About Virginia Chamlee

WHAT’S LEFT IS A TWICE-WEEKLY NEWSLETTER ABOUT INTERIOR DESIGN, POP CULTURE AND HOW TO SHOP VINTAGE.

Hi! I’m Virginia Chamlee, a longtime journalist and the author of the best-selling book, Big Thrift Energy. I have worked in digital and print media for nearly two decades, with stints at Buzzfeed, Eater, People and more than six years as a magazine editor under my belt.

But I’m also obsessed with thrifting and vintage shopping and began selling my finds about ten years ago. Since then, I’ve become a six-figure earner thanks to my side business, have written a book about shopping vintage, and have been featured in The Economist, The Washington Post, Ipsos, Elle Decor, and more.
