282]

omd love the video!

[@nirbanana013]

finally something i can spend my money on 😈😈😈😈

[@briananicolesalas7489]

The first t shirt is something spiderpunk would TOTALLY wear

[@Honeyin2013]

I really hope some of those brands start to do bigger sizes/adult sizes Bec they are soo cute!! But will never be able to fit me 😢

[@vx1028]

Everytime I go on buyee I get overwhelmed and confused as to how to use it 🙃

[@skellexis404]

thank you this is just the website i was looking for as a petite woman. Much of the xxs/xs vintage clothing on other resale websites is literal children’s clothes, which is not flattering and makes me appear younger. I’ve had better luck with asian clothing brands but rarely find them on the common resale websites.

[@skellexis404]

the styles are also so unique

[@katherine1129]

Anyone know where her gorgeous cardigan is from? >.

[@kev91122]

Never used it. They took out valuable item from ordered item and said they couldn’t do anything because I’ve applied Lite Plan for the item in my package.

[@cookiefaits]

i love scrolling through buyee but i've never placed an order bc i'm scared of the shipping fee 😕

[@emileeb605]

If you’re just getting some clothes as long as you don’t get like heavy winter coats or a ton of stuff it should only be like $20-$30

[@succinyerbollz]

Ok yes, outfits. BUT HOW DO I RECREATE THAT HAIRSTYLE HELLO

[@kristie3592]

You are not insane. I made stories up about thrift store clothes. It made them way more interesting.

[@johnsbananashawol7054]

how are you meant to know what it has arrived at the warehouse? do you get a notification or an email about it 👁👁

[@beanziea]

hiii !! ur so cool! :D

[@pipisochkaaaa]

If you have a cigarette smell from second-hand clothing item you should keep it for like a month in the freezer, it usually does the trick 4 me

[@minerva3971]

katie giving us delusional girl representation (affectionate)

[@levii6126]

I don’t get how buyee works :(

[@annablue2799]

You could cut the dress into a skirt

[@hitmies]

omg where did you get your blue zip up sweater in the video!

[@angeange674]

For the hysteric glamour, translate and search by Japanese brand low to high and youll find things closer to 30$

[@bzztthundaa]

💘💘💘

[@windws7137]

These childrens brands are so stylish, in my area they're kinda cringey😭

[@mafen5360]

🤡🤡🤡
