It’s that time of year to get your
wardrobe together for the
fall/winter.
What better way to do it in vintage
and retro inspired pieces. I went to
four vintage stores in Memphis,TN
(Found Memphis,Flashbacks,Red
Velvet Vintage & Hoot & Louise).
They all have its own niche and a
huge inventory of vintage goodies!
This was a fun shopping experience.
I bought cute vintage items and
played dress up with found vintage

wallet and come shop with me!
First stop is Found Memphis on
board ave. (the border of midtown)
in Binghamton area. FM open their
doors 18 months ago during board
spring art walk. When I enter the
store it was like stepping into Iona
apartment (Annie Potts of pretty in
pink movie). I mean they have a
great inventory of mid-century to
early 80s;especially,in coats,vinyls
& accessories. Paige the owner of
FM greet us with a warm smile
