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...



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.

Gatsby Glamour


The ultra-glamorous roaring twenties trend is having a revival and seeing its way onto the red carpet. After all, nothing screams glamour quite like the Great Gatsby! From striking, art deco designs to overstated bejewelled ball gowns this glitzy trend is certainly a firm fashion favourite.


Channel this lavish look and invest in a fabulous flapper or striking embellished dress such as our Silver Gatsby Dress or our 1930s Beaded Maxi Dress. When our day to day life can seem so dressed down, it 's refreshing to really doll up for a special occasion and go to town with sparkles, sequins and glitter! Elegant yet extravagant this trend will certainly get you noticed.

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...

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....
