As mentioned before, Eugene is a city fill of great resale and vintage shops.  Recently, Deluxe, located at 1331 Willamette expanded and added Kitsch, located at 1060 Willamette, right next door to the McDonald Theatre.  Kitsch is filled with great vintage goodies at really reasonable prices!  I saw several pairs of shoes for only $8.00 and most sweaters were $8.00 – $13.00.  They have mainly 70s and 80s stuff, with some new funky stuff mixed in and on occasion some 50s and 60s pieces.  They have everything from overalls to shoes to swimsuits to buttons.  Also, both stores are places to sell your old clothes and you’ll get store credit!  So maybe it’s time to clean out that closet of yours and snag some new (to you) vintage swag!

What did I find there?  A fabulous 1960s Carl Naftal dress.  There there no tears, or stains, and the zipper works like new!  It also has a pocket – you heard right – a singular pocket, as shown on the right.  I’ve had zero luck finding out anything about Mr. Naftal.  But I have found a few dresses on-line, and they  range in price  from $265.00 for this beautiful full skirted dress to a mere $14.99.  Most are in the $40.00 price range however.  What did I pay for this beauty? Only $19.00!

Carl Naftal certainly knew style though.  Check out this beauty from Memphis Vintage.  Can we say drop. dead. gorgeous?  I don’t know how much it sold for, but I would have paid an arm and a leg for it, it’s so beautiful!  Memphis Vintage is a great site offering up vintage clothing in fantastic condition, so it’s worth taking a gander at.

In other news…I’m seeing Inglorious Basterds tomorrow night.  I love Nazi movies, Hellboy, The Rocketeer, Indiana Jones.  There are very few bad Nazi movies…Hanover Street is one of them – despite having Harrison Ford in it, it was just plain bad.  I won’t even go into Ilsa She Wolf of the SS and other Nazipolotation flicks, because those don’t count in my books.  Anyhow, I do like Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino on occasions, so I hope it’s good.
