This weeks number 1 revisit takes us to 1991 with a song and movie that I am sure you all have a nostalgic soft spot for. The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss) was a number 1 for Cher for 5 weeks from late April 1991, and came from the soundtrack of her 1990 film Mermaids.
Surprisingly The Shoop Shoop Song was Cher's first solo UK number 1, with her last chart topping UK hit being the well known duet with hubby Sonny 'I Got You Babe'.
Originally recorded in 1964 by Betty Everett, it has since been covered many times around the world by many notable artists including The Searchers, The Hollies, Sandy Shaw, Lulu, The Supremes and Aretha Franklin, to name but a few, but if you are a child of the late 70s or 80s like myself then I am sure it is the international hit from Cher that sticks out most in your mind and brings back a wave of nostalgia that makes you want to watch Cher and co (an adorable young Christina Ricci's debut movie!) style it out in fab 60s get up in Mermaids! If you haven't time for the whole film then have a little watch of the single video below, with various little film clips included there are a number of great 60s outfits on show:

To recreate the look from our current Rock Candy collection we have first off opted for a fab monochrome shift dress:
To complete the outfit team with a monochrome head scarf in contrasting pattern:
Perhaps if you fancy a little more colour then this 60s Jacquard shift is the one for you, in pastel blue it is also right on trend for the current season!
Accessorize with this fab white patent handbag and you are all set to bust out your best swinging 60s moves and Shoop!
I love Mermaids!! Going to fish it out over the weekend - brilliant film choice Rock Candy.xx
