Another old trainer is back the new season, specifically the Adidas Samba trainers in a bold blue finish.
Not just blue, this is a blue suede finish for the classic early 60s sports shoe, complete with contrast blue toe, white detailing and a blue and white tongue, all sat on a grey vulcanised rubber sole.
Ideal for work or play, you can pre-order now for £50.
Piero Fornasetti's Tema e Variazioni range has previously been highlighted on plates and on wallpaper but perhaps this is the most surreal application yet. His designs are based around variations on a 19th century image of a woman. Here she appears as a print in the base of each of the handmade glasses. Each glass has a different print, potentially quite unsettling as you finish off your drink!
Like his other products, these glasses don't come cheap. A set of three costs £136.
Buy them from the Couture Lab website
Swedish company Rotor has designed a range of eye-catching ceramics that capture the bold op-art style.

They can be bought online from the Scandinavian Design Center.
Are these posters for The Sun taking irony a step too far?
Dating back to the 1970s, the poster is an original advertisement for the tabloid. They feature an image of a scantily dressed woman and a fully clothed man, with the words “How to Keep the Magic in Your Marriage!”
The Sun certainly wouldn’t have been amongst my first suggestions on the path to marital bliss and I’m not too sure about the seller’s suggestion of the poster as a wedding gift, but if you can find a place in your home for this piece of kitsch, it costs £150 from Pedlars.
Forties style is the perfect choice for pairing demure chic and sex appeal, and this Slip Dress by Stop Staring! has the balance down pat.
Made from a soft stretchy lycra blend, it hangs perfectly over curves, while the cleverly tucked bodice adds sleek style. Hinting at a retro lingerie look with the lace neckline detail, this dress manages to look daring while still covering up.

It’s time to eek as much as possible out of the summer while it lasts, and there’s no better way than a retro playsuit. While there’s been plenty of eighties editions on the high street, this fifties style might be more up your street.
The Sweetheart Sunsuit from Friday On My Mind is exclusive to Dollydagger and comes in two colours. Both the red and navy versions feature this polka dot print, and cutely kitsch styling. A sweetheart neckline, halter and loose fit shorts make this easy to wear and perfect for a curvy 50s look.
