Some 60s-like style on the high street, just in time for the rapidly-approaching party season – this bow encrusted tiered dress from Oasis.
The tiering is at the bottom of this black shift-style dress, with a contrasting bow on the front, around the collar.
The whole thing is made of a silk and cotton mix and is available instore or online – and can be yours for £65.

What do you think of the Lyle & Scott knitwear? Personally I’m always put off by the size of the necks – although this Lyle & Scott limited edition tipped V-neck sweater seems to address that.
Apart from the smaller neck, this 100% merino wool has a trim to waist, neck and wrists, the vintage golden eagle logo on the chest and a choice of colours. But best of all, it is limited edition, with just 1,000 units worldwide, so a bit of exclusivity too.
Price is £75.

Some toys barely last a year, others might last a little longer, but few have the staying power of the Fisher Price Chatter Telephone.
First introduced in 1961, this surreal telephone does everything a small child wants – it moves, makes a noise as it is pulled along (not to mention wobbling its eyes) and rings as the numbers are dialled.
Buy it for your kids, then put it away for your grandchildren – because it’s likely to be still entertaining the little ‘uns in another 40 years. It retails for £14.99.
If you can’t afford to kit your living room out with a load of mid-century classics, there is an alternative – a picture of them for the wall.
That’s what you get with this Arabesque print from Qora & Shai. Available as black on white or white on black, you can a very eye-catching image of a very cool living space, printed to a high standard onto canvas and stretched onto wood frames.
The 40 x 20-inch canvas is treated to protect it against UV rays and it’s ready to hang when it arrives. All you have to do is pay the 130 Euro asking price, which is around £92.

Everyone know what an Anglepoise lamp looks like – it’s been around since 1932, becoming a design classic along the way. Although whether the Anglepoise 50 will get that sort of acclaim remains to be seen.
It’s designed by Anthony Dickens, with the company hoping this bold new look will appeal to a younger market. The Anglepoise 50 is based on the original, but with the angle frozen at 50 degrees (hence the name), almost like a fossil if you like. Why 50 degrees? The perfect angle for working apparently.
It’s available in a range of colours, including the red and orange above. You can pre-order one now from the Anglepoise site for £39.50.

And thanks to Simon for the tip off.
We’re all for recycling and if the results are as stylish as this Fendango cushion, all the better.
It is handmade from vintage fabric remnants – the fabric used here offering a great 70s, almost Biba-esque look to our living room. And of course, you’re doing a little bit for the environment.
Sized at 39cm x 39cm, it retails for £24.99.
