7-inch Vinyl bookends at Urban Outfitters

Vinyl

Sadly you can guarantee which singles you'll get, but that uniqueness is one of the selling points of these 7-inch Vinyl bookends at Urban Outfitters.

As you can see, these are original vintage 45s, presumably the ones no-one really wants (don't expect some rare soul for example), moulded into a 'perfect bookend shape' to support your book collection.

Available online, they retail for £20.

Deco-inspired Alto wallpaper at Urban Outfitters

Nouveau paper

Here's a Art Deco-inspired design updated for the twenty-first century with the Alto wallpaper from Urban Outfitters

The design, from a company called Temparer, uses a distinctive Deco pattern, which is reproduced in a bright red colour against powder blue. The actual definition of wallpaper has been updated too: it comes with self-adhesive backing to make it easy to apply and also to take down when you get a bit bored of it. 

The paper comes in rolls of 10m long for £78 each.

Sailor Mini Skirt by Silence + Noise

Sailorskirt

With nautical fodder all over the high street, there's plenty of options for a variety of retro looks in ladieswear. While much of the trend focuses on an eighties interpretation, this Silence + Noise skirt taps into a very sixties feeling instead.

With a classic miniskirt shape, the high waist and risqué hemline create an instant 60s silhouette. White stripe accents at the hemline and pocket add a subtle nautical feeling to the block navy, with a small gold button accent too.

The skirt is available now from Urban Outfitters for £35.

Sailor Playsuit by Cooperative

Cooperative

As playsuits branch out beyond eighties influence, many high street styles are taking in a greater variety of retro influences. This Sailor Playsuit by boutique brand Cooperative is available now from Urban Outfitters and lends influence from a casual sixties aesthetic.

The combination of top and shorts into one outfit provides a modern interpretation of a relaxed retro chic, with Parisian influence playing a large part. The city shorts style combined with a loose fitting long sleeved top plays with the sixties injection of a boyish look, working best with a closer fit that shown in this picture.

Get it online from Urban Outfitters for £52.

Midcentury-style Lulu chair at Urban Outfitters

Urban_chair

The US-version of Urban Outfitters has some tasty retro design on its virtual racks, like this midcentury-style Lulu chair, which is only available online.

Available in three colourways, the chair has those cool straight lines, a solid wood frame, hardwood legs (finished with a walnut stain), tufted-back cushions and judging by the amount of cushioning, plenty of comfort too.

As I said, exclusively online (so no need to look for it round your local store), it sells for $425.
