Spring/Summer 2012 brings 1960′s groovy love!

This season sees a revival of everything 1960′s, whether it be in television productions like ‘We’ll take Manhattan’ to 60′s inspired clothing.  This trend is going to be massive this Spring/Summer, think shift dress, high wedged heels and beehive hair. Here at Yumi we have it all covered for you to look fabulously 60′s with a modern updated twist and better still it’s all new in, so you can get these items now and be ahead of this Spring trend. These dresses are incredibly versatile think opaque tights and knee high boots now and bare legs and heels in summer, either way you’ll be rocking the 60′s vibe!
