Although it's now officially spring time, it's pretty freezing outside, so hopping out in your new floral dress won't be possible without something warm like this stone twill trench coat.
It's the perfect colour for this time of year, mixing light modern colour and style with the classic vintage trench coat design. The trench is a style that will never go out of fashion so see this as an investment piece.

Very few details offered here, but the images of this 1970s chromed hanging light fitting says it all.
A bizarre light fitting. with eight chromes shades, each 24cm long, each with cables that can be adjusted to about 135cm each (or much less). It's pretty much perfect for a 70s or space age house or pad, a talking point as well as functional lighting. Just make sure you get a professional to set it up.
Price? Right now it's still to get off the mark, so potentially yours for just 1p.
Towards the end of last year, we showed you Minimoderns' fabulous festival wallpaper, a quirky design inspired by the Festival of Britain. If you were a fan of that design but have run out of surfaces to paper, take a look at their festival rug.
It's the same great design transferred onto a hand-tufted rug. All the icons are there, from Skylon to the Dome of Discovery to the Royal Festival Hall and it would create a great focal point to a room.
Each rug is 100% wool and made to order, all adding up to its £495 price tag.

Want to be a retro hostess with the mostest? You may want to consider investing in this Tropical leaf salad serveware from Heal's.
A piece of kitsch, this green acrylic set comprises a large plate or a salad bowl and servers, both in the shape of a large tropical leaf. The shape is reminiscent of the ceramic Carlton ware leaf dish which was produced in the late 1940s into the 1950s but the use of the material creates something of a 70s feel.
Stock up now ahead of the summer – the plates are £4 each, while the salad bowl and servers cost £25.

In these days of digital photography and looking at images on screens and mobile phones, we’ve lost some of the joy of browsing photographs that you would get if your photographs were stored in something like this Vintage Style Wooden Photobox.
The box has four drawers containing plastic wallets, which take 12 photographs each (or 24 if you put them in back to back). The drawers have metal label tabs so that you can label your photographs.
