Feathers are an element of fashion that has fallen out of popular use, but that only means it can help to make more of a statement in vintage looks. Easiest worn in the form of accessories, these Bead Feather Clips are a great buy.

From Urban Outfitters, the various colours utilise a variety of feathers to great effect. Creating birds of paradise style looks, the green version conjures up a classically Burlesque peacock feather effect. The finishing touches in the form of beading give a glam touch to a clip that's versatile enough to apply to almost every hairstyle.

Guaranteed to cause a stampede on the high street next week is Topshop’s latest collaboration, Barbara Hulanicki for Topshop. Like previous collaborators, the Biba founder has worked with Topshop’s in-house designers to produce a collection for a generation too young to have shopped in her iconic store.

The collection, which includes tops, skirts, dresses and swimwear, features illustrations by Hulanicki. The best items are probably those that feature her sketches of various chic ladies, which includes a scarf, shopper bag, blouse, skirt and wide-brimmed hat. The print on the dress above is also used on many items, including a pair of wide-legged trousers that would take lots of confidence to carry off.

The collection goes on sale on 28 April with a free poster is being offered with online purchases. A preview of the collection can be seen on the Topshop website now so you can decide in advance which pieces you want to scramble for (or not as the case may be) on Tuesday.

Finding jackets that are suitable for both formal and casual occasions, but still retain a retro vibe, can be a tall order. This Velveteen Cropped Jacket from Plasticland fits the bill perfectly, though, with an unusual cut and great finishing.

The cropped look, combined with volume in the sleeves gives this a great forties or fifties look, depending on how you wear it. Perfect to combine with a formal dress or equally easy to dress down with some capri pants, it's an all year round jacket thanks to the velveteen fabric and dark colour.
