We were on a charity shop crawl of the west end(best idea ever, Nicola C!) and this was one of the stand-out shops for me. I’m ashamed to say I’d never been in before as I’m really not much of a charity/vintage shopper(something to do with a short attention span and a sensitive nose). Starry Starry Night is really different from the other shops in the West End — mainly because it’s not a charity one, so it has a really different look, feel and range to it. It’s for vintage aficionados(of which I’m not) but I still really liked the shop. It’s got such an interesting range, from kilts to gloves, to a lovely jewellery section as well as coats, dresses and skirts. They have a really sweet part of the store with pull out drawers with things like ties, scarves, gloves. I really liked the interior of this store and will definitely be back for another nosey soon!

This is one of my favourite vintage shops in the west end. Whenever I have a spare 5 mins on Byres Road I will always try to pop in. To be honest I never look at the clothes, there does seem to be a great selection for your average west end hipster tho… top hats, military jackets, japanese kimonos and the like. However, it is the jewellery in this shop that I am always drawn to. They always have the best selection of glittery broaches, necklaces and gorgeous sparkly earrings to choose from. My favourite era for jewellery is the 1900 — 1920s which the usually have lots of so I very very rarely leave the shop without purchasing a little treat. Everything is very reasonably priced and well worth a visit if you are looking for something a little more unique.

Hidden away on Ruthven Lane, this is a lovely little cave of vintage treasures. There are pigeon holes filled with scarves, stockings and pretty gloves that wouldn’t be out of place in the forties. You can easily lose yourself here amongst the rails of fabulous dresses and counter full of beautiful brooches. For the gents there are some fantastic military jackets as well as some classic vintage suits for the stylish gentleman. There are some gorgeous things to be found in here, especially their one of a kind accessories, which can be a little pricey, however in my experience, some polite haggling can work a treat.
