Laura Ashley Elite Picnic Hamper
If you're planning to dine al fresco you really will have everything you could possibly need in this very chic Elite Picnic Hamper from Laura Ashley.
The Keynes Burgundy pattern and muted green colour create that fifties flavour and in keeping with the original hampers of the period, everything you could possibly need for a picnic is fitted ingeniously within. In addition to plates, wineglasses, napkins and cutlery for four, the hamper has an integrated cool box, bread knife, bottle opener, salt and pepper and chopping board. It also comes with a thermos flask and cups and best of all, a shot flask in case the evening cools and you need a nip of something warming.
The hamper costs £149.99 – find out more here.
Red ceramic kitchen clock
This red ceramic kitchen clock is another retro design courtesy of the high street.
With its asymmetric frame, and striking red finish, it's a design that looks towards the 1950s. Couple that with the minimal clock-face markings and it definitely appears as if it was designed quite a few years before 2011.
A high street price for it too: the clock costs £30.

Navy Bunting cardigan by Laura Ashley
Nothing screams springtime and celebrations quite like bunting. The Brits have used any excuse to adorn surfaces left, right & centre with bunting since the 17th century and the recent resurgence of vintage-style street parties has brought it back into the spotlight once again.
How apt then that Laura Ashley, one of the great stalwarts of British fashion, have chosen to adorn this cardigan with bunting embroidery, and just in time for 29th April. It's made of 100% cotton to guard against the cool evening air whilst staying firmly in the party spirit.
