There is something quite charming about these short Pathé News Films from the 1950s.

In the first, model Carol Archer visits a boutique in Soho, London, where she tries on a variety of novelty ear-rings, including miniature champagne bottles, cuckoo clocks, and hands.
 

 
At London’s Dorchester Hotel, a young hairdresser, Vidal Sassoon shows off his latest “Torro” range of hair styles, which were inspired by Spain and its colorful culture.
 

 
And so to bed, with this selection of Victorian Nightwear, also from 1955.
