Impressive gem of a shop! So many beautiful items in one spot. Check out the 1960s magic spinning clothes racks.

Went into Great Eastern today to browse, and had a great time chatting with Emily, who was serving up not only killer tunes, but excellent fashion advice to boot. Awesome selection of eccentric "vintage" clothes, definitely worth taking the time to take a thorough look through!

I saw a Tik Tok about this place, I noticed a jacket I had been looking for for years. I checked when it had been uploaded, and it was only 5 hours before. I just so happened to be going into Boston the next day for the vaccine. My super hot and cute boyfriend (who definitely didn't write this) and I went to go see it it was still there and if it fit. Lo and behold, the jacket had remained! It fits, and I loved it, and I did get it, as well as another coat.
