Another hidden gem only discovered through the previously hidden gem called Zinnias! Love, love, love this place! So, OK, I don’t really wear vintage, but I love to look at the stuff and always dream of finding the perfect vintage dress that will fit me like a glove and stun those living in my little world. And, I know when I find that magical dress, it will likely be found at Hollywood Regency.
They’ve got some great stuff, and the place doesn’t smell like mothballs and mildew. It’s clean and fresh and funky. Oh, and there are two cats that saunter around the place, greeting you every now and then will a quick meow. Funky fashion and felines… what’s better than that?!
But in all seriousness, I really think this is a topnotch place to find great vintage clothes. Everything is in great condition and stylish — not so over the top that you could only wear it on Halloween, but unique enough that you look hip, classic and one of a kind. They’ve got tons of dresses, from causal to dressy to formal. I keep wishing I’d get invited to some great event, so I could find a cool, sleek dress that everyone will wonder where I got it from. (I’ve always wanted to tell someone, “Oh, this? This is vintage.”) They also have some Krameresq shirts for men, a great selection of coats and shoes for both sexes, and also some cool costume jewelery and classic handbags.
So, if vintage is your thing, definitely take a trip to Hollywood Regency. And even if it isn’t, still go. You might be surprised by how cool it can be!
Hollywood Regency Vintage is located at 724 W. Indian School Rd. in Melrose — 602.277.5765
The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core. DPJ hopes that by partnering with Yelp to spread the good word about well-loved Downtown spots, you’ll spread your patronage and support local business.
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 26 million viewers just last month!
