Your fabulous blog is always incredibly informative and amusing, and has most certainly become my primary spot of the vast and wide internets to indulge in my daily (and sometimes hourly) hip and thrifty fashion fix. But all jabbering adoration aside, I must insist that you ladies pay a visit to the best (in my humble opinion) thrifting and vintage huntin' in our own US of A: Tampa Bay, Florida. Once one sets aside that exhaused notion of Florida being a tropical paraside comprised of sandy beaches and bikini-clad darlings, the REAL Florida can make itself known: endless kitschy pit-stops and attractions, like Dinosaur World and other fablously-run-down "theme" parks centered on animal personification (Ahem...Gatorland?), cute and quaint small towns, and of course...overflowing amounts of Snowbirds and permanently-settled old people. Which causes the most glorious attraction of all: loads of excellent, knock-your-american-apparel-socks-off thriftage! Think about it...the sunny, glowing beacon of Florida attracts old ladies by the truckloads, who wind up yielding (or should I say, christening) the local Goodwill with their ultra snazzy vintage wardrobes. The income of these goods is so large, in fact, that some lovely thrift stores in my area have created large and bargain-priced vintage sections. These babies, from my experience, tend to remain fully stocked, usually until myself and friends clean 'em out. So this is my petition for sunny, lovely Florida. Most of the hip goddesses I know and love reside in St. Petersburg. Many are pioneers in the thrifty fashion world themselves, and very accomodating, so I forsee that something could be worked out :-) I don't think you'd regret, even and incie wiencie bit, coming down here. <3 Sarah <abbr><em>SarahSaurus’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20796969" rel="nofollow">Vintage 70s Knit Space Dyed EARTH TONES Sweater Duster</a></abbr></em> Hello, Miss Amber!

I never walk out of any of them empty-handed, swear to god! & I would be so down to clothes swap with any of you :] Haha Escondido rules. Whoa!

So while the environment isn't the nicest, you can spend hours literally digging through clothes waist-high, and take home whatever you want for 1$ PER POUND. There's also electronics, books, furniture, and other knick-knacks. This place is spectacular. That being said, Santa Cruz also has the real Goodwill store (quite nice), a Salvation Army (so-so), and quite a few slightly more pricey vintage stores on the main street (Pacific). If you're in the area I would definitely recommend stopping by our little neck of the woods (hah, literally). Santa Cruz, CA:
