That 70's look

When new stock comes in to us at Thunderegg its like Christmas and your birthday rolled into one. This results in seriously high levels of excitement, lots of dressing up fun and wondering how you lived before you owned any of these items. Yep, we really like new stock days here at Thunderegg.

Our latest box of happiness came from the lovely people over at Glamorous and has stolen our hearts with its 70's inspired apparel.

Now, we know, vintage can be daunting at the best of times and the 70's is a completely different kettle of fish for anyone but trust us when we say your grandma's carpet has never looked so chic!

With a mixture of rich browns, soft creams with pops of bright colours, in a range of seriously cool textures and patterns, neutrals have never looked so dreamy.

Here are some of our favourite pieces and how we've styled them.

We've styled the Brown Striped Shift Dress  (£24.50) with a cute little cropped roll neck jumper (£15.50), also available in purple in store, to create this cute ensemble and added the Little Moose Dangling Sloth Brooch (£24.95) and Collectif's Solene sunglasses in beige  (£10.00) to complete the look.



Glam is on top form with their bright colours and vivid patterns this season so pair them with something a little more subtle to make the most of these gorgeous prints. We've put this simple wear-with-absolutely-everything high neck black semi sheer top (£16.00) with the seriously cute floral corduroy button skirt and who can resist this cutie of a brooch? The Little Lockhart Brooch (£19.95) is also available to buy online

Purple Floral Corduroy Pinafore Dress (£24.00)

Or why not try a pinafore? We've been loving this version in the same fabric as the button down skirt. 






Channel your inner flower child in the Red Cloud Print Shift Dress (£23.00) perfect with a pair of boots and a backpack for a shopping trip around town then slip on a pair of wedges and some chunky jewelry to head out for drinks with friends at night. What's not to love? 




We absolutely adore the stunning print of this shirt, so much so we have it in a kimono and dress version too available in store! We're loving mixing prints and textures at the moment so we paired it here with the Tan Suedette Mini Skirt (£29.95) and accessorized with a new LYDC Envelope Clutch in Nude Pink (£14.50).
  .


If this trend seems daunting at first don't worry, ease into the trend with some accessories, we've used the new LYDC Vintage style satchel (£17.00) and thrown in some Little Moose for good measure! The Don't Be Square' Double Sided Triangle Necklace in Blue (£19.95) is also available online and in store in a variety of different colours.


See what we mean by the wear-with-absolutely-everything high neck black semi sheer top? We teamed it up with this gorgeous Black & Orange Floral Cropped Jumpsuit (£29.95) and the Erstwilder "Flying with Fifi" Necklace (£24.00) to take your wardrobe from summer to autumn with no fuss.
Sunglasses: Solene sunglasses in beige  (£10.00)
Bag: 
Retro Tan Brown Faux Leather Mini (£14.50)



Bat wing? Check.Eye catching print? Check. Oversized Sunnies? Check. Seems like the summer nights checklist is sorted in one go with this little number. Head over to our website or bob in store to come and take a peek for yourself!


All of these outfits and more are available online at our website Thunderegg.co.uk  or in store at our Oldham Street and Afflecks stores. You can even shop this edit by follow this link to our Super Seventies Selection.


Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Vintage Thunderegg (Collectif has arrived!)

*In our best BBC war-time announcer voice*


Collectif's newest collection of vintage inspired gorgeous-ness is currently gracing the rails here at Thunderegg and its definitely got us in the mood for lazy days and old records in the park with a glass (read: jug) of pimms in hand. 

After looking at pictures of all the stunning ladies who headed to pinupinthepark this past weekend we can't help but feel a bit jealous we couldn't join them. And if you couldn't either, not to worry! You can still rock the vintage inspired range and have your own pinup weekend. 


£60.00
Go all out with this 40's/ 50's inspired Dolores Doll Atomic Flamingo Print Dress 

Or if you aren't brave enough to go the whole way, ease into the trend with a top or skirt. We love 
the Alice T-Shirt in red (because you can never go wrong with a good striped top) and the Red Nani Plain Swing Skirt
£19.00


£47.00
Complete the look with the perfect pair of sunglasses (a new addition to the Collectif range) why not try the Solene Sunglasses in Red
£10.00
This is the Thunderegg team signing off and wishing you a marvelous day!
