Heraldic Print Shift from Matalan
Often when the high street attempts to interpret the more psychedelic vein of sixties fashion, the result can be an overblown and cartoonish image. With a more Autumnal colour palette and some simplistic styling, however, Matalan have managed to create a more chic image in this Heraldic Print Shift Dress.
B&Q 1960s space age-style Gizmo table lamps

George Nelson-like Solaris wall clock at Asda
Are you thinking what we're thinking? Yes, this Solaris wall clock at Asda has more than a passing resemblance to the midcentury George Nelson clock range. Specifically the George Nelson Ball Clock. But this is much, much cheaper.
For good reason too. This isn't a Nelson design, it lacks the character and colour for a start. Indeed, we suspect the materials aren't up to the official reissue either. 'Hi-shine silver metal' and plastic are mentioned in the product description.
But it certainly has the look and it has price very much on its side. Right now, this 35.5cm diameter clock is just £5 online. Battery extra of course.
1960s-style yellow shift dress by George at Asda
That early '60s Mad Men-style look doesn't have to cost a fortune, you can get something inspired by the era from your local supermarket. At least, you can with this 1960s-style yellow shift dress by George at Asda.
Very much inspired by pre-swinging sixties (by that, we mean the early years of the decade), this bold yellow number is perfect for spring and summer day days and nights, with detailing including a seam detail to the empire line, short sleeves, concealed side zip fastening and with Elastane in the cloth for a bit of extra comfort.
Sizes are already limited online, so if you don't see yours, drop into your local large Asda store. £16 is the price.
