Woman finds expensive designer sandals in charity shop and is floored by price

Daily Mirrora day ago

A woman has shared her charity shop haul after going 'shopping in rich areas' and finding a pair of designer sandals that were being sold for over £1,000 online
Charity shops are a paradise for those seeking a bargain, but often, you have to rummage through a lot of average items to find the gems. Lills, who posts on TikTok as @lileviex, revealed that she was going "charity shop shopping in affluent areas," and she unearthed some absolute treasures.
The price tags of the items were naturally a bit higher as the brands were more high-end; however, she did note that compared to the online prices, they were a steal in the charity shops. She discovered brands ranging from House of CB to Jimmy Choo, and she said there was plenty of Juicy Couture in store too.

She shared that she found some gold Chanel sandals, which were listed on Vestaire Collective for £1,026.

However, in the comments of the video, she told a woman that they were just £450 in the charity shop, which for someone would be a real bargain.
Lills shared that the House of CB dress had "the ribbon and everything," and was being sold for £65. Many dresses from this brand retail at around £189, so that is a steal.
There was a Diesel bag and a Lululemon sports bra for just £5, when they retail for about £40 brand new.
Lills was left disappointed when she spotted three House of CB dresses hanging on the back of a door. When she asked if she could look at them, a staff member refused as they had not been priced yet.
She shared that she was out shopping in "Balham, Clapham, Chelsea and Battersea," saying there were "too many" shops to mention, but urging people to visit.

Lills flaunted her finds of Burberry and Paco Rabanne gym attire, revealing there was "tonnes of Juicy Couture" up for grabs. She also spotted some Arkett cycling shorts but described them as a "but they were a hideous colour," which put her off purchasing.
While on the hunt for deals, she stumbled upon more affordable brands like Primark and Zara, admitting she "loved" some pieces and highlighting the joy of mixing high street with designer labels.
Venturing into the men's sections, Lills was thrilled to find "loads of Ralph Lauren" available.

She did, however, comment on the steep pricing in some stores, suggesting that "if the prices could come down," it would be perfect.
Acknowledging the need for shops to turn a profit, she expressed concern that their high prices might deter potential sales.
In response to an inquiry in the comments about where she found Chanel shoes, Lills responded they were at the "Royal Trinity Hospice in Clapham Junction," though they might have already been snapped up.

Why consider charity shop shopping in posh neighbourhoods?
It's a chance to snag high-quality, designer goods often donated by affluent locals, including top-notch apparel, accessories, homeware, and other luxury items at a fraction of the original cost.
Another perk is the superior quality of goods. Items donated in affluent areas are often gently used, well-kept, or barely worn, meaning you're frequently getting nearly new items at a fraction of their original price.
Shopping at charity shops also typically allows you to support a worthy cause, as the proceeds often go towards charitable efforts, making your purchase feel more significant.
The shops in posh neighbourhoods might draw more attention from staff or the community, resulting in better organisation, appealing displays, or a boutique-like ambience.
Charity shop shopping is an eco-friendly choice, as it prolongs the life cycle of products and helps minimise waste, giving perfectly good items a second chance.

World's most popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the U.S. after being detained by ICE

Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese- Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.

Justin Timberlake mercilessly mocked for his 'embarrassing' dance moves

Justin Timberlake has had several setbacks on his tour - and his latest viral moment isn't helping. The singer, 43, is currently on the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, but a video showing his on-stage moves is threatening to ruin the world tour - again. 'I mean I love JT just as much as the next boy band obsessed girlypop but LOL this is comical,' TikTok user Diary Of Kikito, who originally shared the clip, wrote. In the video, from one of Timberlake's latest shows, the Sexyback singer kicked the microphone stand back and forth. He then stood and held it before lowering it towards the ground and dramatically switching hands. The video was also shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, with a post that read: 'Justin Timberlake is once again going viral for his embarrassing dance moves during one of his concerts.' The post was accompanied by the short clip of Timberlake dancing on a circular stage. Users chimed in with their thoughts - many agreeing his moves weren't as impressive as hoped. 'It's so funny that people are just NOW realizing how cringe Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake are lol they aren't bad now you guys, they've always been s**t. Both of them have always been the corniest performers ever,' someone else chimed in. Another chimed in: 'And he thought the DUI was gonna ruin the world tour.' 'This feels like when my kid was small and would yell mom look at this,' laughed someone else. 'He's like a bad magician act in Vegas,' mocked another. It's not the first time the pop star has been mocked on tour. Last year when a fan filmed him performing in Nashville in December, with the video going viral after being shared on TikTok. Timberlake was performing at Bridgestone Arena on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour when things took an unexpected turn, as a harness around his waistline drew attention to a particularly noticeable area. In the footage, the NSYNC star could be seen performing with the harness riding a little too high, making his crotch the star of the moment. It seems Timberlake must have seen the video - and the comments - and decided to wear a different shirt for his latest show in Kansas City on December 20. He has faced backlash for canceling multiple shows last minute during the world tour at the beginning of the year One concert-goer recorded the moment he was attached to the harness and when they shared it on TikTok, they wrote: 'Justin's noticeably longer shirt!' Timberlake has been marred in controversy over the past year. Earlier in the year, he has faced backlash for canceling multiple shows last minute during the world tour. Most recently, he canceled his final concert in Columbus, Ohio in February due to illness, but fans were left furious as they had already been lining up with minutes left before the doors would be opened when they found out. Timberlake has also been slammed for performing very few of his nostalgic hits and rather singing songs nearly all from his latest album, Everything I Thought It Was, an album that few concertgoers seemed to know the words to and had been branded a commercial failure. Back in June 2024, Timberlake was pulled over under the suspicion of drunk driving in Long Island. On June 18, it was reported that he failed a series of sobriety tests at the time, according to a police report exclusively obtained by He accepted a plea deal following his arrest, which saw bodycam footage going viral when he was seen telling the officer, who did not know who he was, that the arrest 'would ruin the world tour.'

Four red flags your partner is cheating Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating. They start to take their phone everywhere with them In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something. Aaron says: "If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful." "You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something." They start telling you less about their day When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you. "If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag." "Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron. Their libido changes Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron. Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before." They become negative towards you Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify. "To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron. One person wrote: "Big fan of your work." Another commented: 'Him losing twice the same night is gold." "Ma'am you are a psychological genius," penned a third. "He's still thinking about that to this day. In fact his new girlfirend has to remind him he's beautiful once a week." Meanwhile a fourth said: "He was trying to play checkers but BABYYY you were playing CHESS." "Not gonna lie that's a pretty solid way of handling that,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'Girl, if you don't catfish him every year like it's a nationally observed holiday, what are you doing with your life? Get him again."
