Little Five Points

Lucky's favorite stores in Atlanta's Little Five Points neighborhood!
The third eponymous outpost from one of Atlanta's retail visionaries (his other stores focus on fancier lines), has a mod atmosphere and outstanding finds, including Cheap Monday denim and Toms espadrilles.
424 Moreland Ave. NE, 404-522-1010
Occupying a bright red building smack in the middle of the rough-and-tumble Little Five Points area (home to tattoo parlors and innumerable bars), this easy-to-shop, organized-by-color vintage depot devotes entire walls to specific cuts of collectible Levi's and pleasingly beat-up cowboy boots.
420 Moreland Ave. NE, 404-524-5070
Jaclyn Effron, who honed her vision while moonlighting as a travel and style editor in New York, designed this massive and airy space to feel like a general store. There's definitely a little bit of everything, all displayed on antique library-card cases and wrought-iron pot racks. Peach-patterned Marimekko sneakers, sheer yellow slipdresses by Wren, and rose-scented candles in antique porcelain teacups are among the mix.
245 N. Highland Ave. NE, Ste. 120, 404-681-4696
In the center of slightly hippieish Candler Park, this neo-romantic emporium outfits its bohemian clientele for special occasions (its adjoining shop specializes in wedding gowns). It's stocked with cool, keep-it-forever partywear, like dresses from Thread Social and sought-after Australian labels like Alannah Hill and Lisa Ho.
1649 McLendon Ave. NE, 404-377-9923
This humongous, world-famous second-weekend-of-the-month event—with 2,400 vendors—abounds with serious antiques and cute tchotchkes, like vintage toy soldiers.
3850 Jonesboro Rd. SE, 404-363-2299
The city's oldest vintage resource primarily features pre-'70s eras, so there are a few things that feel more costumey than everyday (poodle skirts, for one). But there's also a wealth of timeless '60s shifts and stunning evening gowns, all sorted by style, size (with actual measurements), and color, which makes the circular racks a pleasure to shop.
1160 Euclid Ave. NE, 404-688-4929
Recently relocated, this boutique still has the same well-chosen mix, including handprinted bags by Talulah B.
