Foldover Playsuit from Fletcher by Lyell

Posted on | Leave a comment

Foldover

With plenty of bells and whistles (literally) on much of the nautical fodder on this Summer's high street, it can often be off putting for many fans of classic fashion. But there are ways to incorporate a nautical retro theme into your wardrobe without all the fuss, with pieces like this Foldover Playsuit from Fletcher by Lyell.

The well tailored fit gives the silhouette a figure-hugging fifties feeling, while the swooping back and structural neckline add a unique nautical flavour. The contrasting black colour and white piping provide angular shaping to the piece, creating a classic and lasting retro piece.

It's available now from Urban Outfitters UK for £48, exclusively online.

Danish Modern Love Seat at Urban Outfitters

Posted on | 2 Comments

Modern Love

While Urban Outfitters in the UK tends towards kitsch and fun homewares, the American store always seems to stock some more interesting furniture numbers, such as this so-called Danish Modern Love Seat. 

With a clear nod towards mid-century Scandinavian designs, it's a simple design with an exposed ash frame and a choice of either the yellow pictured or a green for your cushions. And it's certainly not going to go out of fashion as quickly as some of the novelty items on sale in the UK store. 

It's available exclusively online and, more annoyingly, only to customers in the USA. If those conditions apply to you, it will cost you $398.

Mobile phone a bit too 'new school' for you? The invest in something with a more retro feel – the Lego Walkie Talkie set.

Ok, there are limitations – you'll not be taken seriously in the boardroom for a start and of course, the 3,000ft range isn't going to be ideal when you need to make a long distance call. But or a bit of fun, you can't beat them.

In terms of features, both have volume controls, push-to-talk functions, a rear clip and that eye-catching Lego front. Powered by a couple of batteries, they sell for $28 from the US-version of Urban Outfitters, which now ships worldwide.
