I’ve been ruminating on my St. Augustine guide for quite some time. The Oldest City is one of my very favorite places to spend a day — it has such a fun personality, due to its rich history, kitschy touristy stops, and youthful energy courtesy of the Flagler College students that abound.
There are a lot of places to shop for vintage in St. Aug and I tried to include all of my favorites below. That being said, I veered away from the typical tourist traps — I figure if you want to go the Fountain of Youth or the Alligator Farm, you can find that on Yelp. Here, I want to share the more off-the-beaten path places I frequent (to thrift, eat, and shop).
Typically, I list out my thrift guides in the order in which you hit them on a map but today, I’m listing them out by categories. Because there’s a lot to do in St. Augustine and a lot of stops to make, and you might not want to hit all of them.
That being said, I still plotted everything out on a map, because I love you!
PS. I recently spoke to Dwell about shopping for The Golden Girls look at the thrift: the materials to look for, how to get the look without going too literal, that kind of thing. It’s a fun read!
