Timeless Twist Court Shoes

Olishoes
Some of the most striking styles of the 1950s were the most daring and risqué, and that extends beyond the clothing to accessories like these Timeless Twist Court Shoes.

In a kitschy pastel blue that's instantly fifties-look, these sassy high heels have great vintage inspiration all over, from the crossed fabric vamp to the curvy ankle. With a daringly high heel, these provide the perfect addition to an amped up pin-up girl look, without looking too over the top.

Get them online now from Oli for £39.

Two-Tone Jacket Dress by Black Halo

Black halo
It's not often a great looking dress is instantly recognisable as perfect for the office and cocktail hour too, but this Black Halo number is just that. With retro credentials thanks to its chic fifties style points, this is a dress that's well worth investing in.

The two in one style is given an extra twist thank to the sharp jacket-style collar detailing on the bodice. A high waisted pencil skirt in classic black gives this a high end edge that's perfect for the most pressing office occasions, and the sassy silhouette means this can be vamped up for evenings easily.

Available online now from Bluefly for $207.

DC Comics cosmetics girl bag

Dc-comics-girl-cosmetic-bag

Take this image of a crying woman as a reminder to carry a make-up bag with you at all times, just in case you need to unexpectedly touch-up your look. Handy then that she adorns an eye catching cosmetics bag design that's inspired by DC Comics. The graphic look is a striking change from the girlie floral designs so often used for such bags and is backed with a superhero inspired bronze material. 

If you want some good news to help soothe a broken heart, this bag measures a substantial 18cm by just over 10cm so has plenty of room to carry about your cosmetics (and emotional baggage?). 

The bag costs just $8 from the Fred Flare website
