One of Warehouse’s new collections is the “Vintage Boutique” range. Sadly, the collection isn’t really vintage, just designs inspired by the styles often found in a vintage store, what they are describing as “thrift shop chic”.
Dresses are priced between £55 and £70 and included floral tea dresses and drop-waist styles. There are also some 1920s-inspired accessories such as a feather headband (£16) and a frame bag (£25).
To shop the collection, visit the Warehouse website.
Katherine Bree specialises in handcrafted jewellery that references Britain’s heritage. Amongst her current one-off designs is this beautiful 1930s Button Necklace.
A 1930s glass button forms the centrepiece of the necklace, with the rest of the necklace made up from coloured stones that evoke the art deco period. The necklace measures 42cm with an 8cm drop, and costs £179.95. There is also a 1930s Button Bracelet for sale priced £89.95.

The dress is available from the Tarantula online shop for $90.
I needn’t tell all you Retro afficionados how classic tattoos go hand in hand with rockabilly style, so I’ll simply recommend you check out these fantastic fashions by Betsey Johnson instead.

If you fall in the favourable camp, you can get yours from the Betsey Johnson online shop with prices from $150.
Tweed is a Great British classic as far as statement fabrics go. Like no other, the material defines the entire look of a garment for better or for worse. Ollie & Nic‘s new tweed ranges for Autumn make the most of the classic fabric to create great looking retro accessories.

Retro band t-shirts are pretty hot property among those cool kids we all wanna be, but even better than something that shouts your taste from the rooftops is something a little more subtle.
