While cameo jewellery remains a much-loved classic for a variety of vintage-inspired looks, there's always room for a twist on the classics. This Goddess Skull Cameo Jewellery from Kitsch-tique lends a cheeky gothic edge, resulting in pieces ideal for a rocker look.

The ring and necklace both feature the skull cameo, reminiscent of the rockabilly and psychobilly trends' darker take on vintage looks. With a little bit of kitschy, tiki style, these pieces add some welcome wit to timeless costume jewels.

The ring and necklace cost £8 and £10 respectively.

Leopard Bayswater Bag by Mulberry

Leopard print has by now reached near saturation as a retro print choice, but thanks to its lasting appeal across many decades it's going nowhere. While some leopard print items may end up looking more Bet Lynch than Bettie Page (no bad thing, in our opinion), there are plenty which retain that higher end classic look.

This Leopard version of the Bayswater Bag by Mulberry has an undeniable air of luxury about it, with use of a calf hair fabric and sparing gold-look hardware. Making it easier to wear leopard print with everything, the bag is oversized enough to make a big impression, without looking overworn like many dresses and coats can.

It's available in the UK from My Wardrobe, at Mulberry's usual high cost – this time £1650.

With one of the keenest eyes for retro chic out there, Heartbreaker Fashion has become something of a favourite of ours. This Paradise Dress is the perfect example of why, with stunning vintage inspired looks, great construction and a reasonably affordable price tag.

Shown here in the Katrina print fabric, the dress has an irresistible 50s pin-up vibe, combining a Hollywood glamour with Hawaiin take on exotica. The result is a dress that clings that curves to create a bombshell silhouette, while the sarong ties at the waist and shoulder mean this is a lot easier to wear than it looks.

Get it now from Heartbreaker Fashion online for $90.
