I think we can all agree the Susie from Style Bubble has been instrumental in the downfall of many a wallet! Yes, sorry Susie but it's true! You have introduced lots of people to lots of lovely places to spend their hard earned. For me, there has been one shop in particular that was an instant love affair - the online vintage/second-hand store The Urban Collection. Oh what a wonderful treasure trove of a shop! So far, I have acquired 2 things which I adore, and constantly scout to see if there are any other super scoops to be had.
My first scoop was the red jacket of which I replaced the black buttons with silver dome ones (as I have tendency to do), and my latest is this wonderful 70's shiny blouse with black zips. Yum!!
If you buy something from The Urban Collection you are treated to a really personal service, which for me makes all the difference. You get a little handwritten "thank you" postcard with your order, and the lovely, lovely Dree even sent me some pretty bracelets with my blouse! How sweet is that? Not only that, but in your email she'll call you nice things like "cutie" - or maybe it's just me!...I think Dree and I have bonded. Do you feel it Dree? I feel it.
Dree's picks are impeccable. She selects sure fire winners as everything seems to be totally on trend in one way or another, be it by style or label.
So if you haven't already, get clicking your way around the store and get a hold of some of that hand picked treasure for yourself - although don't take all the good stuff or I shall send round the palace guards to confiscate at will!

This site is fantastic, as are your beautiful purchases. Only problem is, almost everything that raised a gasp of 'got to have it' was already sold - I see it'll have to be one that I check regularly... Oh my poor bank balance

I feel your pain Lisa, I feel your pain. You have to keep checking even if that means getting up in the night!

That red jacket is amazing! I love the fact that the site sells lots of vintage clothing in smaller sizes, at last!
