Guide To Surviving The Party Season In Style

 It might seem a little early but we think it helps to be a little prepared. Whatever your plans are this party season, we've got a few tips to help you steal the spotlight this year...

Plan A Killer Party Look

It's seriously time to throw out that tired LBD and plan a killer party outfit that'll knock the socks off everyone you know.  Preferably miles in advance so you're not struggling and rushing around that crucial week before the festivities begin...

Grey Beaded Flapper Dress

Awesome Accessorising

Strapped for cash but want to make a statement? Easy, simply pop on a striking art deco accessory like this stylish sunburst necklace to add a dash of dazzle to your look.

Send Your Invites Out On Time

An essential part of planning any party is remembering to invite your guests, so our advice is don't leave it until the last minute. Being vintage enthusiasts we recommend going the whole hog and writing them out by hand.  A facebook group simply won't cut it in our book. 

Create The Ultimate Playlist

 Nothing gets you in the party mood, quite like a banging tune! Crank up the volume and put on all the cheesy classics to help pre-plan a showstopper. 

Have A Backup

When the moment comes, there's nothing worse than realising you've got the dress code of the evening totally wrong - after all who the heck knows what smart casual REALLY means! So we'd be prepared and cover both options. Don't worry there's plenty of smart, yet sassy styles on sale at RMV to save the day.

New Season Styles

Most of us are mourning the loss of the hot weather as the Summer comes to a close but here at RMV we are well and truly looking forward to next season! From vibrant colours and sequins to bold stripes there will be no shortage of style this Autumn/Winter.

Fancy injecting some class into your closet? Style a statement midi dress  with some killer heels for a strong statement look. After all there is no better style staple than the midi dress to keep you cutely covered when the temperature drops. We'd pair with bold accessories to add a pop of colour to the ensemble and team with glitzy metallic jewellery to keep things fresh.

Come Fly With Me - Holiday Essientials

For those lucky souls jetting off on exotically-hot holidays clothes shopping can become a complete nightmare! For a start, practically none of us own anything remotely suitable for a sizzling Summer temperatures having no need for strappy tees or hot pants in our temperamental English climate. Therefore we've come up with the perfect solution. Go for something sheer like this awesome Embroidered Midi Dress to combat both conflicting weather conditions. The sheer fabric is an ideal cover up on British soil but will keep you cool when strutting your stuff abroad. Pair with some clunky bright wedges to pep up the pastel fabric and sparkly accessories to dress it up at appropriately at night.

Rock Your Polka Dots

From 1940s tea dresses, to flirty fifties proms, to 70s jumpsuits and 90s dresses, the humble polka dot has stayed with us throughout the eras to add an instant dose of chic to any outfit. The spotty print is flirty and fun, and will go with absolutely anything.

Most recently polka dots have been appearing on the street style radar, with fashion icon Olivia Palermo giving them a modern day update by teaming her spotty shirt with mirrored sunglasses and a super smart clutch.

Wanna get the look? Well we've got you sorted! The Sugarhill Boutique Gemma Random Spot Dress has a real 1950s feel, with its nipped in waist and modest sleeves. Our favourite detail, however, is the cool wrap over skirt which gives a sophisticated edge.

This versatile style is work appropriate, and is chic enough to work at your next big night out too - a wardrobe winner for sure!

Leopard Print.. To The Max!

As far as we're concerned, leopard is a staple piece in every woman's wardrobe!

Give yourself a colourful update by going for a flouro hue in the classic print. We're taking style notes from Katy Perry and Rachel Bilson who have both rocked this trend on the runway.

We think our Darling Eddie Dress is the perfect way to get the look at a fraction of the price - team it with chunky heels and gold accessories for an effortless 1970s style.

Top 5... Bonfire Sparklers!

To celebrate all things sparkling as an ode to Bonfire Night, we've picked out our top five shimmering, shiniest, spangliest pieces! It's the season to stand out and there's no better way than to whack on some show stopping accessories. Heads, prepare to turn!

Apple bobbing is the game of choice for many an autumnal party, but we'll happily keep dry if we had our paws on this marvellous vintage style clutch. The metallic fabric gives some added shimmer, along with the diamante embellished clasp - swoon!

02. 1920s Style Pearl Bracelet

Every girl loves pearls, and this darling bracelet has been jazzed up 1920s style with a crystal encrusted detail, just to draw in a little more attention! 

03. Vintage Dior Oval Earrings

We just love stumbling across designer vintage items, and these vintage Dior oval earrings are truly special. Embellished with clear crystals surrounding a cool textured stone, they're certainly a statement piece ready to give your lobes a little shimmer!

If you want to work some bling into your look without over-doing it, a hair accessory is ideal! We adore this easy to wear vintage hair slide, it's got rainbow coated crystals which pick up different colours in the light and give a constant glimmer of jewel tones. Whether you've got your hair up or down, pop this on and you'll feel every bit the party princess.

Collars are bang on trend this season, the blinger the better! We adore this gold collar necklace, it's uber versatile and so easy to rock from day to night.
