Mercedes Bien Vintage Go here! No, seriously...go. She has a fantastic collection of vintage pieces! I found lots of stuff in there I wanted to buy and spent over an hour in there just trying things on and talking to the owner (Mercedes). 
She is incredibly personable and interesting to talk to, albeit a liiiitle pushy at times. She has been buying and selling vintage clothing/shoes/accessories/jewelry/knick knacks her whole life and it shows. She hand picks every piece, caters to many different styles and showcases pieces from several different eras. You can tell she values every customer that walks into her store and gives each the attention they deserve.She even offered to put me on a payment plan when I told her I couldn't afford everything I wanted. I didn't know what my life was digressing to if I had to finance vintage clothes!
She had an awesome purse and wallet I was inspecting that was made completely out of cigarette cartons. Upon looking at the tag I read that it was prison art, so she explores different artistic mediums in her buying practices.
I thought the presentation of merchandise was great too...a lot of the shoes she had on display were showcased on top of old Ferragamo boxes.
Her collection also includes a smaller men's section and nightgowns, some lingerie, and sleepwear.
FYI only open on weekends though...Sat: 12-6/ Sun: 12-5
Go check it out!!
