| Day Of The Dead earrings from Fred Flare Posted: 30 Jun 2011 10:58 AM PDT The use of kitschy logos and prints in 50s revivalist fashion can be hard to pull off as the focus of any outfit, but including these designs can be easy with the use of the right accessories. These Day Of The Dead Earrings from Fred Flare are an ideal choice for lovers of psychobilly styles. Using designs inspired by the Mexican Dia De Los Muertos, the skull and floral designs create a small piece that edgy kitsch that really makes the psychobilly and more extreme rockabilly aesthetics come to life. The studs come in a pack of three pairs to mix and match. They're available now from Fred Flare for $16. Find out more from the website |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2011 10:52 AM PDT For a versatile alternative to dresses, the recent resurgence of the jumpsuit is ideal. With the added influence of vintage originals on modern versions, there's a great range of options for retro lovers on the high street. This Soft Khaki Jumpsuit from Next has a great seventies feel that leans on the relaxed yet luxurious aesthetic of disco-era fashion. Suitable for day or nightwear, the deep khaki shade has a cool 70s edge, while the combination of loose draping and the feminine wrap waist creates a laid-back chic. It's available from Next now for £40. Find out more from the website |
| eBay watch: 1970s Philips 22 GF 623 portable stereo record player Posted: 30 Jun 2011 08:37 AM PDT Once again, a portable turntable catches our eye, this time the Philips 22 GF 623 portable stereo record player. |
| Blaue Blume Tea Service from Undergrowth Designs Posted: 30 Jun 2011 04:00 AM PDT In terms of crockery for afternoon tea, our favourite meal of the day, we thought we'd seen everything. Oh how wrong we were. In no way whatsoever is this Blaue Blume Tea Service from Undergrowth Designs just another collection of twee patterned cups & saucers. The plates are adorned with an intricate 1920s lace pattern with a simplistic 'Eat me!' slogan in your choice of black or gold, whilst the cups, teapot and other pieces are finished with a pair of ladies legs. Some of the more eccentric pieces include the sugar bowl, which is designed as an old fashioned rolltop bath, and the petit four stand, which is propped up at the bottom by an antique doll's head. Every piece has been lovingly made and glazed by hand in London. Although it will not be to everyone's taste, this is a truly unique collection that will no doubt cause a stir at your next tea party. Pieces in the collection start from £12.26. You can see the full range on the Undergrowth Designs website. |
| Michelle Mason Forest Picnic tea towel Posted: 30 Jun 2011 03:33 AM PDT
Michelle Mason's colourful retro designs are always favourites on this site, so it's good to see some new products from the designer, including this Forest Picnic tea towel. Like most of her designs, it's mid-century inspired, though the colours, the depiction of the vintage ceramics and the flora give it something of a Scandinavian feel too. The effect is further enhanced by its striking turquoise, pale blue and black colour scheme. The tea towel costs £10. Buy it online |

It's quite tiny so unless you're also a very small person this might be best left to the children. It's a great present for someone small and when we first saw this it immediately bought back memories of stamping around in puddles and playing in the rain. Get one for a young person you know (or just buy one yourself) from the V&A website for £15. |

It's perfect for lazy summer days, bbqs and picnics in the park when all you want to do is enjoy the great outdoors and the rare moments of sunshine we get in good old Blighty. This dress has echoes of 1970s styles and wearing it you can almost feel yourself stepping into a time machine and being back at a festival at the time. It's also a massive bargain for this time of year when maxi dresses are flooding out of every high street shop. Get yours from New Look for only £24.99 in a range of colours. |
