Jumpin' Jack Flash

Possibly one of the greatest Rolling Stone tracks, Jumpin' Jack Flash was at the top spot this time in 1968.

It would seem it is also a favourite of the band, having been played during every tour since its release!  Enjoy this fantastic clip with intro from John Lennon in sign language!

Live performance with intro from John Lennon!

The Rolling Stones and their ladies were big hitters in the style stakes, from the glam androgyny of Keith Richards and Brian Jones in printed silks and satins, to the vividly printed, rock 'n' roll chick style of Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithful, their looks are an inspiration to many of us...

Tell Me About It Stud

Possibly the most watched and imitated movie for most 80s little girls, Grease is a gloriously dizzying mix of music, fashion and teenage sexuality. Our number 1 song this week is 'You're the One That I Want', which nabbed the top spot for Olivia Newton John and John Travolta for 9 weeks from 17th June 1978, and is a wonderful opportunity for a bit of nostalgia...

You're the One That I Want

Grease, set in the 50s, shows such a wonderful collection of individual styles. From Sandy's sweet and innocent turned Vamp, to the Pink Ladies who all have a quirky style of their own; pencil skirts, cropped capri pants, full skirts, polka dots, leather trousers and prom dresses, all continue to feature in our wardrobes and put smiles on our faces...

Yellow Cotton Shirt Dress, UK 12

Polka Dot Sports Jacket, UK 10-12

Not forgetting that staple item, the neck scarf... Rock Candy Vintage Scarves

Although not our featured song this week, it would be criminal not to have a moment of Frenchy time (with totally trend setting pink hair!) with one of the most memorable movie moments... Enjoy
