John Lewis modernist-style Penelope Task Lamp
We've featured a few of the Kaiser idell modernist reissue lamps of late, but even the smallest of the range is a bit hefty in price. So thank goodness for the John Lewis Penelope Task Lamp.
Deco Lady Earrings from Dorothy Perkins
When looking back on twentieth century fashion history, there are few more iconic images than that of the 1920s flapper girl. While achieving the look can be difficult to carry off for most occasions, a nod to the style can be achieved with ease thanks to these Deco Lady Earrings from Dorothy Perkins.
The design features a flapper girl image, complete with the art deco references associated with the era, from the Louise Brooks-esque hairstyle to the fan detailing of her headpiece. In cream and gold, the luxuriousness of art deco design is captured in a fun yet delicate pair of studs.
They're now available from Dorothy Perkins for £8.50.
Bordeaux Slingbacks from Monsoon
It's a rare occasion when the mainstream high street shops bring us items with retro looks stretching further back than the 1950s, but once in a while a rare gem will sneak through.

Beaded Flapper Dress from ASOS SALON
When thinking of pre-war 20th century fashion, perhaps the most iconic trend in womenswear was flapper style, taking a daring new edge into the mainstream. With most high street interpretations leaning on often costumey fringed dresses, this Beaded Flapper Dress from ASOS SALON is miles ahead of the pack.
Taken from their vintage inspired SALON range, this twenties styled piece takes inspiration from Art Deco structure in the lines and shapes of both the beading pattern and dress cut. With a drop waist and loose fit to create the androgyny, the daring aspect of flapper style is taken care of by a cut out back and luxurious beading throughout.
It's available now from ASOS online for £180.
Embellished Vest Dress from Miss Selfridge
While seventies fashion is the order of the day for most of this Summer's high street designs, there's still plenty of alternative vintage influence available for those willing to do some digging. This Embellished Vest Dress from Miss Selfridge offers an unmistakeable flapper style that doesn't fall for the usual clichés.
The drop waisted, loose dress shape is ideal for creating that twenties and thirties androgynous silhouette. With a vest-sleeve to provide some daring flesh on show, the nude pink tone is an ideal base for the sparkling embellishment that takes art deco lines as its inspiration.
