So, I just came from the grand opening, and am very impressed with the newest vintage shop in Phoenix. Although it is a small space, owner Jessica Carroll has laid it out very well and very resourcefully might I add. Who knew [a] 2×4 and screws could make such aesthetically pleasing displays?
Named after Jessica’s Pug, Blueberry, the storefront is red and white polka dotted and filled with absolute goodness. It offers vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories for women, as well as accessories screen printed tees, makeup, and tassels (yes nipple tassels) done by local talent.
I scored an adorable hot pink number for Valentine’s Day and leather cuff made by a local artist that completed my outfit for the evening. Prices are very reasonable and in some instances ridiculously low to the point you feel maybe you should inform them that they may have made an error.
As for the clothing, [it is] mostly dresses, but she also offers 2 piece suits, tops and sweaters, and skirts. All of the garments are in impeccable condition and grouped in a rainbow spectrum which speaks to my soul.
I wish Jessica the best of luck and definitely think she has something different to offer Phoenix shoppers with her eclectic mix of vintage and handmade items.

Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 25 million viewers just last month!
