In the clip, she said: "The most expensive charity shop chain in the UK has an outlet. I know.
"Grab your handbags, we're going shopping."
Right off the bat, she found a gorgeous runway skirt by Ralph Lauren made of pure silk and leather for just £25 in the charity shop.
It was so nice in fact, that when she left the store a woman begged to buy it off her, which she did.
Making her way to the shoe rack, the designer expert quickly hunted down the best designer goodies lurking on the rack.
She quickly found a stunning pair of gold glittery Jimmy Choo heels as well as Christopher Kane bridal heels for £30.
"Oh my goodness. I was stumbling over my words because the deals are just so good," she exclaimed as she shared her next find.
The reseller found the perfect pair of Yves Saint Laurent 1980s pink satin heeled pumps in amazing condition.
She continued: "They went straight in my basket and they're currently sitting in my house."
"They have shoes, they have clothing and the stock is constantly changing."

Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain
Ross Dutton has been a manager for Crisis's charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity's Finsbury Park shop in London.
Choose your area - As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated.
Don't hang around - If you see something you like, buy it, as it'll likely be gone when you come back
Look out for cut-off labels - Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn't sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes.
Stay at home - While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won't get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you're looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.
