I didn’t fall in love with vintage because it was trending — I fell in love with it because it feels like home.

I grew up in Los Angeles, where style has always been loud, expressive, and unapologetically alive. Y2K wasn’t a Pinterest board — it was what we wore. Baby Phat, Bebe, statement pieces that made you feel seen. That energy — that vitality — is still stitched into everything I curate today.

My love for fashion started even earlier than that. My mom has always been a hustler — building businesses from the ground up, creating something out of nothing. I watched her repurpose, rework, and reimagine long before “sustainable fashion” was a buzzword. She taught me that style isn’t about price tags — it’s about vision.

Thrifting has been part of my life since I was a little girl. The thrill of the find. The second look. The piece that feels like it was waiting just for you.

In 2021, I started Love.at.2nd_look — first through pop-ups, where I realized something bigger than fashion was happening. It wasn’t just about selling clothes. It was about connection. Community. Girls hyping each other up in the mirror. Conversations over racks. Shared nostalgia.

Having a space now — a little piece of the city where I can curate that feeling in real time — is truly a dream come true.

Every piece inside Love.at.2nd_look is hand-selected. Not just because it’s cute, but because it carries energy. History. Attitude. Confidence.
