Vintage Redesign - Shrimpton Couture
I found out about Shrimpton Couture via fabulous fashion blogger Wendy B, and was stunned when I saw all the super-rare, mint-quality vintage that owner Cherie has amassed over the years.
The impeccable selection of hand-picked high-end vintage with the haute mix of Ossie Clark, Thea Porter and Galanos, among other rare designers, seems too good to be true - but it's real! This is not a dream!
The Shrimpton Couture site has been redesigned for better browsablity and ease-of-use, and was relaunched earlier this week - be sure to check it out. Here are some of my favorite finds:

3. 70s Turquoise Frank Usher Gown
4. Polka Dot and Stripe Teal Traina Dress
I am a proud owner of a Shrimpton Couture vintage bracelet (see above), which arrived carefully and beautifully packaged, and am saving up for a little Ossie piece, which will probably come from there also, seeing how she manages to find exquisite ones.
