While the number one cutesy charm in retro jewellery at the moment seems to be cupcakes of all shapes and sizes, there's another sweet treat that has caught our eye. From online jewellery retailers Kitsch-tique these Gingerbread Man Jewellery pieces have all the kitsch appeal of cupcake necklaces, without falling foul of cliché.

Available as a pair of simple stud earrings or a small pendant necklace, the jewels are made from plastic buttons in an edible shade of gingerbread brown. Thanks to their simple and light materials, they're a bit of a bargain to boot.

Get them online from Kitsch-tique at £4.50 for the necklace or £3 for the earrings.

The ideal choice of outerwear for either a sharp work environment or a special social event, this is one of few designer pieces that will really belong in (and out of) your wardrobe for years to come.

With a surprising eye for fifties detail from the budget retailer, these matelot-fronted shorts hit the mark with a 50s version of sailor-inspired style.
