5. American Rag on La Brea and Wasteland on Melrose. Being that I went to school in LA, I was well versed at the time in vintage and cheap, cheap, cheap for the pocketbook. The staples remain true and still as hot as ever.

4. The Painted Bird, San Francisco. Of course its cools, its in the Mission. But this place is truly great for the unique and the stylish. 

3 Cherry Boutique, Modern Vintage like Pucci and Laurent. Resurrection, amazing collections and exhibitions from Vivienne Westwood, Gucci and the like. Both in NYC.

2. Crossroads Trading Co.,  I figure the buys are great, as I know I have sold a few of my best duds there. And with this economy, knowing you can shed a few of your best designer pieces for some decent dollars is huge!

1. Venus and Mars Vintage, The showroom is the dream child of Jack White’s ultra cool wife, model Karen Elson. I haven’t been there yet, but I suspect this Nashville treasure is one in a million,  totally reflective of the her eccentric and beautiful tastes.
