With over 40 years of making iconic gear, Yves Saint Laurent certainly knows their fashion. They know how to make a buck too, as this great – but expensive – bag shows.
This small but beautiful leather bag with chain link handle
will set you back £720.00. For your money you get a chain link handle, envelope flap, popper fastening with pockets that sit on the lining.
This isn’t so much a bag, but more an investment. It’s hardly ever going to go out of style is it?
The ’50s, as we all know, is ‘in’. Of course, that’s not something to be celebrated as such. However, what this does mean is that we fans of all things retro can plunder the racks for all the treasures whilst they’re around.
One such ’50 inspired treat is this cracking little Eucalyptus Crop Jacket. It’s a little bit Marilyn, a little bit art-house cinema and all style!
While the fifties pin-up style continues to grow in popularity you might want a more discerning take on the decade. That’s easy with a more clean cut style like this Eleanor dress by Monsoon.
With a stunning high-necked, full skirted cut, the cap sleeves complete a great silhouette. The floral print completes the mood in a purple hue fit for all year round.
Get yours from Monsoon for £75.
Since 1969, Sesame Street has been a favourite of children and adults alike across the world. One of the original and best Jim Henson creations, Cookie Monster, has gone beyond the confines of kids TV and become a full blown television icon.
This River Island t-shirt features the baked goods lover in all his glory, on a fitted, 100% cotton shirt.
It’s available online or in shops for £16.99.
A good looking blouse is an essential in every wardrobe, be it for stylish workwear or a more formal going out look. This Piped Blouse by John Lewis’s own line JL is a great retro choice for every occasion.
With touches of influence from both 1920s art deco style and forties post-war looks in the colour scheme and shape, the structured formal style is given some softness by the chiffon’s flowing texture.
It’s available online or in John Lewis department stores for £39.
The sixties inspired shift dress is one fashion item that keeps coming back in a huge range of guises, but somehow never gets old. While many modern takes veer into the mundane, this great Soo Lee Floral Print Dress ticks all the right boxes.
With a little added shape around the waist, the dress is easy to wear and looks every bit the vintage piece with a muted floral pattern that’s wearable all year round. The high neck and button detail contrast perfectly with the daring hem that made 60s fashion so famous.
It’s available now from Oli for £45.
