However, I found the exact same hat (same brand, size, and model) on the official website being sold for $52. This is the regular retail price, not a discounted sale price (photos below). Besides, I bought another thing which the owner didn't know about the price and charged me expensive.

I could never say enough great things about Echoes of Retro. This is by far my favorite place to…read moreshop for furniture and home goods. Everything is curated by the couple that owns the shop, Wendy and Marvin, and they are constantly bringing in new stuff. Every trip is like visiting a new, but still super awesome, store. BUT, I do have to say one thing....unfortunately, you cannot take home the shop's lovely and amazing "employee," Carol. She is Marvin's mother, and she is an angel on earth. Really, she is. I visit this store about once every 4 months and she always remembers me; now, we just walk around and chat about all the amazing history and curiosities. I should also say that this place's prices are reasonable. There is another retro furniture store in Orlando, and EoR's prices are nowhere near theirs. They also have vintage clothing, custom hats, and lots of art and decor. Ok, I'll stop. I could go on forever. I'll attach just a few photos of things I have purchased, considering half my home was furnished at Echoes of Retro.

I like that they have a selection of items from different countries and different time periods. There was a Llama Poncho that was handmade in the '40s on the same rack as other items ranging from the 20s to the 80s, so cool to see history through clothing! It's a small shop, so it only needs one worker at a time. She did a good job engaging with everyone and answering any questions. The items are vintage and many are one of a kind, so expect boutique prices!

I only visited Washburn Imports once, but the place stuck with me. The owner was incredibly cool…read moreand easy to talk to, and you could tell right away that he handpicks everything himself. The furniture didn't feel random or thrown together. Each piece looked like it had its own personality. There was a carved cabinet that felt almost regal, a chunky table that seemed like it could survive anything, and these little decorative pieces that looked like they'd been collected with intention, not just ordered out of a catalog. You get the sense that the inventory has traveled more than most people. The bar in the back wasn't open when I stopped by because I was there earlier in the day, but he explained the schedule. The Imperial Bar opens Wednesday through Sunday in the evenings, usually starting around 5 pm. So daytime has this calm, treasure-hunt vibe, and nighttime turns the place into a cozy little hangout tucked inside a furniture store. It's one of those spots where one visit makes you feel like you stumbled onto something special.

One of the reasons it's my favorite shop is because of how curated it is. There's a smaller home section with a huge selection of dishes and fine china. There's also other good home finds as well. The clothing section is good, but not so large it's overwhelming. I love the designer section, there's always something good there. Additionally, they just added a trinket trade box to the store, so be sure to check that out!!

4 Stars for a great cause to support with your donations and some great finds!…read more When I was looking for an ethical organization where I could donate items I don't use anymore, I was so thrilled to find Out of the Closet. According to their website, Out of the Closet Thrift Store (OTC) was founded in 1990 to help raise funds and awareness for AIDS Healthcare Foundation. When you shop or donate at Out of the Closet, 96 cents of every dollar made goes to AIDS Healthcare Foundation's HIV prevention and treatment services. Dropping donations off is very easy- you pull up just past the front retail door to another closed exterior door which has a sign to ring a bell for assistance. From there someone comes out to receive the donations. As a thrift shop, I've been able to find a great furniture piece as well as a few tops. They have lots of clothes and some home goods, depending on the week. With that said, it's not the best thrift store in terms of inventory and pricing, but you know you're supporting a good cause and there are some hidden gems. I'll keep donating here and perusing for some fun thrift finds!

This shop is overwhelming in a PHENOM way! We were immediately greeted and told not to hesitate with questions or offers. I fell in love with so many items and they didn't have huge price tags but if I was ready to purchase, I would def try to get a lower price. Everything had so much character. In the back, the huge warehouse housing tables and chairs to pianos to dressers was awesome. It was not air conditioned but that was ok, I hardly noticed as I was checking out all the details in the amazing wood pieces. There was even a black cat roaming around that just added a nice flair of character. You could also see the area where they do restoration and fix pieces. I am still thinking about a dresser that was this amazing green color and I possibly may head back to check it out. I was so happy that my friends and I decided to venture in here or I still would have no idea we had such a great spot in Orlando. I was walking around saying, "Where are we?" I literally felt like I was in another place or time, it was refreshing!
