  I started shopping at VIntage! in 2007 and I will shop there until 3007. THAT is how impressed I was with Laura, her family (who work with her), and her selection of gowns/antiques.
  
  I was an awkward 15 year old with little courage and low self esteem looking for a "wow" factor ensemble to wear to my Sweet 16. I walked into Vintage! with no prior knowledge of the store and was greeted by Laura who explained how Vintage! works and that the mens selection wasn't abundant but I might really like it.
  
  As I was led into the eccentric and fabulously decorated show room I saw dresses and gowns from haute couture to ready to wear from the 50's and onward. I was shown the mens selection and quickly found amazing vintage and retro tee shirts, button downs, biker and denim jackets, denim pants, and some pretty groovy slacks. In the back were a handful of silk and embroidered vintage smoking jackets in assorted colors... I fell in love. I had no idea how one would wear a smoking jacket to an event, Laura taught me. The way she styled me at 15 years old was awesome, she made me feel like the most important person and like I had style oozing out of my pores.
  
  I came back a week or so later to pick up my smoking jacket (and a pair of rad 60's sunglasses) with a girlfriend of mine to help her find a dress for my party. That was the first dress I really saw on a client and I was blown away. To this day I wish I could buy it for every girl I know, it was that amazing.
  
  From then on I knew Vintage! was going to be my one stop shop for events. I have seen women, girls, and even some men in the store for occasions ranging from Prom to Weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs to Sweet 16s. Never have I seen a customer leave unsatisfied... unless that customer was leaving empty handed. Never fear though, if they left empty handed they would be back within the month to buy something... The store is that good.
  
  Every reference I have sent to Laura has been a successful one. If a dress wasn't found you would leave with new ideas and options you never thought of. Laura also kept you in mind and if she found something that screamed "you" would give you a call. Only if you wanted that is.
  
  Talk about a treasure trove! Laura has taught me everything I know about styling (which is a plus seeing as I am a stylist) and she could not have been a more sweet, talented, professional about it. She welcomes you to her store (for Prom fittings by appointment only) with a gracious and optimistic outlook. She engages you and gets you to tell her things that lead her to pick out dresses perfect for you... some you never would have known you loved.
  
  If you are in Westchester and don't stop at vintage, you're missing out. I have personally helped handfuls of girls get styled here, seen her dresses all around the county, and even seen her outfits on the red carpet in the comfort of my own home.
  
  If you are looking to play dress up, Vintage! may not be the place for you. But if you take yourself, your style, fashion, and Laura seriously, Vintage! will play dress up with you and leave you loving it and wanting more!
  
  I am now a slightly less awkward 23 year old courageous and confident young gentleman who still shops at Vintage for himself and for the women he loves seeing as it's the best... and only place, to get a stellar experience and dresses that will keep people saying "OMG did you see that DRESS!!?" for years to come.
  
  Oh. and as for the mens selection being small... THEY UPGRADED! now a double store front there is a whole other side dedicated to those who are looking for something a little less "beaded" and a little more "rugged"
  
  Shop here, say James sent you, leave with a smile and memories in the making!
