Ocelot Bustier Dress by D&G

Dgocelot
Dolce & Gabbana are a design house well known for their decadent style, creating fashion that is often over the top in its luxurious fabric and cut choices. This Ocelot Buster Dress is an ideal representation of that long standing reputation, with elements of classic designs from the brand itself.

The dress has a wiggle style cut and structure, creating a daringly sexy silhouette with its figure hugging fit and skinny straps. The ocelot print provides a chic twist to the sometimes tacky all-over leopard print, but treads that line between trashy and vampish in an ideal fifties-look style.

It's available from My Wardrobe in the UK now for £395.

Adidas Beckenbauer trainers back in white and Columbia blue finish

Beckenbauer

There was a reissue late last year, but the latest version of the classic Adidas Beckenbauer trainers (aka the Beckenbauer Allround) is definitely one for the summer months.

As you probably know, the Beckenbauer is named after the legendary Franz, designed back in 1982 as an all-round football and training shoe, before gaining added popularity as a casual and terrace classic.

This is a superb reissue in white with 'Columbia blue' detailing from the archives, with a leather upper and high impact training outsole, all finished off with gold branding and the Adidas in green on that sole. £59 is the pre-order price.

Cream Bow Heels from Marks and Spencer

Bowheels

White high heels have come to have a terrible reputation in recent years, but it only takes one shade of difference to turn a pair into a classic vintage-look option. These Demi Wedge Bow Heels from Marks and Spencer are a cutesy retro pair that will pair with a great variety of looks from fifties to eighties.

The fabric uppers take away any hint of tackiness that might be present with faux leather, while keeping them affordable. With a rich cream shade, the bow detail adds just enough retro kitsch, while a simple rounded toe shape keeps things classic. Sweet and stylish, this pair will see you through a very vintage Summer.

They're now available from Marks and Spencer for just £25.

Adidas Grand Slam trainers reissued in green canvas

Grandslam

It's a reissue of the Adidas Grand Slam trainers, although the colour and construction might be slightly controversial.

First seen in 1981, the Grand Slam is back in what's called a 'reverse' colourway, as well as featuring a canvas upper. I suspect we might have lost a few of you already. For those still in, the features and shape are generally intact, but with gold (not real gold obviously) used for the pegs in the sole.

The canvas upper comes in a 'twilight green' and the reissue is described as 'highly limited'. Pre-orders now being taken, £85 is the price.

Carson Polka Dot Dress from Boohoo

Bustierdress

Polka dot print is a fabric choice that is perenially associated with retro styles, particularly 50s looks. The second decade that favoured the famous spots was the 1980s, malking this Carson Bustier Dress from Boohoo an ideally cutesy eighties look.

The dress has the ideal structure for the era, too, with a ruffle skirt and spaghetti straps creating a great prom silhouette. The sweetheart neckline and fitted bodice finish off a look that's instantly retro, and versatile enough to dress up or down for day or night.

It's available from Boohoo now for just £20.

Rubik’s Cube Mug and Rubik’s Cube Coasters

Rub1

From being the must-have puzzler game of the 1980s, the Rubik's Cube more of an iconic design, lending its shape and colours to all manner of modern-day items. The Rubik's Cube Mug and Rubik's Cube Coasters are the most recent.

Both are on pre-order now, with the mug following the 'Cube' shape as closely as possible, but throwing in a 'special curved lip' so it's actually easy to drink out of. The coasters also ape the cube, stacking on top of each other to create a cube when not in use.

If you want one of either, the mug is £8.99, while the coasters are £12.99. See a shot of the coaster over the page.
