I've been housesitting for a friend that lives nearby, so I decided to stop in one day on my way home from work. So glad I did, too, since I've been on an epic quest for the perfect handbag (even...

Now, I don't really get off on shopping and whatnot, especially for clothes, which is probably why I like this place. They have a very... what's the word I'm looking for..... focused? organized?...

After seeing my neighbor in a gorgeous, powder-blue polyester waitress uniform from Cafe Society, I decided to trek out on the D line in search of some vintage fashion. I'm an avid eBayer, and let me...

Oooooooooo! *Squeals with glee!* I have found a new vintage store! I should have found this a long time ago, but I hardly ever get out to this part of town. As it is, I stopped in because we drove by...

Went in just expecting to browse, but walked away with a polka dot dress from the 1930s. Great items, I found three dresses I was thinking about, but unfortunately can only afford one (dresses cost...

As I scour the city trying to find costumes that look 1920s to use in my short film, I stumbled through the doors of Cafe Society 5 minutes before closing time. The worker said it was not a problem...

Another favorite place of mine to snoop around. It is totally out of the way (for me) and since there is NOTHING else really in that area to shop or eat etc..it is perhaps not quite worth the T ride...

Thrift (excuse me, VINTAGE) stores are transitory in nature; nothing really stays the same, and the stock is constantly replenished. When one goes thrift-store shopping, one has to expect nothing....

Out of my way, but well worth the stop. Talk about authentic vintage wear. What you'd imagine in an old Vogue magazine. Classic pieces bringing about the nostalgic return to the 1940s and 50s fashion....
