DC Comics cosmetics girl bag

Posted on 30th July 2009 | 1 Comment

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

Retro Film Illustrations Prints

I Love Retro are selling these Retro Film Illustration Prints, which make an interesting change from the standard film posters.

There are six films to choose from; Taxi Driver, To Kill a Mockingbird, Don’ Look Now, The Shining, Harold and Maude and Buffalo 66 (although the last one is more cult than retro, unless the 90s already count as retro).

The prints measure 11 inches by 16 and cost £24.95 each from I Love Retro.

Grey Silk Jumpsuit from Miss Selfridge

Posted on 29th July 2009 | Leave a comment

Jumpsuits are back in a big way, and they're most certainly a divisive piece of fashion fare. This Grey Silk version from Miss Selfridge is firmly rooted in an early eighties look, and provides the perfect something for lovers of the vintage versions.

Unlike many of the high street jumpsuit styles, this one keeps it classic and understated, with draping and cut creating shape. A high waist, pretty gold button accents and billowing bodice give a relaxed yet sharp look, ideal for a high class 80s look that eschews the clichés.

Get it now at Miss Selfridge for £60.
