Retro Minnie Mouse Watch

5769461313075_Red_l1

This Minnie Mouse Watch takes me back to my childhood, when I was the proud owner of a very similar timepiece.

The watch has a red strap and the time is told by Minnie’s oversized hands. It perhaps isn’t the height of style as it was in my school days, but it still retains a certain retro charm. There is also a Mickey watch with a brown strap and a gold face with an imprint of Mickey’s head.

The Minnie watch costs £30 from Urban Outfitters.

Graham & Brown 70s-style Boheme wallpaper

Boheme

Nothing quite screams the 1970s like a bold repetitive design – like the one you'll find on the Graham & Brown Boheme wallpaper range.

Yes, unmistakably of the day, the Boheme range is available in three colour options (including the green here), all with that quirky hexagonal design and a slight metallic finish.

Possibly not the kind of thing you would fill a room with in the modern era, but if you want a feature wall to really stand out, this is available for £30 per roll.

There's something timeless about a classic Converse design – and the Converse Star Player Ox also manages to add eye-catching to the mix too.

A classic lo-top basketball shoe, the Star Player Ox has a black leather upper with red detailing, an All Star heel tab, a cushioned footbed for extra comfort and that white contrast sole.

It's pretty much perfect for kicking about the house and beyond for weekends and it's yours for £49.99.

Ikimono 110 miniature film camera

Ikimono1

We love film cameras and there are plenty on the market to choose from – but none quite so small as the Ikimono 110 camera.

It's a retro-style camera that fits on your keyring and in your pocket – if you want to get an idea of just how small, check out the image over the page of a camera resting in the palm of someone's hand. Of course, small might be beautiful and practical, but it does mean a lack of some features you might expect – a flash for instance. But if you're taking snaps outdoors, just slap in some 110 film and you should be fine.

Sold 'blind boxed' (so you don't know what colour you might get), the cameras sell for a very reasonable £16.
