A little bit of pin-up girl style on the high street, and something that could easily become a winter wardrobe staple, all this Topshop pencil skirt needs is a pair of high heels and something simple on top, and you’re good to go.
It’s an affordable £35, and although it’s no longer available in all sizes on the website, unfortunately, you can still find it in store. We suppose a price drop in the January sales is too much to hope for, Topshop?

It’s been a while since we confiscated some Shoe Porn, but we thought these pink peep toes by Rene Caovilla fit the bill rather nicely. As Shoeperwoman noted, they have a real “boudoir” feel to them, and seem to be just begging to be worn with a silk negligee and… not much else.
Sadly, the 790 euro price tag precludes us from buying them, so we’ll just have to take them into custody instead. Don’t worry, we’ll look after them…

We have a feeling this may not be a popular opinion, but… we still kinda love these Tom Ford ‘Nikita’ sunglasses. They make a nice change from all of the bug-eye and aviator styles that’ve dominated the past few years (not that we don’t love those, too, mind you: The Fashion Police are sunglasses junkies), and they have a nice little retro twist to them, too, which is always appreciated round these here parts.

Sequined knickers aside, Topshop actually has some fabulous pieces of actual lingerie in stock at the moment: think longline bras, high-waisted knickers, lace corsets – lingerie with a vaguely retro feel that looks good, but, more importantly, will help create a nice, smooth line under your clothes and, in the case of the high-waisted knickers, provide a bit of stomach-control, too.
We’re particularly liking the current trend for longline bras, and like Topshop’s strapless, longline bustiers, which will be perfect under strapless dresses or bardot tops, meaning you don’t have to either show your bra straps or sacrifice your bra altogether if you want to wear certain styles.
These are all available at Topshop.com.

Bought your winter coat yet? If not, may we recommend this cocoon coat from Forever 21: not only is it a bargain at just $34.80, it’s very Jackie O – just add a pair of dark glasses and some elbow length gloves to keep your arms warm under those 3/4 sleeves for a chic, 60s look.

We love this Jil Sander dress. Know who’d look REALLY good in it, though?
Cruella de Ville! Awesome.

Well, we know what WE’RE going to be asking Father Christmas for this year:Christian Louboutin’s ‘Feticha’ pumps in red.
In the meantime, we’re confiscating this little bit of Shoe Porn. There are some perks to being The Fashion Police, after all…
We know what you're thinking: it's a 50s-style dress AND it has a bow, which makes it pretty much a shoo-in as far as The Fashion Police are concerned. But this is just too perfect not to show to you: it's part of Marks & Spencer's 125 collection, which is inspired by vintage designs from the brand's archive, and it's £55 from here.
We’ve been loving River Island’s line in summer tops lately, especially the three shown above, which have a bit of a retro feel to them. These are all fairly simple shapes, but they’ll be perfect for work, and an easy way to dress up a pair of jeans or pencil skirt. The two tops on the right and left of the picture are £29.99 each, while the one in the middle is, as you can see, reduced to £17. Not bad considering you’re also getting a belt, which you’ll be able to wear with other pieces, too.
Get them at River Island.
This is another item that falls firmly into the “in our dreams” category, but if we were in the habit of splashing out £220 at a time for swimwear,this Michael Kors one-piece would be residing somewhere near the top of our shopping lists.
Not to worry, though: the onepiece – and particularlt the retro-inspired onepiece – is back in a bog way this season, so we’re sure to see something similar on the high street very soon. And if money is no object, you can buy this one right now at ASOS.
