With 1970s floaty chiffon and a retro print, this horse print tunic from ASOS is a top with a difference.

The black horse pattern is eye catching and stylish and with a elegant pussybow tie, it's the perfect outfit to be worn over leggins (as shown) or with black shorts or under a tunic dress. The colour is everywhere this season and light enough to be worn through the summer.

The billowy chiffon sleeves are flattering and fetching and you can get your own from ASOS for £35.

Fearne Cotton 1960-style Vintage Silk Dress at Very

Fearne_cotton

I think it's fair to say that Fearne Cotton is a love/hate kind of person. Loved by the media, PRs and fashion labels, she's perhaps not so popular with the wider public. Anyway, she's certainly loved by Very, fronted its ad campaign and now designed a vintage-inspired collection for the company, which includes this Vintage Silk Dress at Very.

As you might have guessed, this is inspired by the 1960s, a Peter Pan collar dress in a dip-dye fabric that produces a contrasting pink and white finish, completed with a silk lining for the inside.

Available online, you can grab one in most sizes for £55.

Deco-style dressing table from Alexander and Pearl

Deco-mirrored-venetian-dressing-table-2809-p
This dressing table from Alexander and Pearl isn't the first we've featured that takes inspiration from the Art Deco style and I'm sure it won't be the last. The period works really well for a piece of furniture that's meant to evoke glamour. 

This piece certainly is glamorous, with its mirrored finish and curved shape. The mirror folds down flat, giving it a practical use as a table too when not required for make-up touch-ups. There are two concealed drawers too, perfect for stashing away beauty secrets. 

The table costs £625 with the matching stool costing an additional £275.

Antique Style Wooden Hat Stand

Antique-style-wooden-hat-stand-5235-p 
I suspect that most of our readers are more casual in their attire, but if you are the sort of city gent who still wears a bowler hat then you may want to buy this Antique Style Wooden Hat Stand.

The wooden stand will keep your hat in perfect condition and display it in its full glory, when you aren’t wearing it. It would probably work just as well for ladies' hats, either wide brimmed summer hats or sophisticated cloches.

It costs a reasonable £22, so you could buy a few if you are a real hat lover. Buy it online at Rockett St George
