Yelper, Claire P., says, “I found her (Pat) to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable and would thoroughly recommend this store to any one. Coming from London, I made a point of visiting as many vintage stores as I could, and this was by far one of the best in terms of stock and pricing. Her selection of jewelry is outstanding. I will definitely go back next time I'm in LA.”

“This is a fun place to go shopping,” yelps James J. “Don't forget to open up drawers, where you will find hidden treasures! The staff was helpful but you have to ask. The prices were high if you are used to thrift shopping, but it is nice that they have done the digging for you! Also, they do this great things with the tags (they write down where and when the stuff came from).”

Upon walking in, you feel almost like you are in an art gallery with Jimmy Choos and funky jewelry as the art. Turntables sit next to the register blasting Holly's love for electronic music.”

Anonymous Yelper, adds, “Sure there's a lot of pricey stuff, but if u dig enough there's some good stuff. I've noticed a lot of guys like to shop here; This is just from observation. We're not too cool to look up the abbreviations on the movie list. Adds to the cool factor knowing what set it came from, only if you care of course.”

The shop features new designers mixed with used and vintage pieces, like handbags, wallets, and the most adorable jewelry. After wandering most of Magnolia Blvd, the price point here seemed lower than most other places and the quality was excellent.

Having had people often ask them where they buy their clothes, InSil T. tells them Wasteland! “I tell them my top five favorite places to shop are second hand/consignment stores. They either seem shocked, grossed out, or promise me they'll hit those stores. I love recycling fashion.”

This antique store is definitely one of Danielle N.’s favorites. “The prices are just right and, right of the bat, I knew the shop owner was my kind of gal!

Del O. (http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=gldwIoUQS-Gae_gYJlgOyw) was skeptical! “This place was really not my cup of tea. It seemed like a cool place to find costumes at but the majority of the stuff in there I wouldn't wear on a regular basis. I also found the items to be expensive. I felt as though the workers were watching us like hawks. Haven't been stalked like that in a long time. I'm sure some people would find this place to be b*tchin'. I just didn't.”

ZAMBA

331 N San Fernando Blvd, Burbank, CA 91502

(818) 845-2573

“I love this store,” says Yadhira D. “There is a strong Latin and vintage feel to the store but everything is nice and within my price range. The store looks expensive but they have affordable jewelry, clothes, and fun home decor. The owners are very friendly. They've been in business for over 30 years with a store previously across the street.”

"Lady Peter" (aka Victoria, as I've learned from Yelper, Danielle D.) “is the kind of shop owner you hope for when you go to a vintage store like hers! She's extremely friendly and has the most charming English accent to boot. You'll find everything from mid-century modern lamps to Hawaiiana, and collectibles to '40s-era wind-up robot toys.”
