Patch Blog: If I'm Not Eating, I'm Shopping

A price tag in 90042

I couldn't care less if my shopping bags consisted of plastic rather than branded totes, my poise goes unaffected.

I'm not a snob when it comes to a $10 dress or a pair of shoes with a $150 price tag. I shop, and it’s not to fill a hole in my soul, but to fulfill the personality I hang on plastic hangers, because we all know that outfits speak louder than words.

Here is a list of thrift/vintage stores that should be a part of your character building, and remember it’s not about how many times that cardigan was worn before you that matters, it’s about dry cleaning it before it’s worn.  

  •                                                                                          

If you speak Spanish you’re in luck. Ignore the racks in the front and head to the dresses and skirts in the back.

  • Second Chance                                                                                                                                           

This place is a gold mine! If you’re familiar with the Pomona Antique Mall then this is it locally!


  • Urchin                                                                                                            

I thank my lucky stars for this one! Late night shopping while bar hopping between the York and , cheers!                                                                                    

My Top Picks


 

  •                                                                                  

Loca is now closed; follow them on Facebook for pop up store locations.

  • Eloelia’s Boutique                                                                                                           

The best for last! If anyone cried as much as I did to see Eloelia close her doors on York Boulevard, then grab a tissue and knock on her new door at 5128 York Boulevard! Introduce yourself and tell her I've sent you; Eloelia has to be the sweetest thing besides pan dulce and her selections of clothes are picked for the dainty girl in all of us. She’s also at theon Tuesdays.

I want peace and quiet in my home. "No way, Jose" believes I should not have peace andRead More quiet in my home. That is a dicatator.

False? Wrong!! I have the letter as proof. Did "no way, Jose" write the letter? IfRead More patch wants to see it, let me know. It is the truth.

Church members want peace and quiet in their own homes but the freedom to force religion on others.Read More And, they want the freedom to force noise into other people's homes. Anyone from Divine Saviour want some noise forced into their home like some banging metal pans?

Jesse is fine. He is campaining for Cedilllo. Neither have ran away. Both have appreciated myRead More help in campaining for Cedillo. His eyeliner must have faded away. All that matters is that he will do more than "no way, Jose" has done in 12 years with "do nothing, Ed Reyes." My problem is not with bells, it is with the noise (amplified sound) from Divine Saviour Catholic Church. You need to get your facts straight. Noise is a mental issue. Divine Saviour Catholic Church is the one with a mental issue. They are hypocrites that they want to force noise on others then they themselves want peace and quiet. Get the facts.

@nonise: Girl, perhaps you should see a doctor. Bells are not your problem. You may have a mentalRead More issue that could be eased with therapy. Cedillo must want to run screaming when you approach him, as did Jesse Rosas, your first crush for councilman. Remember when you threw Cedillo under the bus, for Jesse? You even attacked Cedillo for having tattooed eyeliner. How base. How is Jesse, by the way? Haven't seen him.
