Denelli Living Kido sideboard

Kido sideboard

It's hard to identify the specific style that most influences the Kido sideboard from Denelli Living. Though it's a contemporary design, it manages to be a bit Deco and a bit space age. Whatever your opinion on this, its high gloss finish with silver circle motif on the doors is undeniably glamorous.  

Denelli Living have similar cabinets, wardrobes, nightstands and dressers available so you could carry the look across your whole bedroom. They also come in many other colours than white, including red, black and gray gloss, which could alter the feel of the piece completely. 

This sideboard costs £399.

She's depicted the sweaters in neat outlines, as if they are laid out for display, and has filled them in with bright colours and patterns. 

The cushion costs £40 but real enthusiasts will be pleased to hear the pattern is also available across a variety of homewares including coasters, place mats and aprons.

Jonathan Adler certainly doesn't hide his love of all things 70s, so it's no surprise that the Jonathan Adler Barbie Doll could have come kicking and screaming out of that decade.

A limited edition doll that should be on the shelves from September, it offers up a 70s-style hipster Barbie complete with mini dress in a David Hicks-inspired Adler fabric, along with some retro-styled mini accessories inspired by real interior pieces, specifically a side table, lamp, 3 funky-patterned vases, a lacquered tray, and a Barbie silhouette mirror.

If that's not enough for you, check out over the page for the Barbie Jonathan Adler room pack, which adds an Adler sofa, pillows, and blanket to the mix. You can pre-order now ahead of that September release, prices are $59.99 for the doll and accessories, $58.49 for the room pack.

It features the classic image by Milton Glaser, which has Dylan’s face in silhouette with his hair rendered in psychedelic glory.

The mat costs £6.99 (somewhat cheaper than original posters of this design cost) and can be bought online form VinMag.

Retro Checkered Pucker Dress by Rock Steady

Pucker dress

Fifties style reproductions can often veer towards the more risqué end of eveningwear. For a more wearable daytime look that still has all the sass of the era try this Pucker Dress by Rock Steady.

In a tweed style check the fabric ensures a high class office wear look, while the styling gives it a real femininity. Thin straps and a sweetheart neckline combine with a figure-hugging pencil skirt to give a classic 50s silhouette. The addition of a contrast trimmed peplum adds some extra flair for a Mad Men inspired style.

Get it online from Plasticland for $62.
