Tobacco Shift Dress from Miss Selfridge Petites

Posted on | 1 Comment

Tobaccodress

This Autumn/Winter season's mainstream fashion seems to have taken influence from a wide variety of retro looks, some designers with more success than others. Miss Selfridge seem to be on a winning streak, especially when it comes to sixties dress design.

This Tobacco Shift Dress from their Petites range has unmistakeable sixties inspiration, providing a perfect minidress for the colder months. The sleeveless a-line shape, peter pan collar and tuxedo detailing are all pitch perfect for the decade. It's the unusual tobacco shade, however, that's won us over, providing a less seen vintage shade that's irresistible.

Get it now from Miss Selfridge for £40.

Classic tweed pea coat by Pretty Green

Posted on | Leave a comment

Pretty

I can take or leave Liam Gallagher's Pretty Green label, a range that mixes fairly low-end logo-clad t-shirts with highly-priced items that often don't justify the hefty ticket price. Like this Pretty Green tweed pea coat for example.

On the face of it, a nice twist on a 60s-inspired look, made from what's described as a 'luxurious tweed' in a light brown, throwing in a wide lapel, two fronted pockets, three-button cuffs and a paisley print lining.

It's a smart item, that's for sure. But is it a £375 item? That's between you and your wallet.
