The best vintage clothing store I've ever been to in THE WORLD. This is not a thrift shop or second…read morehand store; it's not cheap but the best quality vintage shouldn't be. It feels filled with wonder and history like a museum but cozy and inviting like someone's home. (There is even an adorable dog sleeping peacefully in shop). You will find women's clothing for all occasions and seasons and a wide array of accessories and underpinnings. There's even a men's section, which looked impressive too. Amazing selection aside, the owner is so knowledgeable and kind. She knows the origins of every piece in her shop. I stumbled upon the store by accident and ended up spending hours trying on wedding dresses and evening gowns, learning a lot about vintage clothing history in the process. There is an impressive amount of dead stock items too. I can't wait to return here, it was a really special place.

This is the weirdest place I've been to in a while and I have been to some really f*cked up places…read morein my life (wink wink...San Francisco...ahem). You go through a tiny storefront that smells like Grannie's attic and amble back through a narrow room full of granny's old furniture before creaking down a staircase into an underground lair full of other peoples' old junk. However, there can be finds to be found and I dig the weird vibe. Not big on kid's things (kind of thankful for that), but a lot of vintage-y stuff for the creative at heart. I am not even a little creative, so I probably won't be frequenting the joint. Mom tip: Not stroller friendly, kid friendly, or even kid interesting. If you do want to pop in (and I strongly suggest you do - it's a weird little place), I'd hit it solo or with a kid attached to your person. I will add that the space is so big and there is so much stuff that even though I didn't find anything either time I went, I spent about an hour there. Happy Hunting!
