Sadly, I don’t have £70 to spend on a beach towel, but if I did the Möve Pucci Floral Beach Towel is the one I would buy.
As you would expect from a Pucci print, the design involves swirling shapes and flowers, creating a psychedelic pattern. Perfect for taking on a retro retreat to Palm Springs!
The towel measures 100cm by 180cm, is made from 100% cotton/velours and as already mentioned, costs £70. It is available to buy from Dot Maison.
There seems to be quite a market for old bus signs, but the prices are often rather on the high side. However Eden and Eden have a small selection of old British bus signs reasonable prices.
There is a choice of two numbers, 460 and 611 (I’ve no idea where these services ran) and a Private sign. They cost $38 for the number signs and $68 for the Private sign and are supplied framed. Eden and Eden is based in San Francisco, which is good if you in that area, but if you in UK, it may seem strange to be buying British signs in the USA.
Visit the Eden and Eden website for further details.
Yes, we know, another limited edition Lomo, but as this one packs a designer label, we just had to feature the Lomo x Colette special edition Diana F+ camera.
Yes, this one packs the name of the uber-trendy Parisian boutique (on the lens if you're looking for it), as well as a distinctive spotty blue and white top section. Aside from that, this is effectively a typical 60s-style Diana with oversized flash that takes colourful photos on 120 film.
And as a bonus, you get the newly-published The Dianalogues No. 1: Through A Woman’s Lens book, and the More True Tales & Short Stories hardback along with a designer box and a host of accessories to help you in your photographic endeavours. Only available from Lomo and Colette, it sells for around £89.
It's coming up to Spring, and every year that means trench coats in all their forms, both from designers and the high street. Michael Kors has taken a simple and chic version for his Spring/Summer collection.
Part of his MICHAEL diffusion line, this coral code channels a mod take on the trench. With a girlish, vibrant shade coupled with a simplistic cut, this has a great sixties edge. The A-line silhouette works well both with and without the belt, while the lack of overdone detailing keeps it simple but effective.
Get this coat online from Nordstrom for $128.
Pinup and cheesecake models go hand in hand with props, especially those that are impractical but great looking. Parasols, particularly those with Americana style or Oriental designs are a staple of cheesecake style modeling, and a fantastic accessory.

They're available online from My Baby Jo from just $10 apiece.
