If you're anything like us, then you're ready to step away from
fashions love affair with flouncy florals. It's time to
toughen things up and add a playful pinup edge
with Valerie, the newest collection to hit TOPSHOP.COM and one
that's definitely not for the wallflowers
Giving 1950s pinup styling a rockabilly twist,
Valerie’s punky edge is the perfect way to
update your wardrobe. A world away from the whimsical looks that
have dominated the collections, Valerie gives you the chance to
heap on the attitude as well as the
eyeliner. Here are our picks from this week's
update.
Think Americana checks tucked into high
waisted denim, tattoo print tea-dresses
given a rock 'n' roll feel with cinched waists and
clashing accessories, animal print
scarves, oversized polka dot bows and colourful
corsages worn all at once; the new Valerie
collection is the only way of adding a provocative edge to your
summer looks.
For some serious pin-up appeal team a
fitted gingham jacket with cute
high-waisted shorts clashed with serious footwear
in the style of dominatrix-esque ankle boots. Starlet heart
shaped sunnies add that 50s twist while the kiss-me-quick
lip bag is bound to get you noticed. Now all you need are some cute
curls, layers of eyeliner and you’re ready to paint the town
red. Just be careful not to totter over in those towering
platforms!
All in one – check; sweetheart
neckline – check; gingham print -
check; bow details – check! Mixing all of
summer's key styles in one, this black and white check
playsuit is shaping up to be our must-have hit of the
season.
Not been seduced by the Valerie bug just yet? Then a sweet
corsage is the easiest way of pinning down this season's
newest look. Clip to your dress, belt, bag…wherever and bring
your outfit bang up to date.
…ok maybe not. But definitely made for showing
off! With their eye-catching colour palette and
cut-away swirl sides, these stunning
leather platforms are the perfect pick-me-up
purchase if you need a little end of the month treat.
