Must See e

Here are my favorites:
www.urbanitystore.com
Urbanity Store is an American company selling various brands, though many are American, surprisingly. Brands such as ‘Emily Strange'; ‘Electric jam'; ‘Doko'; and ‘Dirty Dog' are sold here, and although I've not heard of many of them, it does make a nice change and more importantly, a chance to own something none of your friends have seen a copy of in Primark. ‘Pucca', ‘Savage' and ‘Boxfresh' are also sold here, and their names also ring a bell so you don't feel totally lost within the companies! The site is easy to navigate around and everything is clearly labelled. Selling both Men and Women's clothing, there is plenty for all, though the clothes are mor
e kitted out to attract buyers between the ages of 16- 25.
If you love anything to do with the shoes then this is the place to be. This site is based in Manchester and has any type of shoe you could wish for. Heel, kitten heels, sling-backs, flats, boots, knee high boots, over the knee etc, the list really does go on. The prices range from £15 to £170 depending on styles and brand names and stock up to a size 9. The site is very user friendly and completely girly. ‘Babycham'; ‘Ciccia'; ‘Fred Perry' and Marc Jacobs are some of the 142 brands they stock. They also have a fabulous collection of handbags, accessories and jewellery from Armani, Dolce and Gabanna, rising handbag stars like Aksuona, Beijo and Janet and Jane. This site is great for women only and there is something for all ages.
This site not only offers you great clothing and accessories to match but has a section dedicated to keeping their readers up to date on the latest trends and must haves of that week. All items seen in the press are automatically put up on the site to let you find the item easily which is really useful and also a personal shopper is on offer!! The clothes are fashionable and for all women of all sizes. They stock clothing from ‘French Connection'; ‘Miss Sixty' and ‘Bertie' shoes. The site is ideal for all aged women too, and with helpful hints on what to wear with what no one can go wrong!
This store is as the name suggests very urban, it is targeted towards those women who are a little more tom-boyish and men also. Names such as ‘Analog'; ‘Addict' and ‘OBEY' create a rough and ready vibe about the site alongside famous American brands such as ‘Van' and ‘Fresh n Tasty'. There is a wide variety of clothing available although I doubt you'll succeed in finding a pair of heels amongst the skaters' trainers and checked shirts. It's a site that is slightly different from the ones above but if you're into the urban styles then its perfect.

Here it offers you the choice of 1000's of authentic vintage, retro and antique pieces of clothing, each item being just as beautiful as the previous. The pieces only come in the one size as it's the only one on the site yet overall the sizes do vary, however because they are vintage the size do tend to be a lot smaller than the average size 10. From the 1920's to the 1940's there are items which can attract us all. Shoes are not sold, but accessories, jewellery and collectables make you feel anything but deprived.
Enjoy this seasons latest trend by sitting in the comfort of your own home and finding the real meaning of "retail therapy"…
