Urban Buzz launched it’s first collection for Autumn Winter 2007 with the aim of appealing to young women who want a wardrobe that combines excellent style and design with comfort and ethics.
I’ll admit that I hadn’t heard of it until swedish designer Annette Lennerup contacted me a couple of weeks ago suggesting a collaboration. The collections offer clean lines with cute quirky details using mostly ethical and organic materials. So right up my street!
After a quick browse round the wesbite we agreed that Annette would send me the Berlin Knit top, so I could see the quality for myself, and then we’d offer Retro Chick readers the chance to win their very own! You can’t beat updating your winter wardrobe for free, surely?
I picked my jumper up from the sorting office on Saturday morning, and I pretty much haven’t stopped wearing it since.
Jumper - Urban Buzz Skirt & Belt - Vintage Hairband - Topshop
The seams were nicely finished, the organic cotton rib knit felt thick and good quality and I really liked the slash neckline. Plus the tags were safety pinned on, which for some reason I really like when I buy clothes. I know, I’m a freak!
It’s a perfect addition to my wardobe actually. I belted it in and wore it over a floral skirt, and rib tights, making the florals work perfectly in the chilly weather. Today I am wearing it unbelted with jeans, and it works just as well.
I love the little thumb holes in the top, I have a tendency to pull my jumpers down over my hands anyway so it’s nice to have offical justification to wear it like that without getting told off for stretching my clothes out, and it’s a cute and cosy detail.
So, how can you win your very own Berlin Knit Top worth £70, for absolutely nothing?

I absolutely love the balham dress, I would probably wear it simply as it is in the summer with some flat mary janes.
But equally i’d happily donn tights and a cute cardi for winter or wear it with heels.
I love the designs, particularly the dresses.

I like the balham dress. I’d wear it with yellow shoes and necklace, earing and bangles.
I love the Primrose Cardigan!

I loved the Frog Princess dress. I’d team it with a Power dressing, little black jacket and ankle boots and perhaps a statement necklace.
