Transition with ease when you go for gold!

Gold, always believe in your soul...and the power of a marvellous metallic to take you through two seasons!

Glittering Gold Goddess made simple with this Gold Fringed Flapper

With sale season upon us, it is difficult to know how to spend your cash. However, here at RMV we have always had firm faith in the shiny stuff and here's why....

Anything with a metallic sheen screams party season and when it comes to getting your glad rags on it doesn't matter if your metal is pastel or pewter so you can shimmy through the Winter in a blush rose as long as it brings some bling!

Think shimmering pastels for Summer Sheen turning into Ice Queen of Cool

This beauty is straight from our 1920s Dresses Collection

What's more, with RSVP season still in full swing, you will get plenty of wear out of it now as best dressed guest. Then, just switch it up, change your accessories, add a fake fur stole and you are hot to trot when the heat fizzles out.

Stick with a classic silver sheen

and this Summer sizzler becomes another one of your eye-catching Winter Party Dresses

You see, your old man was right, invest in gold - it will never depreciate in value!

Big shout out to all the metallic magpies xx

Get The Look! 1920s

Fearne Cotton is the picture of elegance in this form fitting, 1920s style flapper dress! We adore this take on the Gatsby glamour trend! Proving that 'vintage' need not be old fashioned, we love how she has combined this stunning embellished dress with a slick of shocking red lipstick and a pretty chain-mail clutch bag.

The best looks are often influenced by the past, yet we think it's key to give them a modern edge. If you're a fan of Fearne's fabulous flapper look then why not don this demure Long Sleeved Flapper Dress and style with a sleek chignon? Pop on some crystal studded earrings and combine with dark, smokey eye makeup for added drama and finesse.

Uh oh...here comes trouble! Get Peaky Blinder style...

We're super proud of our Birmingham heritage and what could be better than the magnificent show Peaky Blinders returning to our screens tonight at 9pm!

The inspiration for the show is fascinating and you can read more about it here. The original Brummie boys, the 'Peakys' were local gangsters from a century ago. These violent criminals would sew razor blades into the peak of their flat caps to use as weapons and had a distinctive sartorial style that set them apart from the rest! The girlfriends were described as wearing ornate pearls, a goudy silk handkerchief covering their throat and showing off a full fringe obscuring the forehead, we can only imagine what they would have looked like in one of our dresses...

We really think that Polly and Grace's dark vs light twenties styles really rock the gothic-luxe trend on the catwalks this season, why not take a look at our gothic 1920s style headbands and chokers for a more sultry flapper vibe?

We love the way this piece of history has inspired one of the most gripping shows we've ever seen...so excited!

Get in the mood with our flapper dress collection, art deco jewellery and flapper headbands for your next night in with the Peaky boys...

Think Unique: Alternative Bridesmaid Ideas For Your Wedding Day

Yes we know the bride is the babe of the ball but we shouldn't forget the best mates! The bridesmaids will want to strut their stuff too, they are on display ALL DAY…so why not give them something to show off? Styling your bridesmaids in vintage style will give you a completely unique bridal party. It’s one of the most memorable days of your whole entire life, so go ahead and make it uber-special by creating something no one else will have…

We know some of you love your girls to be all matchy-matchy, but if your dreams are made of rainbows, why not try different colours together? You can vary by style and even by fabric.

What a cool alternative idea for bridesmaids! (via rocknrollbride.com)

We totally love the idea of teaming your bridesmaids up with similar style dresses in different colours! Take a look at our lace dresses below...

You could even try different styles, same colour. This makes it super easy to cater for all your girls, by letting them wear a dress to suit their shape!

Pink your thing? Our dusky tones make the perfect colour coordinates!

Does a theme take your fancy? We've got all the bridesmaid dresses you need, from 1920s flapper styles to 1960s go-go girl. If you don’t feel at one with an era…why not follow one of the hottest trends of the season and mix your spots and stripes, patterns and prints?

We adore this pattern combo! (via modernwedding.com.au)

Try mixing and matching our vintage style prints for a wedding as unique as the dresses themselves!

Not a fan of pattern fusion, why not flaunt some florals?

(via rockmywedding.co.uk)

Our floral dresses are bound to make your gals feel fabulous!

If the bridal gown search has left you panic stricken then why not leave the creativity to your leading ladies and let them choose their own dresses? Decide on your theme, colour or pattern and send them on a treasure hunt treat…sorted. That once reluctant bridesmaid is now totally buzzing in her new fancy frock she found herself!

Liberation and Fashion - The Danish Girl

The excitement has been building for one of the most stylish films of the year...well we think so anyway! The Danish Girl is a powerful biopic of the transgender artist Lili Elbe, beautifully set in Copenhagen and Paris between 1926 and 1931, a time when fashion was undergoing a radical change – think Coco Chanel – ooh la la! You know we love the 1920s and 30s, all those flapper dresses and floral frocks!

A mesmerising story of liberation, not only for the movie’s main character, but for the progression of fashion throughout the film. Every outfit is put together with intricate attention and detail, with the hair styled to perfection, complimenting all of the equally opulent interior props and set.

We're already in love with Lili's gorgeous cropped hair! What could be better than dressing up for the movies, perhaps with some of our art deco jewellery, and drinking in this vintage feast for the eyes? The sumptuous hues and romantic sets are so easy to fall in love with.

Oh the florals, the lace, the fringing! We think our style steal picks below capture the delicate craft and tones of the fabulous gowns and decor in the film....
