Armstrong's website calls it a "cornucopia", of vintage and because, trying to be true to good writing, I hate to copy other people's, I just enjoyed this word so much that I had to reproduce it in this review. Armstrong's certainly has been on the scene longer than your average vintage punter, and is one of the old school gang, who were in on the joy of vintage long before every girl and her handbag decided to get involved, i.e. at the moment, with the current crazy for anything vintage.
Not that I'm complaining, I love vintage jewels and I do enjoy a good hunt for random, crazy items, depending on my mood. If you're a dedicated vintage aficionado and will wear nothing else, Armstrong's really is something to see, and to hunt down for its retro joy. The main section with all the ladies wear is absolutely awesome to behold, with the wedding dresses and fur coats hanging up (some real, some not, I'm not really sure) above your head, and any other vintage garment or accessory you could imagine chancing upon.
If you've got a spare 20 minutes just to have a good rummage, this is a brilliant place to come and adventure through. Last time I was in I tried on a silver, sparkly jumper dress, which made me look very 80s, and which come to think of it, I should have bought. That's it, I'm going back to hunt for it...right now. Review break!
