Denim Button Dress from Oasis

Denimdress

Denim is a fabric that famously made its way into fashion from workwear in the 1950s, but it was a later decade that truly embraced it throughout fashion. The seventies took the classic blue stonewash and used in everything from jackets to dresses, like this retro Button Through Dress from Oasis.

The pinafore style of the dress is simple yet structured, creating a silhouette that wears well with such a stiff material. With a mid-length hemline, tailored waist and thick straps, the seventies style points are easy to see throughout.

It's available now from Oasis for £55.

Antique brass desk spotlight

Antique-brass-desk-spotlight-3795-p
We've featured a couple lights in this style recently: now this antique brass desk spotlight offers the same look with a twist. 

The twist is revealed in the name. While this looks like a free standing floor model, in fact it measures just 45cm high making it more suitable to a table than making a grand lighting statement. The scale aside, it's got that vintage look, with the requisite tripod legs, and offers an interesting look for your desk. 

The price is £220.
