| - "Bunky Boutique" leaves my mouth at least three times a day.
Ever since I went to their new beautiful space next to the Roosevelt, I found I a silver feather necklace that matches my brushed aluminum frames pretty well and people are automatically drawn to it. I am starting to feel pretty naked when I don't wear it! And considering the only other necklaces I own are pearl ones and my giant lobster necklace, this is a big style commitment.
However, that wasn't my first purchase-it was the 1st for myself, but I have purchased many the fine t-shirt for Mr. Mustachio here (including a fine mustache shirt) for under $30, done by local designers, and guarenteed to not make you look like all the other Urban Outfitter douchebags that paid up to $50 bucks for a mass printed shirt that they probably stole from a local designer (shout out Johnny Cupcakes!) anyway.
I learned about this boutique from participating in the Green Fashion Event at a bookstore January 2008 where Rachel's clothes were showcased. I popped in not too long after and was completely impressed by the selection, and the ladys duds are great BUT I find it hard to resist buying something for my mister everytime I walk in-from sweaters, polos, tees, jackets, belts, the best hats ever, to hand printed silk ties, the place is classy and edgy, a difficult combination to pull off.
For all the moaning of prices, Frances Vintage is five xs the cost and everything is 1/3 the cost of Urban Outfitters-and you are supporting a local economy of local designers, crafswork and small business owners. If you want better prices and more selection, might as well go to Tempe Marketplace where international child labor keeps the cost of your hip t-shirt low instead of walking around your city, drinking beer from the roosevelt and cold-chillin' w/Rachel-your loss.
