We've featured some great examples of unusual bunting on this site before. To add to this and very much chiming with current trends is this London bunting made by Me Old China.
The bunting is made from re-purposed souvenir tea towels featuring traditional tourist views of London. Made from 100% cotton, in their new format they capture a nostalgic view of the city perfectly.
The set pictured gives you 4 metres worth of double sided bunting for $50.

We've been covering House of Fraser's Biba collections since they relaunched the brand last year. So far they've been concentrating on fashion but, true to the spirit of Big Biba, they're now moving into homewares with their new bed linen range.
The linen very much takes its cue from Biba's own 70s take on Art Deco style. There are six different designs promised: the Adriana bed linen on the left uses the Biba logo for its pattern, while it's also reproduced in full on a selection of cushions.
Prices start at £16 for a pillowcase while the logo cushions cost £40.

It's always a risk buying a classic car, especially if you're not too great under the bonnet. But this Triumph Herald 1200 Convertible looks a cool and practical buy if you are a novice.
Dating back to 1966 and still cutting a hip profile, this Herald has just over 80,000 on the clock of that 1,147c engine. It's also described as being in 'excellent condition', as well as 'trouble free' and in 'great working order'. That's perhaps down to the amount of money spent on it – overt £2,000 in the last year alone. See the website for a breakdown of just what has been replaced and upgraded.
Another shot over the page, with many more on the listing. The price right now is £2,200 with no reserve.
While the large percentage of retro reproduction designs is dedicated to amped up evening looks, there's nothing quite like the perfect daytime dress to truly delight. This Drinks On Me Dress by Bettie Page is the perfect choice for those dreaming about picnic season.
This piece achieves the perfect balance between daring and demure with a strapless cut and scooped back, countered by a full skirt and high neckline. The bold print is kept from being garish with a selection of colourful but classic shades, with the red belt providing the perfect finishing touch.
It's available now from ModCloth for $101.99.
Many fashion designs which draw on a number of eras for inspiration can go wrong, with clashing influences sitting uneasily together. This Leopard Print Cloche by River Island, however, has done so with a result that's got great kitschy appeal.
The leopard print has a nod to styles from fifties pinup to seventies safari, while the cloche is traditionally pre-War as a hat shape. The wider brim, however, ties into the seventies aspect once more, creating a hat that's updated without losing it's retro roots to modern fashion.
It's available online from ASOS for £22.
