If you don’t fancy paying just under £100 for a classic Fred Perry cardigan (and everyone needs a cardigan in their wardrobe right now), check out a budget version instead – the Uniqlo lambswool V-neck cardigan.
As the name suggests, this is pure lambswool, with a high V-neck, 6 black buttons and two front pockets. It’s available in four colours, including the grey pictured here and retails for a bargain £19.99 – which leaves you around £80 spare to spend in the sales! Find out more at the Uniqlo website

Next up to show their Retro Rooms is our first from the US – Barb Wolkins. I’ll leave the explaining to Barb – check out more images after the turn:
"When I bought this home in Payson, just north of Phoenix (Arizona) last year, I planned to decorate it with all 70s and maybe some 60s. To this end, I painted all the originally white walls, made a 70s "disco lounge" complete with original Asteroids machine from 1979, an original "Diskotek Disco Stereo", 70s bar, my Abba collection, and various other 70s icons of electronics and tackiness."
"I did the orange wall in the living room myself as well as making the 3 huge wall hangings from original Dutch 70s material. All my furniture, right down to the Christmas tree decorations, are from the 70s. In the kitchen, I have original 70s kitchenware, dishes, pots/pans, cookbooks, mixers, silverware, etc. I painted the kitchen a green. I did the guestroom in 70s along with painting one wall with a 70s inspired wall graphic from a 70s wall graphic kit I bought!"
Good work. And if you want to show off your home, a room or even a corner of a room with some smart retro items, take a snap and send it over with a few words to [email protected] and we’ll be glad to feature it. Read on for more of Barb’s images.
We featured the Nissan Figaro (along with Nissan’s other retro vehicles) many months back. But it seems like the UK media has finally caught up with the growing collectability of these vehicles.
Check out the feature in the Daily Telegraph about the Figaro, its celebrity owners and its growing price tag. Or if you want to know all about the full Nissan retro range, check out our original feature from March this year. Because, as you know, we’re always ahead of the mainstream press.
Nostalgia for vintage game consoles has never been greater, so you can expect the final price for these 90 classic gaming consoles to be pretty hefty.
I say classic, but there’s a few ropey items amongst the huge number available. However, there’s a plethora of classic/rare items, including the Magnavox Odyssey, Virtual Boy, Neo Geo Pocket, Intellivision and Atari Lynx. And there’s even games thrown in for good measure, plus some near-new consoles like the Dreamcast PSOne and recent Gameboy variations.
For a full listing of everything (and a superb picture of every console up for grabs), check the auction page. The seller is based in Germany and the starting price is 3,000 Euros (plus shipping). Not cheap, but these things will only go up in value. View the full auction details at eBay
