Heart Duffle Coat from Miss Selfridge

Heartduffle

Classic Paddington Bear-a-like duffle coats are always a worthwhile choice of retro outerwear, providing practicality and classic style all at once. There's always room for some variety, though, and with vintage looks like this Heart Duffle Coat from Miss Selfridge there's no compromise.

The peach-orange shade has an instantly mid-sixties look, along with the shortened a-line cut that's girly and dollish enough for a mod inspired style. The addition of faux fur in a rich cream shade adds some luxury to the coat, belying its High Street price tag, while bell sleeves are a cute touch.

Get it now from Miss Selfridge for £70.

Petit_heartsunglass_pink

With summer fading into a memory for another year, it's sadly time to put the sunglasses away. What better way to keep them in style than with Jonathan Adler's heart sunglasses case

Since the 1962 film, heart sunglasses will forever be associated with Lolita and they still frequently crop up on the catwalk. The motif on this case is immaculately crafted using needlepoint and uses a Lolita-style colour scheme too – red frames against a bubblegum pink background. 

The case costs £30.

Heart Print Mini Shorts from ModCloth

Heartsshorts

Shorts were, not long ago, the sole property of beachwear sections and the hottest of summer months. Happily, the availability of cute pairs on our high streets and online has extended far beyond that, providing retro skirt alternatives all year round.

These From the Bottoms of Our Hearts shorts by ModCloth are a kitschy and cute pair, ideal for getting a fifties or sixties influenced look thanks to the heart print and colour palette. The structure, too, leans on a retro look thanks to a high waist and slightly widened leg.

They're available online from ModCloth now for $34.99.

Cream Heart Print Dress from Miss Selfridge

Heartprint

With the Spring finally in full flow (some of the time), light dresses and skirts are finally a tempting prospect from the high street rails. Miss Selfridge's new collections feature a surprising number of options for retro gals, like this Heart Print Dress with a decidedly forties flavour.

The tea dress shape has come back into favour with mainstream fashion of late, and this version is simple without being drab. The rich cream colour is an ideal shade to back a heart and bird print that, while not strictly vintage, clearly derives inspiration from a retro aesthetic.

The dress is available from Miss Selfridge now for £38.

Tattoo cushions from Dwell

Dwell tattoo cushions

We've seen retro-style tattoos adorning everything from rugs to dish cloths, as well as the body, and it continues with these tattoo cushions from Dwell

Both cushions use typical tattoo motifs: one shows a pierced heart with a blank banner while the other is decorated with a classic rose dedicated to 'Mom'. The slightly annoying Americanism aside, these cushions are a subtler take on the trend with the illustrations marked out in simple red and black against the plain white of the cotton. 

Each cushion costs £19.95.
