We highlighted the mid century poppy range from Dotcomgiftshop a little while ago, but were happy to spot the addition of a weekend bag to the collection. And it's not the only one – there are four new cheerfully patterned bags to pick from.

Hip homewares: Orla Kiely Flower vases
Orla Kiely's homeware range is full of desirable items. But these new flower vases are great for adding a splash of retro style and colour – and that's even before you add any blooms.
Poppy Print Dress by Red Herring
When a mainstream fifties look is the inspiration, it's most often florals that modern designers look to, eschewing the more daring niche looks of rockabilly and pin-up styles from the era. This Poppy Print Dress by Red Herring manages the sweetness of a floral fifties look without being too saccharine.
The use of red and black is a classic combination that adds a tougher edge than many natural floral prints, with the poppies retaining the retro feel. The dress has a simple but effective cut, with capped sleeves and a high waistline allowing a swing style skirt to balance the silhouette.
It's available now from Debenhams for £35.
Poppy Print Circle Skirt from Dorothy Perkins
Much of the fifties looks available from reproduction brands and the high street of late have erred on the side of structural, vampish looks. If rockabilly style isn't for you, a more traditionally fifties look can be achieved with items like this Poppy Print Skirt from Dorothy Perkins.
The circle skirt style is given a softer edge with the use of a flowing cotton fabric, eschewing the heavily structured alternatives. The poppy print utilises the floral trend without falling for cliché, and adds impact with its colour palette too. Finished with a long hemline, this skirt is ideal for a more conservative and classic fifties inspired wardrobe.
It's available now from Dorothy Perkins for £30.
