Dates with the main 6 of the Arcana 💖💙💖💙💖💚

In the Arcana times, there are many ways to have a good time with your new boo. How could they impress you? Where would they take you? How would they show their affection? OH SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, shall we start? 🔥🔥🔥

Asra🔮🔮🔮-

Asra. You've known him for a while now of course, you two have been getting close;). But he wants to take things a step further.

Asra, a magician at heart, plans for the very right day to settle this date. When the time comes, he asks you to go star gazing with him.

That night, y'all both walk to the docks, to find a boat waiting for y'all two. You gasp of the site of a picnic basket of your favorite home cooked food, a bottle of wine (a gift from Nadia) and two glasses, one cozy blanket for two at the edge of the boat.

You hug Asra tightly. Why wouldn't you? It seems he put so much thought into this!!! He blushes and rubs your cheek softly.

"Shall we?"

He helps you onto the boat and wraps you in the blanket. He sits on the other side and presents you with the delicious food, and feeds you.

Soon, yall get playful, and you try to see if you can land food slices in his mouth. Takes a few tries but you finally make it in!

Yall both laugh for a while and then he looks at your eyes softly. You can tell he wants to say something, but it seems he's trying to find the right words to use.

"Mc... you just... you look so gorgeous tonight. Your eyes sparkle as these beautiful elegant stars. Your skin looks so radiant under the moonlight. The way you smile, gives me hope of purity in this world," he kisses your hand.

You can't help but blush like crazy. "Asra..."

He looks up, "Gasp, Mc look! That's the constilation i wanted to show you!"

You look up to find your zodiac. Asra finally gets in the blanket with you and cuddles you as y'all both tell stories of the stars ~♡♡♡

Nadia👑👑👑-

Ahhh Nadia. She has been paying attention to you. Seeing your interest, seeing what makes you smile, what you have been wanting for a long time but never have said.

She notices a you astound when you watch as the theaters men announces the new show coming soon. She sees your eyes shimmer with passion.

On the day the theater sells tickets, she goes to buy two for the show. Excited and eager to surprise you, she even buys you a new cute flashy outfit to go with from your favorite shop.🔥🔥🔥

When you come back home, you see a your bed covered with a new outfit with two tickets to the theater today!!!!

You're heart races and you jump with glee. Then you noticed a letter by the tickets-

"To my lovely mc, i do hope you accompany me to the theater tonight. And i hope you adore your new clothing. You deserve it sweetie. I shall see you tonight, love Nadia~♡"

You smile and hug the letter. Save it for memories of course.

That night, you get ready for your date with washing your hair with berries, soaking your skin in natural spring water, and get everything else done by the help of Portia.

"You look great for milady," she smiles.

When you walk outside of the castle, you see Nadia with her blooming essence of beauty, wear an elegant matching colored dress, whjte silk gloves all the way down to her fore arm, and her hair down and wavy, shinning under the moon light.

You just gawk as she smiles. Kissing your cheek and takes your hand as y'all head to the theater.

As y'all watch, you both see Julian preforming. He notices yall two both and winks at Nadia and you.

Y'all two laugh and cry, and even hold each others hands when it gets suspenseful. As y'all hold hands, Nadia turns your face by the grasp of your chin, to softly kiss your tender lips with a blush on her face.

As the show ends, y'all both clap and throw roses at Julian. "My my, and may i thank my two lovely guest Nadia and Mc!" He speaks to the crowd. The light goes to yall two, and the crowd claps for yall two, even whistling. Y'all both blush and smile at everyone seeing Julian finger gunning y'all both.

As you walk Nadia home, she places another kiss on your cheek. You hold her hands and kiss her forehead. "Thank you for a lovely night Nadia."

She smiles, "oh my dear Mc, thank you, for you have shown me a good time and the best of company. I wouldn't want anyone else to spend my time with♡"

Julian 🍺🍺🍺-

Ah Juls. Energetic like always and would do anything to make you smile. He decides to do something diffrent for a change instead of taking you to the rowdy raven, he decides to do something a little more fun.

Y'all go for a walk in the city. Everyone of course greets yall two, y'all are quite well known around these parks.

"See if you can, see if you will! To out smart the amazing magician Asra!!!!"

Y'all both turn to see Asra at a booth with three cups in front of him.

He notices yall, "Hey! Julian, Mc! How are you doing?" He giggles. You and Julian walk forth to him as he has a customer. The man pays 2 coins. "You won't out smart me this time Asra!"

Asra just smiles, "sure sir." He shuffles the three cups faster than lightning. Julian and I exchange glances and smile. The man choose a cup, "this one! I know it!". Asra lifts up the cup the man says with nothing under.

As the man groans and leaves, Asra tells us to sit down. "What's the catch dear Asra?" Julian asks. Asra smiles, "you find the ball under the cup after i mix it. If you find it, you earn a huge stuff animal and 100 coins."

Asra whispers to yoy, "Nadia asked me to do this in order to raise money for animals." He winks.

Julian notices you gazing at the stuffed animal. "Well, as long as it's for charity." He smiles.

"What do you say MC?" He stands and announce to everyone. "Who thinks i can beat the great and powerful Asra?!"

The crowd cheers. Asra smiles and switches the cups around. "That one," Julian points at tge farther rigjt cup. Asra lifts and sure enough, no ball.

"I-," Julian is speechless. Asra winks at you. "How about one more time Julian?" You ask. "I- *ahem* i suppose it wouldn't hurt..."

Asra switches the cups again. This time, you notice he doesn't cheat and makes the ball disappear. "This one," Julian points to the midde.

Asra lifts the cup up

"HAHA! I DID IT!" Julian hugs you tight. Everyone chears for Julian! The crowd roaring.

"Well what do you say Juls?" Asra asks. "Bear, or money?"

Julians gives you a smile. "The bear my good magicain." You hug Julian tight and he blushes.

He gets on his knees, "for you, my Mc, for when i must leave you to my duties, or foe whatever reason that despairs your well being from me, this bear would be here for you." He hands it to you. You cant help but kiss his lips softly.

Muriel ⛰⛰⛰-

Muriel is very shy and usually you take him out to dates. But for once, he wants to do something special for you.

Muriel is really really nervous and he doesn't even know where to start. Asra has given him advice about dates, but still, the thought makes Muriel so nervous...

He paces around, thinking of ideas. Then it hits him... one of the many things he is great at.

Later that night, he asks you to go with him to the forrest. Y'all both walk for a while, until you pass a few bushes to see paradise.

Beautiful river flows by, forrest trees dance with the wind, fire flies spirt around what seems to be two logs and a campfire in the center. You gaze on such a beautiful site, Muriel sees you and smiles slightly to himself

"Come," he mumbles. Taking your hand and letting you sit on a log by his. He sits there for a moment, as almost as you can hear his heart beat. He seems a lil sweaty.

Finally, he mumbles, "i want to carve you".

W H A T ?!

You look at him confused and slightly startled. His eyes widen realzing what he just said. "WAIT- NO, I-"

He blushes really hard and you notice a wood carving stick and a piece of wood. He wants to carve a picture of you. You smile.

He gets up, face very red. He walks towards you and brushes your cheek, concentrating on your features. You can't help but blush.

Minutes later your there posing on your side. Looking at the river, wind swinging through your hair, while the flower crowns, braclets, and even a lil belt flows withen you.

Muriel would carve, look up at you, abd start to carve again. "You know.." he starts. It takes a while for him to continue. Finally, "im not really all that good at this... but no matter how hard i try, i don't think i could never carve the beauty of you perfectly in this carving of you."

You blush like crazy. When he sees you blush he looks away, eyes widen and more red than you. "i mean-!!!" He stops. He looks at his masterpiece.

He smiles and hands it to you. You gasp in amazement. It catches your ever facial features, your body structure, everything. You get so happy you hug him tight with glee.

You give him a huge kiss on the lips and you feel his cheeks warm. He hugs you as you lay your head on his face.

The rest of the night you cuddle by the fire.

Portia😽😽😽-

Portia. Your main girl. She loves you so much, girl can cuddle you forever. Y'all both like to wonder the city.

One day, Mazelinka and her crew find a map of secret treasure!!!!

When Mazelinka tells Portia, her first reaction was to invite you. Of course Mazelinka was more than happy to bring you along!

When Portia tells you about the trip you both pack y'alls things and get ready to set sails!!!!

As y'all board the ship, Mazelinka still has to recruit more shipmates. While she goes to the city, you and Portia are there alone. You hug her tight as she kisses your neck.

She looks around and winks, "Let's have some fun."

Y'all both explore the ship, it's a new one that y'all never been on before. She loves to explore new things. While y'all two look around, you see two ship mates being jerkfaces to a smaller shipmate.

You and Portia hate bullies!!! Portia grows an evil smile. "We can't let them get away with this."

Yall both climb to the top deck. You get the rope and bucket while Portia gets some gross plain oatmeal from the kitchen.

Minutes later, when you see the two shipmates walking to your trap, you signal Portia to get ready.

Both shipmates step onto the center of the circle rope, you give out the signal and Portia drops the bucket. The rope grabbing them two as they fly up as on the other side the bucket comes down filled with stones. The two hang on the air, screaming, "WHO DID THIS?!" "WE WILL KILL YOU!!!!"

Portia signals you, and you grab a mini wooden tub filled with gross oatmeal. You give a thumbs up to Portia and she cuts the rope.

The two sailor mates fall head first into the tub. Y'all both laugh super hard.

You both tie them up to a wooden pole, and wait for Mazelinka to come back.

When she does, she asks what the hell is going on?! Y'all explain everything to her, and she gets mad. She kicks them both out, thanking you, and as for the smaller ship mate, he thanks y'all two for everything.

In fact, he let's yall stay together in his room, filled with a hot indoor bath, comfy bed, with ironically, chocolates and sweet bread.

As y'all both relax in the tub, she leans in, laying her head on your chest. "Today was fun," she smiles. "I always have the most fun with you Mc... thank you for coming to this trip with me. Only you can make this fun for me."

You smile as she kisses your cheek. Later that night, yall both stare at the moon, and let the ocean winds cool y'all while y'all hold hands.

Lucio🐐🐐🐐-

You and Lucio have been kicking it off pretty great lately. He always spoils you with gifts and charms.

One night, y'all two are drinking tea on the castle balcony. He just adores how lovely you look as you drink your tea. He smirks and you ask what's up?

"Just can't help it. You're just too-"

He pauses

"Hot, heh."

You smile. He looks inside and back at you. He stands and pulls you towards him. You question him.

"Why don't we take this indoors darling?" And you let him take you inside. Into his bedroom.

He sits you into his bed. "My dearest mc," he spins and surprises you with a rose in his mouth, sliding his finger up your chin. He spins you and grabs you by the waist.

"Tango with me."

You hear an orchestra playing, coming inside the room. He spins you out and back in, dipping you down. He covers your eyes with his hands, as he motions to the servant to set up the rose petals around the room, lighting up candles, and motions to the orchestra on playing a higher, more energetic tune.

He removes his hand from your eyes. He brings you closer to him as yall dance in squares. He spins you and dips you around.

You smirk. You surprise him by taking the lead. You spin him and lift him in the air. "my my Mc!!! Aren't you a pro"

It's true. Nadias sisters have given you lessons before. You dip Lucio, and as he comes up he pulls you closer till your cheeks touch, arms forward, strancing towards the orchestra. He spins you and catches you as you fall. Spin again as you grab him, wrapping your arms around you, he spins swinging you around as you laugh.

Finally, as the tune end, he dips you on top of him as he lays on the bed.

You feel his shirt open up and see his chest. You can't help but to kiss it softly. He motions for the orchestra to leave, giving y'all two privacy.

Y'all have a full on makeout session, he softly smiles as he nibbles your ear lobe. He claps his hands as servants come to serve him wine. Two glasses are filled as y'all slowly drink together.

He rubs your cheek, "to you, my mc, for many moons later we shall still be together. I shall tear anyone apart who tries to steal you away! Hehe, your too cute, and you get me. You understand me..." he smiles and kisses your forehead. "Without you, i wouldn't be here today my dear."

Y'all two continue to kiss for the rest of the night

Request are still open♡♡♡ feel free to ask anything on my page

Hhhh bunni legs pain accomplishment day

I HAVE FINISHED THE SHOPPING OF HELL

Tfw u only get paid 4 days before christmas and have to rush everything aaaa

It was bad enough today so i'm so glad i got it done before it got even more busy!

Misc boring essentials i bought for myself: new phone charger cos broken, new trousers cos i spilt hair bleach on my only two pairs, new shoes cos my left shoe literally snapped in half down the middle like wtf even happened there, cheap pink hair dye from a discount store cos i wanna try different colours but in a thrifty way

Now for EXCITING CHRISTMAS PRESENT TIME!!!!

First off SO MANY pc and xbox 360 games from Every Charity Shop In Cardiff, St Mellons, Rumney and Llanrumney. My sis has been trying to find some games to play but was like 'dont worry about it i can just wait til the charity shop gets something good'. So i thought i'd get some stocking stuffers via all the charity shops on my side of town. By our powers combined we will blitz the entire vale of glamorgan's discount gaming scene!!! I found SO MANY good stuff for £1/£2/£3 like holy shit i love when charity shops dont know the proper price for shit XD

speaking of which i also found a WEBCAM for £2! If its that cheap it probanly isnt great but itd still be fun to play around with! :D and the same store also had an old vintage G1 My Little Pony coffee mug in excellent condition. Oh god the nostalgia! My support worker gave me a lift to llanrumney so i had to awkwardly explain why i had an armful of weird 80s mugs and big teary eyes!

Speaking of vintage, i found this new vintage toys and games shop in cardiff called Galactic Attic! The name hooked me in and then they actually DID have pokemon inside! As well as all sorts of stuff ranging from 40s to 90s, wow! There was even a lil pile of old 90s gaming magazines in the corner, covered up by a bunch of boxes. I'm glad i noticed them! I got the announcemt issues for pokemon diamond pearl and platinum in a weird old pokemon fan magazine that i loved as a kid. Im kinda sad that nowadays we just have one official magazine fpr each console and not the wild madness of amateaur journalists failing horribly to get news from japan. Shame they didnt have Beckett Pokemon cos that one was infamous fot drawing its own terrible interpretations of pokemon sprites to avoid copyright. And speaking of terrible, they even had bootleg pokemon!! I talked to the cashier and he was like "you know those are fake right" and i was like "yeah its so nostalgic thats why i want em" and he was like "lol yeah they actually sell pretty well so i'm not mad my supplier ripped me off". It was a pretty good and awesomely terrible fake at the same time? There was this exact replica of some japanese display stand for the product and then the actual pokeball toys looked perfect BUT the mini pokemon inside were.. Really not. I am so damn happy with the surprise inside my one, surprise inside has never been more accurate! I can't take a picture now cos my phone is charging but REGICHEETO. Just..just imagine that, and whatever you're imagining it is probably worse. I love it so fuckin much. Also less hilariously there were some bootleg mini pika plushies with actually (as far as i can tell) their own unique design? They have cute lil winter scarves and an art style that reminds me of the Magical Pokemon Adventure manga. A really cute and good bootleg that i would have loved to see as a real product! The only way you can even tell its a bootleg is because there's no marking on the tail. I dunno, maybe if i still have some brown fabric in the cupboard i could fix it? Or maybe its unique tail makes it even more special! I mean there's Cosplay Pikachu with its double tail marking so maybe this is her cousin Accessory Pikachu with no markings? He just likes wearing scarfs and hats and stuff. OMG HE'S THE POKEMON GO EVENT PIKACHU!!!!!!

Along the miscness of finding a few things for myself, i also found: cute lil pokemon pencilcase, kingdom hearts blind bag, cheap copy of Fruits Basket volume 1 cos the new remake is coming out soon and i wanna Get Hype! The KH blind bag was really weird cos i didnt know they now have an entirely different set as well as the keychains i bought before. Its kind of a shame the art style doesnt match cos vexen is only in the keychains, alas! But i do really love these ones! Theyre apparantly made by funko pop but dont have the art style AT ALL, they just look like really accurate versions of the characters in mini form. Its kinda like the 'distance animation' style in steven universe? (Incidentally they also do SU ones but they missed the opportunitu to actually use the distance style, lol) I got a Sora in his kh2 outfit and i'm decently happy with that, its not one i really wanted but its not a bad one either. But i think now i've tried the fun of surprise once i'll just buy the actual ones i want off ebay later. They have roxas in his organization outfit! With a happy smile!!!

Oh oh and then EVEN MORE XBOX GAMES OF THE WILD THRIFT STORE VOID! i managed to find the whole fable series, two assassins creeds, saints row, gta, some misc shooter games and racers that she wanted but i dont know much about, mass effect 2 and ff13. I think maybe one or two others cos i cant fully remember right now. Theyre all in separate bags strewn across the room and my shoulders feel like death so i'll sort through them later.

Aaaand i wrote up like 14 paragraphs more but tumblr didnt save my draft fpr some fuckin reason and now im way too tired to do it again

Briefer summary:

* had a huge horrible panic attack getting stuck in a skyscraper shopping centre clothes place full of screaming and every perfume smell and WHY DO I HAVE TO NAVIGATE THIS HELL MAZE TO FIND THE ESCALATOR and seriously i was my most primal animalistic self and i went full fight or flight on this bitch

* had a lovely time visiting Cool Shop Grandma and rambled the story of how i met her and how we became friends but hhh too tired to rewrite. But anyway today i gave her a christmas pikachu plush as thanks for everything and cos her shop is moving on to its next location soon. She got really teary and gave me a big hug! She's gonna be at a comic con in march so i hope i'm able to go to that and see her again.

* went on a wild goose chase looking for harry potter merchandise and eventually found a gold plated replica of the movie prop version of the time turner and HELL YES my sis will love it!

* rambled about several market stalls that were cool but i can make a separate post about that in the morning when i find their contact details to advertise them

* got a plushie delibird and decided to take selfies with it everywhere to try and fight my social anxiety somehow. We went to a neat lil restaurant and had cheesy fries and a coke float!

* asked for a refund on an item for the first time ever and im proud of myself

* went off on a mystery bus trip to buy a preowned 3ds and pokemon games from a lady in an online preowned stuff facebook group and it didnt go horribly and i am glad! She was really nice and i witnessed A Good And Smart Parenting Moment and man it healed my heart and i wish i'd been raised that way. Again i'll probably ramble about the details later when im less tired, it really touched my heart seriously! And now i have MANY GIFTS FOR SIS!

* in total i was out present shopping from 9am to 8pm and i clicked my shoulder out of its socket for a split second from.all the heavy bags. Now im in a lot of aches and i need a sleeps

The End

Arplis - News: Wearable souvenirs: 10 best places for vintage shopping around the world

The Earth is suffering, and we all know that. Choosing to travel in a sustainable way and supporting eco-friendly hostels is already making a big difference. That being said, the fashion industry alone accounts for 5% of all manmade greenhouse gas emissions, and experts say that percentage is set to grow. Not to mention the ethical implications of underpaid workers and child labour. Being bombarded with all this information can be overwhelming, I know it was for me. I love fashion and creating new outfits, so I started looking into ways to do it in more sustainably. Given that most eco-friendly brands right now are quite expensive, and working with a backpackers budget, I turned to vintage and thrift shopping, something that I thought was limited to pretty ladies wearing red lipstick and a beehive. I started warily, but I still remember the feeling of finding that perfect vintage t-shirt for a bunch of euros, and before you know it, I was hooked.If you want to learn the best places for vintage shopping around the world, youve come to the right place.

The cool thing about buying second-hand is that youre not putting anything new into our ecosystem. All those clothes were already loved and worn, and their only options were to end up in landfillor in your closet! Theres also a hunting aspect to vintage shopping that I took a liking to. Finding the perfect fit is so much harder than selecting the right size on a website, and once you stumble upon a piece of clothing you like and that looks good on you, it feels like the stars have aligned. Truly a magical feeling! Thrifting became a hobby of mine, and as a traveller, I started implementing it in my trips, too. Every time I was in a new place, I would reserve at least half a day to raiding those foreign second-hand stores, on crazy itineraries that took me around the coolest neighbourhoods. I was often coming back home with unique vintage finds as souvenirs, and I started getting the same feeling I got when I travelled as a child pre-internet stores, when I was excited for all the different places I could shop at. I loved showing up at school with some funky pants and answering I got them in Paris when asked where they were from. I know, a bit pretentious, but youd be lying if you said you didnt love it too!

:Getty Images

Through vintage shopping while travelling, my closet started turning into a postcard box made of clothes accumulated from around the globe. Memories of that trip would be woven into the fibres of the garments and every piece started meaning so much more than clothing used to. How precious is it to see a world map of the places youve been every time you open your wardrobe? There are cities out there full of the coolest and quirkiest pieces, just waiting for you to ransack through their racks. As a backpacker, Id urge you to take some time to explore the local vintage scene wherever you are. And if you dont know where to start, take a look at our top ten best places for vintage shopping around the world. Go on get thrifty!

1. Milan, Italy

:@alexandru_stravrica

Milan is the fashion capital of the world, with designer stores lining the sidewalks that the most stylish people youll ever see stomp their stiletto heels on. Think faux fur coats and huge sunglasses, plus that one quirky element to show the world youre that high fashion. Youd think second-hand stores wouldnt belong in a city so posh, but youd be wrong. The Solari neighbourhood, south of the city, boasts quirky windows and neon signs showing off a more sustainable and fun side of this high fashion hub. My personal favourite is Humana Vintage, a true vintage store selling fifties dresses to cosy grandma sweaters, with prices that go as low as 5 and deals going on all the time. A few blocks from there youll find yourself in the street of vintage stores, with a bunch of thrift stores all a couple metres from each other. SNAP Milano is a cool concept store selling vintage pieces gathered from all around the world. If Japanese fashion appeals to you, definitely give it a try. Bivio has both a male and female store and specialises in designer pieces. So go rummaging you could snag a pair of snazzy velvet green Versace Jeans pants for as low as 20! Theyre also willing to buy your old clothes: a great way to refresh your backpack without running out of space!

Humana Vintage, Via Cappellari, 3, 20123 Milan MI

SNAP Milano, Via Gian Giacomo Mora, 11, 20123 Milan MI

Bivio Milano, Via Lambro, 12, 20129 Milan MI

Bivio Milano Donna, Via Gian Giacomo Mora, 4, 20100 Milan MI

2. London, UK

:@evantdang

If youve heard anything about London, Im sure youve heard about Brick Lane and its iconic vintage stores. London is one of the best places for vintage shopping and names like Rokit are legendary. The price tag can reflect the fame though, and although I recommend visiting the main stores if youve never been, I thought Id include a couple of backpackers budget tips too.

Beyond Retro is one of my favourite places to shop in London and online, with cool reworked pieces and a perfect sustainable record that includes reusing shipping boxes and shipping by sea instead of air. Some of their stuff can be pricey, but you can also find affordable pieces that still have that cool edge to them.

The best way to spend money while buying second hand in London is by hitting charity shops. On top of helping the Earth, youll also give a hand to the different charities they support. Being donation-based, youll be better off heading to the western part of the city, where posh people live and donate their clothes. Oxfam in Notting Hill will hook you up with a cheetah mini skirt for as cheap as 3, and youll be helping an association thats working to end poverty all around the world at the same time.

Wombats City Hostel London is located in Whitechapel and is only a short walk from the thrifty neighbourhood of Shoreditch and Brick Lane. Check out all the hostels in London to plan your vintage tour of the city!

Rokit, 101 Brick Ln, London E1 6SE, UK

Beyond Retro Soho, 58-59 Great Marlborough St, Soho, London W1F 7JY, UK

Oxfam, 144 Notting Hill Gate, Notting Hill, London W11 3QG, UK

3. Dublin, Ireland

:Getty Images

In many cities, all the best vintage stores are crammed together. In Dublin its no different, as all the best places for vintage shopping are right behind the popular Temple Town, famous for its bright red bar and a couple of other pubs. If you manage to avoid the calling of a fresh pint of Guinness, go up Fawness Street and get ready to immerse yourself in the marvel of Irish vintage shopping.

You cant miss Lucys Lounge because of its bright pink faade its hella chic inside and out!.. Climb down the stairs and find yourself in the wonder of sweaters and vintage jeans. Whats interesting about this one is the impressive collection of vintage lingerie and lacy corsets, handy if youre looking to get lucky in the leprechauns land.

Something I love about shopping in Dublin is their vintage reworked stores, which take pre-loved pieces and turn them into an Urban Outfitters worthy number. Fresh has a super clean feel thanks to its all-white interiors and perfectly organised selection. If youre on the hunt for a pair of white vintage Levis, this is the place to go. Nine Crows, which is right next door, is one of my favourite second-hand stores in the whole world, boasting a cool-girl vibe, vintage berets and cropped flannels to fulfil all your country girl dreams.

Just like Dublins shopping scene, the hostels in Dublin are pretty slick. Generator Dublin has an on-site bar, a games room and plenty of fun events like karaoke and drinking games. Its somewhere to channel your inner hipster!

Lucys Lounge, 11 Fownes Street Upper, Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland

Fresh Limited, 1 Crown Alley, Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland

Nine Crows, 22 Temple Lane South, Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland

4. Stockholm, Sweden

:Getty Images

Stockholm was one of the first places I thrifted in and it should be considered one of the best cities for vintage shopping. The thrifting culture is big in Scandinavia, just like how everythings cool and sustainable (theyre just the best, ugh). Youll just have to venture to the hipster neighbourhood of Sdermalm to find vintage stores aplenty. My beloved British Beyond Retro has a Swedish store too, but if youre visiting you should absolutely check out Humana Second Hand. Although they have a similar name, this company is not affiliated with the Italian franchise, but youll find their stores all over Scandinavia and Germany. Their selection is perfectly curated and ranges from leather jackets to cool sweatshirts. What I love about it is that it feels like a regular store and misses that old clothes vibe that can scare off newbies. Its just like Urban Outfitters, but with a much more fun (and cheap!) selection.

City Backpackers Hostel has a vintage vibe throughout perfect for you old souls! Dont forget to check out our other hostels in Sweden.

Beyond Retro, Brnnkyrkagatan 82, 118 23 Stockholm, Sweden

HUMANA Second Hand, Timmermansgatan 23, 118 55 Stockholm, Sweden

5. Vancouver, Canada

:Getty Images

Being Canada is the capital of everything thats hip and sustainable, it makes sense that Vancouver would be the number one spot to check out for vintage shops when heading North. Right in Yaletown, the coolest part of the city in my opinion, youll find a couple of spots nestled in between a caf and a cool brunch place that are worth a visit. House of Vintage is an aesthetic fanatics dream, with racks and racks of perfectly organised clothes going from flannels (its Canada, duh) to skirts and accessories. They also have a household section if youre looking for a used toaster or something like that.

If youre after the classic North American thrift store experience, head to the Value Villages all across the city. These dont really offer a curated selection of pieces, but more an overwhelming amount of clothes that you have to look through until you find that hidden gem. Who wouldve guessed youd go hunting in Canada?Bargain hunting that is!

Samesun Vancouver is centrally located, so its surrounded by the citys best bars and clubs. If you dont feel like going out, chill by the on-site bar! Explore all of Vancouvers hostels.

House of Vintage, 1008 Robson St, Vancouver, BC V6E 1A7, Canada

Value Village,6415 Victoria Dr, Vancouver, BC V5P 3X5, Canada

6. Portland, USA

:@zackspear

Could the hipster capital of the world not be included on this list? Portland, Oregon, is known all over the world for its craft breweries and quirky coffee shops, but its vintage shopping scene is a gamechanger. You cant miss Buffalo Exchange, right in front of the famous Powells City of Books, probably the most popular thrift store in PDX. The store is big, so its likely to feel a bit overwhelming, but if you take your time, youll be able to find a range of interesting pieces, some even with the tag still on! The big downside is its central location, that makes it quite busy on a day-to-day basis.

To live the authentic Portland lifestyle, dedicate a whole day to vintage shopping.

Vintage stores tend to reflect a citys vibe, so the more a place is cool, edgy and fashionable, the more youll find gems hidden between the thrift stores racks. Thats why the Big Apple is one of the best places for vintage shopping, offering a variety of stores as big as its number of different personalities. Depending on where you thrift, youll find different ranges and prices: Ina, Tokio 7 and Micheals on the Upper East Side are full of designer gems and fashion interns trying to look the part on a budget. If you move towards Brooklyn, youre deep in hipster territory, with Quality Meding helping you to rock the mechanic-chic look with dungarees and distressed workwear. Thriftwares is full of silk dresses and woven bags to effortlessly channel that chic Parisian vibe.

New York is known as the city that never sleeps, but youll at least need a rest after all that vintage shopping! You dont have to spend big bucks to live like an Upper East Sider. Freehand New York just seeps style and is calling your name!

8. Tokyo, Japan

:@magict1911

Tokyo is a crazy city, and so is its vintage shopping scene! The best places for vintage shopping are in Shimokitazawa, a neighbourhood close to Shibuya metro station. If anything, its definitely where most of them are! Im talking hundreds of different shops. Seriously, its overwhelming. If you add to that all the temporary pop-up shops, theres no way youll be able to hit them all but thats ok because it gives you a reason to come back!

Obviously with so many, theres a thrift shop here for every style and every budget. Personally, I prefer the ones that stay under 20, but Im willing to make an exception for places like Grapefruit Moon because its just too cute and deserves a visit if youre ever in Tokyo. To stick to a backpackers budget, head to New York Joes Exchange, where you can bring your old clothes and get new ones in return! Or, I mean, someone elses old clothes. If you dont want to spend your whole time in Tokyo looking for thrift finds (understandably!), check out Shimokita Garage, a vintage market where youll find different sellers all in one place. Score!

While wandering through the neighbourhood of Shibuya, make The Millennials Shibuya your base. This ultra-sleek hostel has reclining pod beds and a futuristic bar.

Grapefruit Moon, 154-0000 Tokyo, Setagaya City, Kitazawa, 2 Chome211 F, Japan

9. Paris, France

The dreamy capital of France is especially known for true vintage shopping and less thrift finds. So, think beautifully curated boutiques and slightly more expensive prices. At around 30 for a pair of pants though, I dont think its too bad in a city thats home to designer labels like Saint Laurent and Chanel.

Most of the more affordable vintage stores in Paris are located in the Marais district, like Coiffeur Vintage, a cute wooden door that opens to floral prints and organised chaos, or Vintage by Ramin, pretty hard to miss because of its hot pink awning. Youll also spot quite a few Kilo Shops around Paris that, as the name suggests sell clothes by weight, usually 40 per kilo. Some of their locations are themed for example, Kilo Shop Kawaii specialises in Japanese fashion.

The cool thing about vintage shopping in Paris is that the Parisian style is timeless, so second-hand items will look just as good as brand new ones. Fill your baskets with pastel coloured cardigans, midi dresses and perfectly fitting jeans, and get ready to embody the effortless chicness of a French girl!

So why not head to the worlds capital of fashion and stay in one of Pariss hostels? Stay in the artsy district of Belleville at Les Piaules, where youll be welcomed with funky interiors, lush dorms and an on-site bar!

Coiffeur Vintage, 32 Rue des Rosiers, 75004 Paris, France

10. Los Angeles, USA

LA is beaches, Hollywood stars and wannabe influencers, but its a score for vintage shopping too! Maybe its because everything is so spaced out and many thrift stores can thrive, or maybe its because in a city so big it only makes sense that someone would end up getting rid of something nice at one point or another.

Los Angeles second-hand shopping is all about quantity, with the massive Society of St. Vincent de Paul Los Angeles Thrift Store being a prime example its the biggest thrift store in LA! You can get lost in this store for hours, finding gems like vintage Ralph Lauren blazers for $8 hidden behind a pile of Forever 21 faded tops.

You dont have to buy into the hype of a popular attraction though: a simple visit to the many Goodwills around the city will do! Given the huge selection they carry, youre bound to find something cute and interesting in any of them. Its science!

Dont forget to walk down Hollywood boulevard after all the shopping is done. LAs hostels give a relaxed and summery vibe making it the ideal chill out space. Walk of Fame Hollywood Hostel is ON Hollywood Blvd. So, I guess Ill see you in the movies

Society of St. Vincent de Paul Los Angeles Thrift Store, 210 N Ave 21, Los Angeles, CA 90031, USA

:@astaclivo

Each of these cities has so much more to offer, not to mention all the vintage stores hidden in the other parts of the world! I hope that next time you find yourself in a new place, youll decide to check out the best places for vintage shopping too, and maybe come home with a little wearable souvenir. And if you happen to find something really cool, please let us know in the comments below!

I need advice for my auto insurance claim! Please help!!?

I was in a car accident 4 days ago. My Mother was the passenger in my car (I was driving). I was on the off ramp getting off the freeway. All cars behind me were stopped. I was stopped waiting to make a right turn. An emergency vehicle was coming in my direction from my left. Therefore, I was waiting for the emergency vehicle to pass. The person behind me (large dodge ram truck I am in an '08 2 door Infiniti coupe) thought I went so he 'gunned it' to get in front of the emergency vehicle. Unfortunately, we had not gone so he pushed my vehicle out in front of the emergency vehicle. Luckily, I was able to turn my car out of the way. I did not hit anyone (no one was in front of me). My Mother and I were both put into a gurney and taken to a local hospital in an ambulance. We both had our seat belts on and suffered whiplash. We were released 5-6 hours later after x-rays, etc. We were both prescribed medicine. My Mother has had 3 brain tumors and has trouble with her speech etc. and any violent startling trauma can get her shaken up pretty badly and confused. I know she hit her head but, she is in pain but not nearly as much as I am. With my Mother's condition I don't know if this kind of thing can have negative effects later on. I know that my neck and back is pretty messed up. It hurts to stand for after 15 minutes or so. My car is pretty messed up and had to be towed. I plan on taking it back to the Infiniti shop to get all new parts. My car has all the upgrades in it so I want it to be taken care of. Am I allowed to take it to the Infiniti dealership or will Geico (the other persons insurance) not allow that, or does it not matter? The police gave the guy that hit us a citation. I have USAA and the other person has Geico. I just want to know exactly what to do in this situation. Since I'm out a car (I work for myself) I have been out (already) a decent amount of money for not being able to meet up with my clients. I spoke to my insurance today and they said that all my medical is covered since I had that already in my plan (without it raising my premium) and that I should get a settlement ON TOP of paying for damages to my car and getting me a rental, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to get taken for a ride. I've heard the horror stories of dealing with insurance companies. Any advice on what I should make a point of saying to the other insurance company, etc. Thanks in advance....""

Question about different garaging address on insurance policy?

I had had my license for 6 years in October, and called my insurance company to make sure my rate would go down. While on the phone, the rep and I got to chatting and I mentioned to her that I have been staying most nights (6-7 nights per week) at a different address for over a year now, but my license and policy are still listed at my mother's address. The rep explained the garaging address can be changed without changing the billing address if the two are different. Today I received an email about being refunded the difference at the end of my policy term. I didn't realize the changes would generate such a huge difference in price (The zip code of the town I have been staying in has a low crime rate and my mother's address is in a city). I realize people change their address to commit fraud, and now seeing such a difference in rate, I want to sure there is no legal ambiguity- I want to be crystal clear on what garaging implies and what I need to be aware of. 1) Am I in a gray area...If I go home for a weekend? If I lend the car to my brother for a few days? Do I need to be at the garaged address 80% of the time? 100%? I almost want to call them and ask to change it back just so as not have to worry. 2) Also, what would generate the bigger rate difference- the garaging change or the fact that I have had my license for 6 years? (is there a way to tell? Can I request a revised policy? 3) I am planning to replace my car soon, possibly donating it by the end of the year (very old car with continuous engine problems), so I will need to cancel my policy before it is up in April. Will this complicate things further? Any advice or resources are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and thank you for reading!""

Dad's biggest problem is insurance, which is understandable. My question is how much said insurance would cost/ raise his existing policy? -I like this model because I want a vehicle with performance. When I think of performance, Muscle comes into mind. The quintessential of this and most feasible is a mustang. Many older versions (such as 1990's, early 2000's) so they are affordable, and I just like them.

Insurance and Stepchildren?

I've been doing some research and have been able to find very little information on this topic. My husband and I got married recently and with our combined incomes, my son would no longer qualify for Medicaid (which had previously been his insurance). My husband asked his employer (who carries Aetna) if he could add his stepson and they told him yes, absolutely, they just needed his birth certificate, SS#, and a copy of our marriage certificate. We provided all these documents, and then they told us we needed to cancel his current insurance and provide proof of cancellation before they could cover him - which seemed strange to me, because I've had Medicaid as secondary insurance in the past, but we complied. We provided them with the letter saying that his coverage would be terminated effective June 1st. Hubby asked HR if everything was in place, and they said yes - as of June 1st, when his Medicaid expired, they would pick up coverage. Then yesterday (June 7th), HR approached my husband and told him that an Aetna representative called them and said that they can NOT cover his stepson unless I, the biological mother, am also on the insurance. This was NEVER mentioned to us previously and they knew he was not planning to add me as well - we never provided any of my documentation or information. I called Aetna and they told me that HR at the place of employment are the ones who determine this policy, and HR is telling us that it's the insurance company. So now my son is completely without coverage when they TOLD us that it would begin on the 1st. I have no interest in switching my insurance - I am covered under my parents' policy and it is very good. I am currently pregnant and I know my OB takes my current insurance and they have already preapproved all prenatal care and the birth. I might have considered switching if absolutely necessary had we known ahead of time, but we didn't, and now his insurance has lapsed as a result. So my question is - in my research, I came accross Obama's Affordable Care Act, which I know is the one that requires insurance companies to cover children until they are 26 and is the same reason that my parents' insurance company covers me. I read a couple different places that this same law also applies to stepchildren. So, under this law, is my husband's insurance required to cover my son?""

Okay the BIG TODAY THING

It seems i might possibly be gone for six months

I've been talking with my support worker about taking a course at this place thats uhh apparantly gonna help me get better with the depressions and stuff. And we had a meeting to go look around the place and make introductions and stuff but i had NO IDEA it would be all such short notice! I might have to move in IN TWO DAYS FROM NOW, what the fuck!!! And like if its not that its gonna be at the end of the week or next tuesday at the latest. Im so fuckin unprepared and im really freakin out!!

..uhh...how to describe it..well i guess its literally a mental asylum? But it's absolutely NOTHING like the horror movie stereotype! Its not a hospital with cages or locked rooms, its just like a big comfy cute shared house. Like a bunch of completely normal small apartment rooms but they just happen to be all connected to a shared kitchen and stuff and have on site nurses and a big schedule of therapy sessions and group activities like pottery class or bowling. You have the freedom to come and go as you please if you're on "voluntarily admitted" status (that's me!) and even if you're on what they call "sectioned" its still not scary loss of all your freedom. The highest level of sectioning is just like "requires an escort"? You're still allowed to go outside but you have a higher level of supervision from your key worker because you could potentially be a danger to yourself. But that's very rare and most people are only on maximum sectioning for a few weeks at the start of their treatment, if they've come straight from a situation of self harm or other concern factors. Most of the "sectioned" patients just have a time limit on how long they can spend on unsupervised outside activity. It's a pretty generous 8 hours apparantly!

So yeah i was getting worried about nothing, thinking i was gonna be in big scary solitary confinement and locked inside a tiny broom closet or jabbed with brain lazers. It honestly just seems like a summer camp resort for adults! And everyone there seems very nice, and im excited for being able to learn life skills like cooking and potential steps towards getting educational qualifications someday. And to have the help of a more specialist support worker who can assist me with even the smallest little problems. Like this nice lady Tazmin (who might be the one i get?) was saying how they've had other people with social anxiety before, and how we could plan "gradual exposure" to all the things that scare me. Like she said she'd be able to come with me and we'd take the bus and them get off at the next stop. That'd honestly be really helpful to help me get over being scared of the crowded spaces on buses, but i'd never be able to do it normally cos i'd be too embarassed taking such a short bus ride. Plus well itd be a waste of money,but if i'm a patient here i would get a free bus pass so it wouldnt be a problem.

Oh and the area seems really nice! Its so different from my stupid house right now in a crowded neighbourhood with NOTHING but houses everywhere for a mile! Its seriously almost a mile's walk to the ONE SINGULAR SHOP IN THE AREA and they close on sundays and dont sell vegetarian food. :( This area around the shared house thingie is a really nice bustling shops place but not super shops? Like i mean its a lovely village that has all the small shops you need, not a huge skyscrapers busy tourist place. The perfect balance of conveinient and not scary! They have a library and a park so close to the place, and a bazillion charity shops holy FUCK im so excited to have charity shops again!! I think you call them thrift shops in america? But i just always really love bargain hunting and finding nice surprises in places like that! And there's places to do pottery classes and group trips sometimes to do stuff like cinema or bowling or just having your big ol scary therapy meeting at the nice coffee shop at the end ot the road.

So yeah dont worry about me guys, im not trapped in some horribke hell place! I'm sure it'll be as non threatening as an Intensive Therapy Boot Camp can possibly be, im just still nervous as hell cos well yeah I Have Social Anxiety And That Is Why I Am Here In The First Place. Im scared im not gonna be able to succeed at this. I really wanna leave at the end and be all mentally buffed up and ready to make all these nice nurses proud!

Oh and man Richard has been so nice about this?? He was super freaked out and apologetic about it being Scary Short Notice, we had a bit of a dumb misunderstanding where he clearly told me and i clearly said yes but i somehow completely misunderstood what he was saying and thought i was saying yes to something else??? So im so fuckin glad that at the very end of the appointment right when i was gonna get out the car he was like 'oh so remember your suitcase on wednesday' and i was like WHAT. Like man can you imagine how much more terrifying it would have been if i just turned up on wednesday with no supplies but the shirt off my back and was like 'wtf where is he driving me OH GOD NO'. Bunni why you so bad at the good of talking!! Seriously richard thanks so much for clearing it up but also AAAAA i accidentally agreed to the shortest of short notice and i dont know if he's gonna be able to reschedule it!!!

And man i was there crying in his car about how i dont wanna be in hospital on my birthday, and babbling all the different things i had planned fot the next few months. And GOD DAMN MY DUMB BRAIN i ended up blurting out that i had a preorder of a videogame that i was gonna miss. And i straight up started explaining pokemon to my mental health counseller who is also a dj, how damn fake does my life sound?? Anyway he said that i'll still be able to keep him as my support worker when i get back out of this, and we'll still have weekly or monthly meetings while i'm in there. And he keeps reminding me that i'm free to leave if i feel uncomfortable, but i know that i'd feel like a failure if i did! So he legit fuckin goddamn said (THIS SOUNDS SO FAKE) that i could take a day off when the dumb game comes out, and he'd play co op pokemon with me. HOLY GEEZUS RICHARD YOU'RE LIKE THAT HOLY GRAIL OF THERAPISTS! And man he even said it wasnt embarassing for me to sleep with a teddy bear and he'd help me pack it up safe and ensure nobody saw it while we move my bags into my new room. And then i was like "uhh but also the teddy bear is a giant lifesize embarassing pokemon merchandise" and he was like "okay so we need DOUBLE STEALTH". Apparantly the new sequel to Pokemon Go is Pokemon Sneak! God he helped calm me down from this freakout so much, he's always great with lil jokes and motivational sayings. And i talked about how i first started being interested in Obscure Deep Sea Slug Facts because pokemon has some characters based on weird real life animals, and like its Very Educational Honest, And Has Appeal For Both Kids And Adults. How on earth did this turn into Motovational Pokemon Blabber Time??? Anyway thats how i ended up texting a professional psychologist pictures of gastrodon at 7.30pm.

Yeah

In summary

I'm mostly just worried cos this is short notice! And cos its such a big commitment that being short notice is Super Bad. I need to friggin clean the whole house top to bottom in two days, so it doesnt get all gross and attract flies while im gone. And i need to toss out like a hundred bucks worth of frozen food that aint gonna keep for 6 months. And i need to wash all my damn clothes. And i dont even have a suitcase and this is at a terrible time where i dont get paid for a week so i cant buy a new one right now!! And damn i DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO TAKE AAAAAA

And the BIGGEST PROBLEM

Is that i wont be able to talk to you guys for half a year!!!

They dont have wifi and im not allowed to take my computer anyway. They only allow laptops and all i have is a desktop and AAAA its too short notice to save up enough to get a laptop mannnnn! Fuck man i didnt even think about that, i need to go pause my broadband internet for six months, do they even allow you to come back after that long?? And man part of me wants to ask to borrow money from friends to get a laptop but i know this time i cant promise to pay you back within the month cos AAAGH ALL OF THIS SHIT!! Like damn man if anyone is willing to let me pay back a hundred and fifty quid in 6 months??not bloody likely!! And man the only place to get a laptop in TWO GODDAMN DAYS is stupid fuckin Amazon :( but god im gonna go stir crazy being unable to do art or gamemaking or friggin anything to occupy myself!! I can bring my 3ds but i barely have any games for it and ive already finished all of them except harvest moon a new beginning which i quit cos it was bad. And the screen is broken anyway gahhh. SO MANY THINGS I NEED MONEY FOR IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IS NON CONDUCTIVE TO MONEYING

So anyway GAHH i wont have an internet connection in the house, and i'll be able to walk down the hill and use the library computers hopefully at least weekly, but they forbid all social media sites. So like can i get the emails of everyone who wants to keep in contact? Man i dont know how im gonna manage this AAAAA!!! i will send u loads of pics of scenic asylum beauty and dumb updates on my stupid life of probably very little progress.

And AGGGHHH i dont even have the time to plan a blog queue or anything fuck man geez aaaaaaaa

I NEED TO BUY A NEW PAIR OF TROUSERS WITHOUT HOLES IN THE KNEES man i cant live on singular pantage in a shared house

#bunni is gone #alas #mourn they #soon to be departed from the web
