Heart Duffle Coat from Miss Selfridge

Heartduffle

Classic Paddington Bear-a-like duffle coats are always a worthwhile choice of retro outerwear, providing practicality and classic style all at once. There's always room for some variety, though, and with vintage looks like this Heart Duffle Coat from Miss Selfridge there's no compromise.

The peach-orange shade has an instantly mid-sixties look, along with the shortened a-line cut that's girly and dollish enough for a mod inspired style. The addition of faux fur in a rich cream shade adds some luxury to the coat, belying its High Street price tag, while bell sleeves are a cute touch.

Cyber wall lamp by Litecraft

Litecraft lamp

With its distinctive looks, this Cyber wall lamp could easily fit into a 1970s interior. However, it's a contemporary design, courtesy of Litecraft, and something of a bargain too. 

The lamp is made from a glass shade with an orange surround. Made from plastic, the colour, material and shape of the surround all help to create the retro look. The wall fitting is chrome. On looks alone, it's an interesting piece, but the lamp also promises to offer soft and ambient lighting. 

Sounds worth trying out for the price of only £12.90.
