Walkerskelter

With the oversized sunglasses trend lasting many a summer season in the mainstream, there's bound to be more than a few retro lovers looking for a new influence. Thankfully there are some options from more inventive designer brands available.

These Helter Skelter Sunglasses by Karen Walker are an ideal choice, retaining an unmistakeable sixties look in a decidedly different way. The smaller, rounded frames have an almost beatnik style, with a tortoiseshell design on the frames to retain that classic appeal.

Available in the UK from Urban Outfitters, the pair will set you back £145.

Retro TV mousemat

More retro kitsch courtesy of Urban Outfitters and this retro TV mouse mat. 

Printed with an image of an old telly, complete with dials and mock-wood encasing, it helps you remember what we used to spend our lives looking at before computer screens and the onset of the digital age. It certainly brings back some fond memories for me of thumping the telly, desperately trying to get a picture. 

This slice of nostalgia costs £6

Wood

It's made (partly) of wood and it's a turmtable, making this the Wood Turntable at Urban Outfitters.

Of course, it's not all wood – there's some plastic too, not to mention the electrics to make the thing tick. Switch it on and you can playback good old-fashioned vinyl at 33/45/78, as well as accessing AM/FM radio, all through the built-in speakers or headphones plugged into the jack.

It retails online for $88. If you like the look, but want a deck for using with your PC, there's also a USB version available for $128.
