The 50s is my favourite era for fashion inspiration, in its intensification of the feminine silhouette, a celebration of new colours and fabrics and a sense of luxury instilled after the war. A couture culture was heightened by prominent designers; Dior's nipped in waists and full skirts and Chanel's straight suited looks really inspired an ease of glamour. We still rely heavily on the signature styles of the era, but we also have a desire for vintage pieces that we can combine into our modern  looks and claim as our own. One of my vintage relics is my Lucite box bag, with an intricate lace surrounding and carved patterned lid. If you don't mind the contents of your bag being on show then it's a very pretty accessory to carry round! I've stayed somewhat true to the 50s with a pencil skirt, high heels and Hawaiian style shirt - hope you enjoy :) x

Looking forward to wearing my jumpers and getting snug for Autumn (dreaming of a pastel coat), though as the sun is still shining, I might as well make the most of it! So I've gone for an extra bright, colourful outfit this week, with these pretty lemon yellow peep-toe heels. I love to match pastel, light shades so I've teamed the shoes with a pale pink dog-tooth skirt and mint nails. Hope you enjoy the sun :).
