If you’re on the look-out for some unusual period jewellery (by that we mean something no-one else will have), it’s worth taking a look at the selection at Polkadot, which is an online store for designer vintage accessories.

Earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings dating from the 1920s to the 1990s, covering high-end labels, along with some cheaper mass market novelties. Prices start from just £15 and go up to £650 and as an example of what’s on offer, featured above is a 1960s red and white Lucite Bangle, which retails for £25 and a 1950s Christian Dior Necklace, which sells for £290.

For details of both of these and to check out the full range, visit the website.

Think these boots look vintage? Well, that’s because these Tecnica Moon Boots are a vintage design – dating back to 1971.

I don’t know if we’ll see more snow this year, but even if we don’t, you’ll still have some all-weather vintage footwear in your wardrobe for next year. Made from  super lightweight materials, they’re water-resistant and will guarantee your feet will be very warm. And of course, there’s that authentic 70s-style writing.

Available in a number of colour schemes and styles, prices average at about £75.

I don’t think I have actually worn wellies since being a child, but if you are going have a pair why not have designer retro pair? These Emilio Pucci print wellies will certainly get you noticed on a rainy day.

In pink, with a multi-coloured flower print design, they have a clear waterproof rubber outer covering with patterned lining, and a chunky pink sole. As they are Pucci they are a bit dearer than your average wellie at £95.

I’m not exactly sure what they would go with, but they would certainly keep your feet dry and the pattern is really groovy.
