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.

Flourishing Fashions! Best Looks This Spring Season!

Feature: Kinarino.jp

We adore Spring and all the flower power prints it brings! It is quite simply a immensely upbeat season and inherently the fashions seem to reflect this tremendously buoyant mood. The 70s boho spirit seems to live on in beautiful beatnik dresses, houses are decorated from ceiling to floor in bunches of daffodils and you can't look anywhere without spotting some floral embroidery adorning accessory.

Styling

Feature: RMV SugarhillBoutique Faye Floral Midi Shirt Dress & Elfin-dreams.tumblr.com

This striking floral midi shirt dress makes a fab feature to your Spring/Summer wardrobe with its eye popping print and low-key, laid-back fit. Get yours here at: http://www.rockmyvintage.co.uk/dresses/new-in/sugarhill-boutique-faye-floral-midi-shirt-dress.htm . We'd pair this with this stunning fairy-tale floral flick as it is one of our favourite make up looks to try for the upcoming warmer months. We think it'll create the ultimate sixties chick vibe and achieve a subtle yet striking effect that'll enhance your overall look!

Feature: RMV Flower Necklace and Blue Floral Maxi Dress

This beautiful blue floral maxi dress is a must have this season with its sexy side slit and gorgeous paisley print. For a flawless finish team this with our delicate flower necklace by Louche. The white shade will really pop and come into its own when contrasted against a navy blue backdrop.

Accessorises

Not only does the flower crown rule supreme for wedding season, it has inspired flower clusters in the form of anklets now for those Bohemia brides amongst us. Another cool accessory to be seen for Spring are huge blooming baskets on bicycles! When the sun is shining get riding! Accessorising your bicycle with these decorative flower features creates a uber-cool vintage look. Go on...get those bikes out of the shed!

Full On Flapper Vs A Glint of Gatsby

We just can't get enough of flapper fashion so thought we'd share with you some cool styling tips and ideas to really get into the swing of things when it comes to 1920s style! It's always fun to really go all out and mimic the authentic art deco look but you can create the same glamour and elegance by simply popping on a tassel necklace or coveting geometric shaped accessories.

Its fun to experiment and push the boundaries with your look but here we have simply pepped up a low key, stylish evening outfit with some glamorous accessories. The trick here is to choose one dramatic statement piece like the chevron clutch and choose items that compliment it. You can create a 20s look without going over the top and it looks great to mix some Gatsby glamour with a modern contemporary outfit.

Here we have toyed with the idea of mixing old and new by recreating a flapper girl look with this stunning pink and white dress but have selected on trend colours and silhouettes. The bright fuchsia and orange hue bring this dress up to date, along with its figure hugging fit but the textures, crystals and embellishments reflect the Hollywood glamour of the 1920s.

Clashing Prints

It's time to break the fashion rules, rewrite the rule book and forget everything you thought you knew about fashion no-goes! This spring is all about clashing crazy prints, busy patterns and clever colour blocking. What's great about this trend is that there is a endless interesting array of combinations and patterns to experiment with.

Oliva Palemo looks blooming marvellous in her gorgeous floral trousers and killer leopard print heels... brave and classy all rolled into one - she has totally nailed this look. The trick with this style is to choose your main focal print and style the accessories around this. We have paired our fantastic Floral Noor Midi Dress (Only £52) with our Woven Plaited Belt for a relaxed, bohemian look that just exudes effortless style. We then contrasted this busy print with a leopard print shoe, as the earthy shades still tie the two styles together. The look is finished off with a neutral Nude Clutch Bag (Now £42) and Gold Triangle Earrings(£15).

Why not try playing pic n mix with prints? Experiment for less in our end of season sale at: http://www.rockmyvintage.co.uk/sale.htm
