It’s oversized. Its retro. It’s pretty damn cool and only costs £15 from Urban Outfitters.

I love all things Roddy&Ginger, and my current favourite thing on their site is the Folkdance Collection – especially the prints. They are available in three different colourways and cost £25 each (plus a couple of quid p&p). Lovely. You can also get tea towels (£10) and cushions (£22). If you’re a bit of a ‘cushion obsessive’, you ought to click on over and check out their collection.

You’ve got to get your kicks wherever you can and these moustache mugs inject a little fun into tea and coffee drinking. Made from fine bone china in Stoke on Trent, each mug has a different moustache style on each side and you can choose between Fu-Magnum (my favourite), Mustafa-Chaplin, and Maurice-Poirot. £11.95 each WhippetGrey

Greeting cards that transform into gifts are an increasing trend and Postcarden, greeting cards that pop-up into mini living gardens have become my hot favourite.
Choose between an allotment, a Victorian botanical garden, or city garden design with illustrations by three artists Krista Nyberg, Sophie Burdess, and Millie Harvey. Arriving flatpacked, open up and build, place on your windowsill and water, and within days, cress will be growing and it’ll last for 2-3 weeks. Egg and cress sandwiches time. £7.50 each

I’m a major fan of Olli&Lime whose ‘grown up’ contemporary bedding and homewares have been gracing children’s spaces for the past few years with a retro colour palette and striking patterns. Yesterday they previewed their new range of kitchen/diner homewares which includes tea towels, napkins, aprons, and table runners featuring their fantastic ‘Charlie’ and ‘George’ designs. They’ll be on sale in a few weeks time and I expect them to be a hit.
Incidentally it’s their kitchen in the background which features chunky concrete worktops – check out their home in the house tour I did a few months back.

Bob’s Your Uncle is a Boston, Massachusetts based paper goods company founded by Martin and Michele Yeeles in 2001. Originally from England, they moved to the States in 1993 “just for a year or two” and have been in Boston ever since. They have designed this fabulous set of 26 coasters, with all letters from A-Z, great as coasters, but equally great as decor for the home. A steal at $100 from Velocity Art & Design.

I love bright, stylish, well designed products so immediately homed in on the new Box Appetit lunch boxes by Black + Blum. Made from BPA free polypropylene and copolyester, they look like highly attractive ceramic bowls. The glass like lid locks on to make it watertight, plus there’s a sauce dipping a little sauce pot for storing your dressing…or ketchup, an inner dish which means you can separate hot and cold foods or use it in the microwave, plus a fork to match the trim. Due out mid March, they’ll be £15.95 each.

Whilst flicking through The Sunday Times fashion supplement, a kooky vintage chair caught my eye, so out came the laptop to have a closer inpection of said chair, which happened to be the 50’s Buttoned Chair in Vintage Fabric from Winter’s Moon. I then browsed the rest of the site, and started swooning … as they also have a pair of Robin Day Polyprop Hille chairs and a lovely 50’s curvy chair in vintage Heals fabric. They’re based in Chichester, West Sussex – which happens to be wear I work, so expect to see more from Winter’s Moon here soon. I like.
