Review from Jennifer H.

Hidden gem...literally! Can be hard to find as it's tucked between the Pavilions and Sally.
It's a niched store in its staples of dresses and accessories. Think poked dots, retro, goth.
Still, I was there for the used stuff and found something I liked. The used section has been reduced to make room for women's Halloween costumes.
The attention to details and attitude made this a store worth supporting. I will be dropping by when I'm in the neighborhood! -

I really love the pinup/rockabilly scene, so this place is a definite 5-star in my book. Really cute vintage style shoes, dresses, shirts, cardigans and accessories. They also have men's items as well. If you're ever in the area and you're looking for a unique shop, this is the place for you. Super nice staff also

I went in here this past week to check it out after reading the reviews on yelp. It was just as I expected! So many adorable accessories and cute clothes! They have a good selection of both men's and women's retro clothing and I was able to find a ton of things I wanted to call my own. I was even able to find an old diner dress that fit perfectly. I've been looking for one forever!
The staff was super friendly and helpful. I felt comfortable taking my time in the store and didn't feel like I was being sold or hovered over. I got the answered I needed when I asked and all in all it was a good experience! -

Cute little place. They have a wide selection of stockings, shoes, and jewlery. I've been in here a couple times and pretty late. Customer service has always been great.

A tiny store with teeny sizes but definitely worth it to check out. If you like rockabilly, pin-up, horror themed clothes- this place is for you! The sizes do run small though- I normally wear a size S, sometimes a M because of teh boobs but here I was wearing a L-XL. There are some adorable accessories as well: Corset dressed candles, zombie bath lotion, delicious smelling perfumes, and F*ck Cancer items.

This place is great! Their website is up to date and informative, plus they can do special orders. I'm very tall and curvy, so finding something that fits me well is difficult. Being able to try stuff on before you buy it is great, and their size selection is really great (I saw some stuff up to 3x). The men's clothing is a bit sparse, but for women this place is mecca for pinup/rockabilly clothes. Staff was super friendly and helpful - they totally want you to find something that makes you look awesome and fits you perfectly. :)

I love this place. I wish it were bigger and not set into a dinky corner next to a grocery store. I didn't even know it was there for a long time.
They sell handcrafted items and support derby girls. Along with the fancy new clothes, they also have racks in the back with discounted previously worn clothing. I have never gone in there and had a bad experience with an employee-they have always been nice and sweet and helpful-even when I candidly asked whether or not the pencil skirt I was trying on made me look like a sausage.
Sometimes when I go in there I have to only carry a set amount of money with me because otherwise I will buy way too much stuff. They sell fancier clothing as well as screenprinted t-shirts-and their accessories are always adorable and cheap-considering they're handmade.
This doesn't really have anything to do with it, but I think their dressing rooms are super cute. When you go there, you'll know what I"m talking about. I used to live like two minutes away from the store and would show up a lot and spend all of my paycheck-I'm almost glad I'm in Costa Mesa now. It's safer. -

This is the closet to raid to get your Bettie on. Retro vintage inspired threads and the Lux de Ville handbags really razz my berries. They also carry Lucky 13 and King Kerosin for the pink ladies in you. The accessories and trinkets are the cats meow and they even got fits for the ankle biters. Thanks PC, you got me on pinup status and my closet has never been more cherry!

Just went in today after being absent for a year...was so excited to see that they had not left! I squeaked in just before closing and initially felt guilty. The girl that helped me out was really sweet and had plenty of suggestions (and kept telling me I wasn't keeping her waiting, no problem, etc). I only come in when I need something specific considering it's terribly difficult to not spend oodles of money here, but the goodies and good service make it all worthwhile :)

Review from Martha M.
Anaheim, CA
This review is based solely on visiting one of their booths at a Roller Derby game I attended. They have The Cutest Stuff!!
I was getting ready to leave and just happen to see some really cute flower pins that I've seen my friend Christa M. wear before, so I had to stop and check them out!
They had everything a girl could want accessory wise, and even a few cute dresses! If I had more cash on me, I would have ended up buying way too much! All I can say is, Thank God they didn't have a credit card machine at the time, because I would have blown a lot of money on their merchandise!
The attendants were super nice and the girl who created the flower pins was there. She mentioned that every flower she makes is unique, so that if a girl goes out, she doesn't have to worry about another girl wearing the same flower!!
I walked away from the table with a cute double red rose pin with feathers, to match what I was currently wearing! I'll have to update my review, once I visit the store.Listed in: Roller Derby !

Didn't particularly like the form of customer service I had here which is really just too darn bad being that I saw some really cute finds.. but the sales lady left a bad taste in my mouth. she looked like Pirate/fortune teller anyhow so it makes this place look super cheesy..This store needs to do itself a favor and Get rid of the old hag behind the register already.. seriously bad for business!

Bring lots of money with you, not because theyre expensive but because you will want to buy a large quantity of items...ha. Last time I went there I went in repeating "only fishnets only fishnets"...yeah, came out with a new purse...and maybe a few more things:)
They also have some pretty awesome mens shirts.
Love them! -

There are some cute, cute, cute clothes hidden in here!
Granted, not a lot of clothes--but some unique outfits that would only otherwise be found throughout random & scattered So Cal vintage stores--with HOURS of diligent hunting AND a ton of luck .
I almost didn't see this place, but meandered in upon being distracted on my way to Julie's Accessories. Unfortunately, this place is in a hard to spot corner next to Pavillions.
Though I didn't end up getting anything, the salesgirls were polite, but not pushy or annoying. I'll definitely be coming back here. -

Finally, this type of store was needed in this neighborhood.
Cute Rockabilly/Punk clothes, accessories, and friendly owner/staff.
If you want something they're out of, just let them know... they'll shoot you an email when it comes in!
AND, if you're a derby girl... make sure to check out their merch, a lot of fun little derby inspired stuff! -

Definitely worth the drive from Rancho. Cute little shop with a nice personal touch tucked away in a mall off Beach blvd at Heil. Wonderful selection of eclectic accesories. They have handcrafted bows, flowers and adorable purses. They have alot of brand names like Lux de Ville, Too Fast, Lucky 13 and others that I can't recall. Worth checking out before hitting the next Rockabilly event or car show. Nice attentive service if you need some help or really laid back if you want to do your thing. I'll be back once my wallet recovers. Thanks :)

Review from Stephanie B.

1/5/2011 2 Check-ins Here
OMG if you are into Lucky 13 or styles similar to their's, you should definitely check this place out! I was looking for retro lingerie, i.e. Marilyn style panties and bras and corsets, but found amazing pencil skirts here! They actually come below the knee so I don't have to worry about my garter popping out from beneath the hem! Which is great because I have really long thighs and it is ridiculously hard to find skirts that look good and are modest. The only downfall is that they do not offer retro style underclothes and they only have LegAvenue stockings. (Again, I'd love LegAv if my legs weren't so long). Other than those two things, they have amazing clothes and accessories priced fairly! I think the most expensive skirt I bought was $26! When I was shopping online, everything that I found was at least $80. They fit decently well. In order to fit over my hips I had to get a size larger, which makes the waist a little too big, but whatever. I'd rather have room in my waist than look like a sausage. Overall, this place is a must visit and I will be there frequently!!
