Catwalkqueen

The finishing touches make all the difference to any retro look, with footwear playing a huge part in the transformation. These Catwalk Queen Heels from ModCloth are oozing with seventies chic, providing a simple but effective pair of vintage inspired shoes.

The rich purple has all the decadence you'd want from a disco-era look, made here from a vegan-friendly suede fabric. The stacked platform and thick heel create a very seventies outline, giving you towering height, while the ankle strap takes care of any potential wobbles while you're up there.

They're now available from ModCloth for $39.99.

Parade print by Emily Forgot

Parade_print_b_w

It's an illustration that screams the '60s but in fact this Parade print by Emily Forgot is a contemporary piece.

The image depicts some well-heeled and well-booted feet with the monochrome colour scheme adding to its style. In fact the title and the style of the illustration suggests it could be inspired by somewhere like the King's Road in the sixties with the peacocks coming out on parade.

If you like this piece, take a look at the website for more of Emily's work, including some pieces that look like they've come out of the more surreal side of that decade. 

You can buy the print at A3 size for £30 or at A1 size for £105.
