If there's any sure sign that the economy is improving, it's the steady stream of new vintage stores popping up around the Twin Cities. Just last week, Rewind Vintage opened a second location in south Minneapolis (4806 Chicago Av. S., 612-824-1350), and Northeast Vintage debuted (1627 NE. Washington St., Mpls., 612-284-4485). While Rewind has been known for its fantastic jewelry selection, Northeast is sure to have an excellent array of accessories. Co-owner Martine Lizama also designs her own jewelry line, Imelda.

Designer resale shop June hosts an evening of all-local trunk shows, including vintage-inspired lingerie line Jagress Intimates, jewelry line Vintage City Classics and the Elixery, a vegan, locally manufactured lipstick line. Vision models will don looks from all three; Jagress designer Sarah White will conduct private fittings for custom garments, and the Elixery will offer a preview of its new eye shadows, launching this summer. (6-9 p.m. Thu. June, 3406 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls. 612-354-3970.)
