Velvet Princess Coat by Sara Berman

Princesscoat

Finding the perfect piece of clothing that manages to incorporate both practicality and killer style can be  near impossible task at times, especially without remortgaging your house to pay for it. This Velvet Trimmed Princess Coat by Sara Berman may not be the cheapest, but such a rare find could well be worth the extra spend.

The coat's classic princess cut taps into a British heritage feel, with velvet trim at the pockets and cuffs adding a timeless luxury. Some sixties-style modernity is added by the vivid red shade and unusually shaped hood addition, a feature that gives this coat an added element of practical design.

It's available in the UK from Urban Outfitters for £195.

Polaroid Photo Album at Urban Outfitters

Pol

Yes, we know it's a bit gimmicky, but the Polaroid Photo Album at Urban Outfitters is a useful little gimmick too.

Of course, it's a photo album shaped like a vintage Polaroid camera. Open it up and you'll find 18 double-sided pages, each fitting photos sized at 10 x 15 inches. Not sure if that's the 'Polaroid', size I suspect not, but that would perhaps make the product a little too niche.

Anyway, it's available online if you want somewhere to keep your snaps, available for just £14.

Stripe Bustier Bikini from Urban Outfitters

Stripebustierbikini

The 1970s was undoubtedly a decade of indulgent luxury, with the birth of the disco era and the popularity of decadent holidays in the Riviera sunshine. With that comes a striking fashion aesthetic that's captured well in this Stripe Bustier Bikini from Urban Outfitters.

The two piece manages to capture a contrasting hyper-femininity at the same time as creating a structural silhouette, capturing that later seventies love of daring shapes. The mix of stripe directions highlights the seaming structure, while the lines are kept clean and simple enough to carry the design.

It's available now from Urban Outfitters UK for £35.

Tiny Tim book light – a miniature Anglepoise-style lamp

Tiny tim

They've already made an oversized Anglepoise, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before someone thought of shrinking it too. That's the case with this Tiny Tim book light

When it says tiny, it means tiny: the lamp is designed to clip onto a book to help you read. Otherwise it's a pretty good similarity – complete with adjustable head and arm so you can get your spotlight just where you want it. 

Available in either black or red, this book light costs £10.

You can only buy this one online from Urban Outfitters for £30.00.
