Tattly: retro-inspired temporary tattoos
Tattly is a new venture launched by the blogger Swissmiss offering temporary tattoos for design-minded kids and the young at heart. The range includes plenty of retro subject matter for offer – though not the traditional hearts or roses you might expect.
She's worked with various different illustrators to produce the tattoos. Julia Rothman has supplied the digital watch design pictured, as well as a robot and a polaroid camera. Other designs include retro computer graphics and an old-fashioned microphone.
$5 buys you a set of two of any design or you can buy all 15 designs for $35.

Tag Heuer Monaco Vintage Chronograph reissue
First produced back in 1969 in honour of the Monaco Grand Prix and famously worn by Steve McQueen 'back in the day', the Monaco is back once more, this time as the Tag Heuer Monaco Vintage Chronograph.
Apparently, this latest version is based on one of the original Monaco designs, one with the original Tag-free Heuer logo, grey dial, a charcoal grey stainless steel case and of course, the microrotor for automatic rewinding.
The watch will be available in a limited run of 1,860 pieces and goes on sale soon, priced around the £3,200 mark. If you don't like the looks, you can always head to Bamford, which offers a bespoke version.
