I was there for only a weekend, but hello, how could I not shop vintage while in West Palm Beach?
Glam Vintage was recommended to us by a stylish gal at Anthropologie. Owner Kathryn Jacobson specializes in clothing and accessories from the 1930s to 80s, with a special place in her heart (like me) for the 1970s.
The shop is located on this highway known for its antique stores and the odd thrift shop. I didn't have a chance to check out any other storefronts, but this one looks as though it could be the gem of the lot.
I fell in love with this 1970s (?) gold-tone necklace for about 30 bucks.
The necklace looked pretty fetching with this 1970s dress with a label that reads "Futura Couture of New York". Love it. The frock fits me perfectly (the sizing is wee so I can't gain a fraction of an inch around my waist) and I adore the style, colours and pattern.
V-necks typically don't look good on me but the almost halter-style bodice actually flatters and, well, quite frankly enhances my rather modest bust.
I should say that my dearums bought me the dress, sweetie pie.
Next time you're in Palm Beach check it out. Prices aren't thrift but they're not bad for vintage. Dress can start as low as about $30 or $40. Mine was $120 US.
You can always take your honey with you if you're having financing difficulties, tee hee.
