Vintage 1960s Wool Coat from Spanish Moss Vintage

76fb_1_2Lord knows vintage fashion is hard enough to lay your hands on, never mind finding something in the right size. It’s not often I’ve come across a fantastic coat or jacket in an XS size, but lo and behold…

This fantastic, vintage 1960s coat is certainly a show stopper in turquoise. According to the sellers, it’s also fully lined and in excellent condition. What more could a girl ask for?

It’s available from Spanish Moss Vintage at their eBay shop for $152 (at the time of writing). But hurry, there’s only one day left.

Lara Bohinc Lunar Eclipse necklace

Lara
I’ve had my eye on Lara Bohinc’s
jewellery for a while after seeing it featured in lots of fashion
magazines. What attracted me is the great 70s style, something
straight out of Abigail’s Party, and I really love this Lunar Eclipse
necklace
.

In fact, the lunar style wouldn’t have
looked out of place on Princess Leia with its futuristic space age style. It is made up of a snake chains in silver, that swirl round to
form circles at the front of the necklace, with a clip fastening sits
on the base of the neck.

Great design in jewellery obviously doesn’t come
cheap so at £380 you might have to save up for this one.

Rain parade 1920s-fashion mini umbrellas

Rainparade

Fans of the Avengers might recall those 1920s ceramic heads that sat in Steed’s living room – and similar heads can be found on top of these Rain Parade mini umbrellas.

Part novelty, part functional item, this is an everyday umbrella you can stick in your bag or protection from a shower. But would you really want to hide something like this away? Especially when the wrapped-up umbrella has boots, that head and a covering that doubles up as clothing for the ‘doll’.

The four above are all available, all selling for $30 (around £15).
