Retro Rooms moves across the world once more, stopping this time in Groningen in the Netherlands, at the home of Els Willems.
Below (and over the turn) are some photos of Els’ house, which she describes as a "canvas of fifties stuff". And there’s even a picture of her 25-year-old VW Transporter too.
If you want to send us some images of your retro home or retro room, email them to us at [email protected].
I’m not sure what the weather’s like where you are, but where we are it’s been pouring with rain for more or less the last week. Time for a jacket to deal with the elements, like these Adidas Originals windbreakers.
Available in a range of colours (including the navy blue and "Brazil" green and yellow above), they’re lightweight jackets with contrast zips, two front pockets, the usual Adidas detailing and that all-important hood (which can be removed if you wish). I’m not sure if these are straight archive reissues or just retro items, but they definitely look straight out of the early 80s.
You can pick one up now in a choice of sizes for around £55.
Never mind creating your own pop art, you can just snap it with this Pop Cam.
The miniature camera uses 35mm film, taking four mini pictures of a subject in rapid succession, arranging them all in different hues on a 6-inch x 4-inch print when you get your film processed – creating a pile of your very own pop art.
And best of all, it’s cheap – just £9.99.
Dusty Groove is one of our favourite record stores – and if you dig deep enough, you’ll find some interesting non-music items too, including this Dusty Groove Jazz Standard t-shirt.
The design is a classic late night jazz recording session and is an ideal alternative for the jazz fan who doesn’t want to go the whole way with the shades and beret (or if it’s a bit warm for a polo neck sweater).
Available in a range of sizes and printed on 100 per cent cotton, it’s available for a very reasonable £6.50.
