the family jewels

looking for legit, awsome, beautiful vintage clothing? tired of goodwill on route 22? we have the answer.



While perusing the streets on a spring day Jess and I stumbled upon a prize among prizes. The Family Jewels located on W23 between 6th and 7th is a dream not only for the fashion diva but for us regular folks intrested in the threads. Walking down the steps you are over come with purses, hand bags, and handkerchiefs on the first few tables. Walking further into the store, on your left is an endless case of broches, necklaces, clip on earrings, and rings. To your right you will find racks and rack of dresses, coats, skirts, shirts. The tags of the clothing not only hold the price but the time period of the piece. Yes the prices may be hefty, but if you want to treat yourself to a one of a kind piece that totally says something about you...I say go for it. Who cares! Not I, I would never judge.

In the back of the store are shoes and shoes...my favorite thing about vintage or second hand stores. Shoes, hats, and the dressing rooms are in the rear where you will most likely find the staff steaming new incoming dresses. It's fun just to browse, has men's clothes, and you feel like you have walked into a time capsule.
Take a peak, and if your feeling frisky make a purchase. But I must say you are entitled to send us a picture of what you bought!!

Happy Wednesday. Its glorious out.
