| Coulson Macleod Decades Prints Posted: 10 Jan 2011 02:57 PM PST
There are three design in the series, representing the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Each one features the decade name with quotations, film titles, car models, key figures, fashion and music trends and inventions arranged around it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Sixties print is my favourite, with psychedelia, peace, love and Mary Quant mini skirts topping the Seventies mixture of disco, funk and punk references. The Eighties print contains too many things that I'm not ready to feel nostalgic for (Thatcher, yuppies, Eddie Murphy and shoulder pads to name a few), but if you remember that decade more fondly then it might appeal. The Decades prints cost £35 unframed or £65 for the print in a white wood frame. Buy online from the Coulson Macleod website.       |
| Billie Leather Shoulder Bag by Chloé Posted: 10 Jan 2011 10:30 AM PST Satchels are undeniably mainstream bag designers' latest love affair, leaning heavily on vintage inspiration in most cases. Pieces like this Billie Shoulder Bag by ChloĆ© offer a chic reinterpretation of 20th century ideas, without losing that key retro appeal. Made from panels of tan leather and heritage-look linen fabric, the sharp structure of this bag is accented by black trim. The resulting lines and shape are reminiscent of a classic sixties satchel, while the unconventional use of fabrics adds an interesting new dimension. It's available now in the UK for £875 from Net-a-Porter. Find out more from the website

| Posted: 10 Jan 2011 10:25 AM PST Now that the madness of January sales is almost over, interest can turn to what the high street's new lines have to offer in vintage inspiration. While there's no sign of much that's new just yet, some classic pieces like this 60s Ponte Dress from Oasis are worthy of attention. In a striking and rich red shade, the colour carries a basic sixties look dress that's appealingly simple. The empire cut a-line skirt creates a great retro silhouette, while buttons and a peter pan collar give some cute details to balance the daringly short hemline. In a short sleeve, this dress is an ideal choice to transition out of your winter wardrobe. Get it now from Oasis for £45. Find out more from the website    |
