I scored a beautiful dress from this organized shop. I love the vintage Manolo's from the 70's but they will set you back about $1500. the staff are super helpful.

Great selection of nice vintage stuff. But, of course very expensive, so I can't really afford them unless they're so damn unique. My fashion design teacher recommended me this place in the past.
