I can’t believe the designer shoes I found at Goodwill – they retail for hundreds, it’s crazy but I’m not complaining
A THRIFTY shopper knew better than to let a good buy pass her by.
She had certainly snagged the shoe deal she had been dreaming of.
“When you find Golden Goose at Goodwill,” said Han Azim (@styleswithshea).
Amidst crowded racks of shoes, the budget buyer had found the designer deal of her dreams.
The white sneakers featured the brand’s signature star on the side – and sell for hundreds of dollars.
“These are the thrift vibes we need for 2024,” she said.
Similar sneakers from Golden Goose sell for over $500.
Her fans were left dumbfounded over the deal.
“Omg my dream!” said one shocked follower.
“I can’t believe it!” she replied.
“I would just die,” another viewer remarked.
And the savvy shopper’s haul was just getting started.
“I went to Goodwill this morning and here’s everything I found today,” she said in a second video.
First, she held up a blue pair of Year of Ours leggings followed by a crochet top and wide-leg black Zara jeans.
Han continued to show off her steals that included a vintage Bill Blass sweater, Aerie ribbed pants, Free People movement joggers, and an Abercrombie and Fitch bodysuit.
And she wasn’t done just yet with her designer deals.
“This stunning Frame blouse – love this one,” she said.
The red short-sleeved find was having her give thanks to the Goodwill gods.
Next came a purple Athleta tank top, another crochet cardigan, and an LL Bean corduroy button-up shirt.
Holding up a powder blue dress, she couldn’t believe her thrifting luck.
“A new with tags Petal and Pup dress,” she said.
She also picked up a Lulus ribbed midi dress, a never worn Free People knit dress, and a vintage black midi skirt.
Han was ready to keep on saving while looking stylish.
“Amanda Uprichard stunning maxi dress,” she said.
She held up the layered peach colored frock.
Her fans were in disbelief over the finds.
“The Frame blouse!” said one follower.
She reflected on her grand find finale: the Golden Goose sneakers.
“That was a crazy way to end the thrift trip but I am not complaining,” said Han.
Kate Middleton is ‘on the mend & has left Windsor for first time since her op for holiday with Prince William & kids’
PRINCESS Kate is “on the mend” and has left Windsor for the first time since her surgery, pals have claimed.
The Princess of Wales, 42, is “recovering well” after her planned abdominal surgery on January 16.

Kate spent 13 days recovering at the private London Clinic before heading home – and she is unlikely to be seen carrying out any frontline duties until after Easter.
In a clear sign of her improvement, the Princess joined William and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on a half-term trip holiday on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
A pal told the Daily Mail: “Catherine is recovering well.
“She was looking forward to a change of scene and will be able to take it easy in Norfolk while the children let off steam with William.”
The King is also convalescing in Norfolk following his cancer diagnosis.
The monarch was admitted to The London Clinic on January 26 to undergo the operation and his stay was extended by 24 hours.
A “separate issue of concern was noted” during his corrective prostate surgery – and further tests revealed the presence of cancer.

In their statement a Palace spokesman stated: “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”
His Majesty is undergoing a schedule of regular treatments and “remains wholly positive”.
It follows a string of health shocks for the Royal Family, with the Duchess of York, 64, also told she had cancer just after Christmas.
Fergie and Charles are understood to be supporting each other through their treatment.
King Charles will continue with his red boxes, weekly audiences with the Prime Minister, and monthly Privy Council meetings, but they may have to be scaled back on the advice of doctors.
In the meantime, Prince William and Queen Camilla have taken the lead and stepped up to help with royal duties.
On Wednesday, despite the turbulent time for his family as Princess Kate recuperates from her abdominal surgery, the prince gave a speech at a charity fundraising gala.
William, who served as a rescue pilot saving lives for seven years, attended the event for the London Air Ambulance Charity.
It came hours after he returned to public engagements for the first time and held an investiture at Windsor Castle.
William was seen smiling and joking as he handed out gongs at the ceremony.
Queen Camilla has also put on a brave face amid the troubling time for her family.
She was seen with Charles on Tuesday for the first time since his cancer shock – taking a helicopter to Sandringham after meeting Prince Harry.

My skin glows and my hair’s ridiculously long – everyone asks my secrets, I use the same oil on both my face & strands
A BEAUTY guru has found the Holy Grail for achieving healthy hair and skin.
The proof that the product worked was in her long locks and glowing complexion.
“I have a lot of people ask me about my skin and my hair – what do I do to keep my hair so long and what do I do to keep my skin so clear,” said Maddie (@maddiecantwelll).
The hair-growing and skin-saving sorceress was finally ready to spill the beauty beans.
“They’re like Maddie tell me you’re secrets – let me tell you my secrets,” she said.
After showing off her long locks that went past her waist it was no wonder why everyone wanted to know more.
“It’s ridiculously long,” she said.
Maddie held her never-ending brunette mane out to the side.
After showing off her radiant skin in the sunlight she was ready to give up the goods: Frankincense essential oil.
The potent product was responsible for both her healthy hair and clear complexion.
She rubbed a few drops of the oil into her hands before applying it all over her face.
“Just watch how much my skin is going to glow instantly,” she said.
She couldn’t get over how the essential oil was already highlighting her cheek, as well as her under eyes – even her nose was getting in on the glow.
And she wasn’t done just yet.
“It doubles as both skin and haircare, which is really nice.”
Maddie showed that less is more when it came to making hair magic as it took just another few drops to get extra shiny strands.
“It’s really good for damaged hair,” she said.
And Maddie made sure not to miss a piece as she ran it through her long locks.
“And just like that, my hair has lots of shine.”
Frankincense Essential Oil sells for $84.75 and has been used in rituals for over 3,000 years.
The product is described as reducing the appearance of uneven skin tones and supporting feelings of relaxation.
Even the hair wizard was wowed by her look.
Her fans were also floored by her flowing locks.
“Your hair is gorgeous you are flawless,” said one impressed follower.
“Thank you,” she replied.
Still others had questions.
“So for the hair do you put it on when it’s dry or after you wash your hair?” a viewer asked.
“You can do both, I also like to put a few drops in my hand with shampoo/conditioner!” she responded.
