Color of the day- Lilac. Debbie Harry - 10 years ago today The Girl Can't Help It This just came up in my memories. I’ve known Debbie a long tome, and the nice thing about her is it doesn’t matter how long since you’ve seen her, it feels like only yesterday. Fun day in the shop with & Michael Schmidt Studios

When we had our store in London and would come to the states to shop, we’d always be upset at all the vintage stores who put away all their vintage and turned into Halloween stores!! Starting in September! So just a note to mention that we do not put any of our vintage away, but we do have alot of ORANGE for September, and maybe we’ll change to black for October. And we still can help you put together a Halloween costume. Come see us San Diego Vintage Crawl Sept 25-27 for 10% off all vintage.
