retro is right

Mod Cloth is an online clothing, accessory and decor retailer from the USA. This supa-dupa store sells not only vintage inspired items from indie designers, but also provides shoppers with one-of-a-kind vintage pieces.

We love the ecclectic feel of this shop and their huge range of dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes, bags, accessories, jacket/coats, swimwear and homewares.

We could spend hours trawling through the array of cute vintage inspired party dresses and kitch homewares. Apparently retro style queen Zooey Deschanel shops here!

Electric Garden Charging Station $24.99USD approx $24AUD
Mod Cloth Scratch 'n' Style Dress $54.99USD approx $53AUD

i want to ride my bicyclette...oui oui

Brrring brrring! With all the recent
excitement of the tour de france and the weather suddenly brightening up a bit, we are keen as mustard to get out on the bike a bit more! Except no yellow jerseys or spandex here, we prefer floral attire please.

Vintage style bicycles are all the rage at the moment. More and more girls in Australia are following in suit of their European friends, who would think nothing of fluttering around on their shiny cruiser bikes with wicker baskets full of crusty baguettes and fresh tulips.

Many local bicycle shops stock new vintage style bicycles. Or if you prefer the real thing check out gumtree or ebay for a reconditioned retro bike.

Pappilionaire Bicycles has a cool range of bikes at their store in Melbourne, and even better - they also sell their bikes online and ship throughout Australia! Oui Oui!

Watches are an often overlooked and underrated fashion accessory. UK online store Twisted Time specialise in selling quirky and funky watches.

This great japanese style watch called the Takumi (IDEA) watch turns a graphic pixelated  computer icom image into a real stand out time piece.

Twisted Time also sells the quirky Mr Jones Watches such as the 'Cyclops'. Instead of using the traditional hour and minute hands, each hour is represented by a different coloured circle, the black hoop gradually passes over each circle to indicate the time.

Mr Jones Watch 'Cyclops' £112.50GBP, $175.37AUD

take a picture

At the huntress we are big fans of all things retro, especially retro style photos and photography.

You could use an old school film camera like a Lomo, Holga or Diana Camera to produce quirky, funky pictures, however some people can't be bothered with all the fuss of film processing and prefer to go digital.

Give your digital photos a retro look quick and easily with this web based
Pixlr-o-matic photo editor. Its so easy and the photos look

great!
