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

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!

Upcoming S/S Trends You Can Work Now

Spring/Summer may seem like a long way off but here are the key retro trends you should have on your radar!

Embellished Dresses

Sequins, sparkles, glitter you name it, it'll be popping up everywhere next season! So why not get ahead of the fashion game and grab a gorgeous embellished dress for  your next fancy occasion? If this all seems a bit OTT then pop on a  simple flapper headband or a beaded clutch bag to try out the odd bit of ornamentation. 

Pastels

Whether it's wearing candy-coloured shades in your hair or selecting saccharine filters on your phone, pastels are still going strong! Don a sugary shade in a long-sleeved flapper  dress for a winter-appropriate stab at the style. 

Fringed Dresses

Fringing is making a fabulous come back for all your Gatsby themed balls or nights out with the girls.  Nothing says sass quite like a fringed dress that sways when you sashay or strut! Love it!

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.

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. 

Flapper Style For The Bleak Months

Yes...we know the weather is truly grim outside but don't fret, you can still have fun experimenting with some wicked flapper fashion for those nights out with the girls. There are endless possibilities when it comes to styling sequins, lace and beads and whilst the embellishment trend is still going strong you might as well brighten up the bleak months by donning something sparkly! Feel free to flip through our gorgeous flapper collection for some shimmery inspiration this season...

1930s

We just love Ginger Rogers dress here in Vivacious Lady 1938! Feminine, sheer fabrics were all the rage and with the invention of the bias cut draping was born! Dresses became elegant and fabric hung in sinuous folds and stretched to fit the contours of the body.

Deanna Durbin looks the picture of innocence, in this beautiful floral wrap dress. Padded shoulders, silhouettes, clinched in waists and A line skirts were popular in the 1940s.

It was all about looking elegant yet smart, sexy yet refined.  Prints were big, shoulders

broad and skirts long and sleek.

no further than our Black Floral Tea Dress, with its cute fitted skirt and buttoned up waist.

1970s

Featuring: Donyale Luna (demeterclarc.com)

Maxi dresses, crazy prints and flare shapes were all the craze in the 70s, and this 

circular hippy chick dress worn by Donyale Luna for Vogue was no exception!  

Fashion in this era was flamboyant, eccentric and romantic with exaggerated features.

Our boho Floral Jumpsuit with its slinky wrap around body, flared trousers and bold 

print nail this look perfectly.
