| Jafar Silk Shirt Dress by Diane von Furstenberg Posted: 21 Jun 2011 10:15 AM PDT Who better to turn to for seventies revivalist fashion that the designers who made their name in the decade itself? That's the key to the great looks of Diane von Furstenberg's latest designs, like this Jafar Silk Shirt Dress with its pitch perfect seventies looks. The relaxed fit of the dress is key to its high end, luxurious feel, using a rich silk fabric that creates femininity out of the menswear-inspired shirt design. The use of a true seventies-glam tan shade adds a hint of that much-loved Riviera style, with a waist-cinching belt to tie it all together. It's available online in the UK from Net-a-Porter for £400.

| Retro Maternity Jeans from Topshop Posted: 21 Jun 2011 09:45 AM PDT While the options for true vintage maternity wear might be limited to smocks and voluminous dresses, there's plenty of retro options available for expecting mums available from modern retailers. These Maternity Skinny Jeans from Topshop are ideal for creating a cool cropped mid-century look with all the comfort you need thrown in. The skinny cut combined with a cropped leg create a cool capri style, ideal for fifties and sixties looks. The use of bright shades of red and teal add another element to the vintage feel, offering a great wardrobe basic. The jeans have elastic panelling at the waistline to accommodate for the baby bump, too. They're now available from Topshop for £38. Find out more from the website |
| Sir Harald Panel Curtain by Lisa Bengtsson Posted: 21 Jun 2011 08:01 AM PDT
Like many of Lisa's patterns, it combines black and white with bold splashes of colour. In this case, the design is a tribute to Lisa's great grandfather Harald, although I'm not sure if the rather dashing retro-looking man in the print is actually him. The curtain measures 43cm by 260 cm and costs £53.56. Buy it online from the Scandinavian Design Center. |

It could easily pass as something from the 1970s, although it was created by Martin Vallin in 2010 and rather than wicker, it uses recycled pine plywood. Even at the current discounted price, the Cappellini Secret Clubhouse is, I suspect, out of most people's price range for a single piece of furniture. It costs £5,863.98 (reduced from £6,898.80). If you have the desire and means, buy it online at Nest. |
| Musical Bouquet print by Madamesange Posted: 21 Jun 2011 02:41 AM PDT
Madamesange is otherwise known as Helen Lang. This piece has something of a fifties/early sixties feel about it, from the boxy look of the musician to the sketchy style of the flowers. A lovely piece of artwork, if you like it we advise moving quickly - it's a limited edition of just twenty. The print costs £58. Buy it from Elphicks |
| Marionette Wallpaper by Ferm Living Posted: 21 Jun 2011 02:32 AM PDT Cast your mind back and you may remember the Marionette cushions, the result of a collaboration between Ferm Living and Darling Clementine. Those creatures are back, this time ready to liven up your kid's bedroom in the form of this Marionette Wallpaper. The four creatures - Frank Fox, Elle Elephant, Posy Panda and Aristo Katt - are, as with the cushions, depicted in a retro style and here is shown as a repeated pattern against a turquoise background. A timeless design for a kid's room, the wallpaper costs £59.95 a roll. Buy it from Wallpaper Direct |
| Pearl & Ivy Liberty Print Ears Alice Band from ASOS Posted: 21 Jun 2011 01:50 AM PDT
Pearl & Ivy are London-based design duo Carly Beischer and Samantha Neary. They draw their influences from vintage styling and the glamourous designs of the 1920's and 1930's. A flexible metal band within the Liberty print fabric allows you to shape the hairband however you like; be it in a sharp bow like the one pictured here - or go all out and give yourself a pair of ears; either way you can be sure your style will go the distance. The bow is handmade and costs £30 from ASOS.
