For anyone with a 70s look going on in a bedroom or living room, these Mr and Mrs House original 70s fabric cushions could be the perfect accessory.
Both are made from an authentic 1970s printed cotton - found hidden away on the shelf of an Italian warehouse. The design is confined to the front, with the rear having a brown corduroy backing.
Both are sized at 45 x 45cm and both are filled with a feather pad. They retail for £50 each.

Looking for a little touch of vintage glamour, without the shop trawling and probable price tag? Then look no further than Chapeau Claudette.
Available at ASOS, the brand makes a selection of fabulous vintage inspired hats and net veils which are perfect for pitching up the glamour stakes, creating a air of the Hollywood starlet.
My favourite, the Mini Heart Clip (pictured) retails at a fantastic price of £18 and looks great.

The Hot Wheels brand first hit the toy shops in 1968, with around four billion cars sold in the 40 years since. But none quite like this diamond-covered Hot Wheels car, designed by Jason of Beverly Hills.
It's made from 18-carat white gold, has rubies for tail lights and a covering of 40 white diamonds. This 1:64 scale car has an estimated value of just over £71,000.
Fancy it? Well, it's going up for auction later this year, with all proceeds going to the charity Big Brothers Big Sisters. Might be as well to start saving now.

Loving the latest set of prints from Shag - The Tipsy Set.

Just 200 sets available, all signed and numbered and available from today, priced at $195, which is just under £100.

We covered the original Tretorn T-56 trainers some months back - timeless casual footwear dating back to the 1950s. If you liked those, you'll love the new leather finish.
As we mentioned previously, the name is down to the year - these were introduced in 1956, but still look sharp over 50 years on. Traditionally made with a canvas upper, there's now a leather option in the white pictured here or black, both with a matching midsole.
Available online, they retail for £65.
