Block Heel Sandals from Wallis

Blocksandal

For seventies chic there's nothing that quite lifts an outfit like footwear inspired by the era, providing an instant transformation for everything from flares to maxi dresses. That doesn't mean every pair has to be a dangerously stacked platform, though, as proven by these seventies-look Block Heel Sandals from Wallis.

The use of a thick-heeled, wood effect sole helps to create a mainstream retro chic instantly, with patent leather uppers in a classic burnt orange have that playful decadence of disco influence down pat. The chunky straps and t-bar are an ideal post-sixties style point, providing practicality and comfort at the same time.

Get yours from Wallis for £45.

Beaded Flapper Dress from ASOS SALON

Asossalonflapper

When thinking of pre-war 20th century fashion, perhaps the most iconic trend in womenswear was flapper style, taking a daring new edge into the mainstream. With most high street interpretations leaning on often costumey fringed dresses, this Beaded Flapper Dress from ASOS SALON is miles ahead of the pack.

Taken from their vintage inspired SALON range, this twenties styled piece takes inspiration from Art Deco structure in the lines and shapes of both the beading pattern and dress cut. With a drop waist and loose fit to create the androgyny, the daring aspect of flapper style is taken care of by a cut out back and luxurious beading throughout.

It's available now from ASOS online for £180.

Louise Body “Paper Tiles” Wallpaper

Posted on | Leave a comment

If you hanker for authentic victorian tiles but lack the time and inclination to install them, this Paper Tiles wallpaper from British designer Louise Body could be the solution.

A clever trompe l'oeil print creates the effect of vintage aged tiles without the hassle of cement and grout and the paper used is tough enough to be used in place of ceramics. The design incorporates original Victorian tiles but with the addition of hand-drawn flowers for a contemporary twist.

The tiles in the design measure 17.5 x 17.5cm

This design is one of ten, all printed on to hard-wearing paper sourced from managed forests. The paper costs £20 a metre.
