Member's only.

I found great new vintage shops today as I was driving home from work. i was exhausted, yet feeling a little restless, and thought it'd be better to walk around in this perfect weather, than take sunset in rush hour. My first find was American Vintage. I know there's a larger one on Melrose, but the Echopark location has an endless shoe supply! boots for days. My goal of the day was combat boots, but no dice. (Army Supply, everyone recommended. go figure) If you're not familiar with American Vintage, it's mostly second hand, so like Good Will, but better organized and cleaner kept. And shoes are organized by size, so that's a plus. My only buy was a cute pair of reddish-brown sunnys. Made my day.


Place 2 was TAXI CDC. Amazing. Everything blew my mind for dirt cheap prices. Men and Women's. From silk tube dresses, to vintage Lacoste knit sweaters and Member's Only in every color you can image. And vintage Coach purses for $35? Everything was one of a kind, literally hand picked. After trying things on and thinking i was going crazy the owner explained that most of the designers are Japanese so the sizings are all off, so you just have to try and try on. They are having a sale this weekend (20% off mostly) so go check them out!! The store only takes cash.

Last was Luxe De Ville. Best jewelery ever!!! So many beautiful rings, both goddy and simple, and amazing cowgirl looking pieces. Black onyx stuff coming in soon. They also have a long rack of leather skinnys, if you were searching. AND the shop offers locally made artisan t-shirts. And the owner is my new BFF. So that's cool.

And of course, Morrissey to cap an evening off.
