Blossom Print Dress from Wallis
If the 1960s in fashion was all about daring colour injections, the seventies interpretation of that trend brought with it an altogether more muted use of prints and shades.

Sienna Black Platform Peep Toe Shoes from Topshop
Some styles never date and go on being reinvented season after season – these Platform Peep Toe Shoes from Topshop are one such style.
This latest incarnation comes in classic shiny black leather with a whopping 5.5 inch heel, somewhat mitigated by the platform sole. The peep toe adds to the pin-up vibe and leg lengthening appeal - a perfect accompaniment to the Autumn/Winter season's pencil skirts starting to appear in the shops.
In addition to black, there are metallic silver and champagne colour options, and a pink pair with black polka dots.
The shoes cost £62 from Topshop – check them out on the website.
