Beautiful Invite

Spotted this on the September Industry. What did we call these things at school? origami foldy predictor game thingys... did they have a name? Anyway this is a posh one for a Mulberry press day. Very nice.

Leanne Shapton

Leanne Shapton - llustrator, author and publisher based in New York City. I like her vibrant florals and pattern paintings.

An old picture...

...of my Mum and Dad. Look at his haircut! V. dapper, that's what Mum is thinking (maybe)

Camille Walala

Love this designers work. It covers print, fashion and interiors and furniture. It has a very bold, bright primary colours. An 80's feel that looks brilliant in the pictures that I have seen for the bar/club space XOYO in Shoreditch. Check out Camilles site here.
She also did a shop front for the site Supermarket Sarah - if you havent checked that site out yet then go now. It's great!

Modern Classic - Alex

Some lovely satchel style bags from Hobbs. I'll have the mint one pleeeeeeeeeease?!

New Major Lazer

The perfect song for a Monday. A change in direction for Major Lazer, and featuring the beautiful voice of Amber from the Dirty Projectors. Listening to it on repeat.

Puffy Prom Dresses

OK, so not really my style, but I think there is a hidden princess in most girls! I saw these in Selfridges yesterday and thought about how much fun they would be to wear. I say, host your own garden party/ BBQ and accessorise with last nights makeup still streaked on your face, glassy eyes, bare feet and bed head!

Bo Ningen at Cafe Oto

I am going to see this band on Sat, check out the video. They look nuts, apparently they fall over after each song. When they are interviewed one of them always pulls his hair across his face when he talks.
Some poeple might say pretentious, but I think they pull it off... 

I spy these bangles

... on refinery's site, and I like. Nice bit of grey with a flash of neon which is all the rage at the mo. The arm belongs to Valerie Boster, bookings editor at American Vogue. She says about one of her bangles "I've had the Hermès cuff for ages and I adore it because I haven’t been so precious with it" alright for some eh?!

Anne Lindeburg - Thread Art

I discovered the artist Anne Lindeburg today who creates these beautiful thread installations. I blogged about similar work by Gabriel Dawe here.

Have a look on her website for more work, plus paintings and architectural projects.

The Fourth Wall

I am enjoying the email marketing for Bourne and Hollingsworth’s new pop up bar... a series of clues to the where abouts of the location. More about it here.

 

Hattie Stewart - Illustrator

You might well recongise her, I think she must have done a lot of things around town and t-shirt illustration etc. You can buy prints of her work from a cool shop on Kingsland Road. 3939 which is also online here. See more of Hatties illustration on her site.

Arctic Monkeys new one...

'ow 'ansome does our Alex look in this video? obviously a lot of film and lighting tricks in there, sorry Alex, but still. Great hair.

Did you ever make butterfly pictures...

as a child?

Maarten Van Der Horst for Topshop

I love his prints! This would look great as a homeware print.... His line for Topshop available on Friday.

Miista New Shoes!

Just been to visit the lovely Laura Villasenin of Miista shoes - I managed to get a rather large discount of these amazing shoes and it's all down to Pinterest! Oh yes. More to follow about that. I also, finally upgraded to an actual bloody smart phone... So all in all a good day for me so long as next door but one don't nick it again.

Infinity mirrors

Taking pictures in pub toilets.... amongst a few things I did this Easter.

More Eyes

on you.... so watch it!

Brunswick House Cafe

A friend took me here at last weekend, just off Vauxhall roundabout of all places. It was really nice, apparently the antiques dotted around change all the time depending on what has been bought. The food looked really good and the cocktails definitely got me pissed. Apparently its owned by the brother of whoever it is who owns Franks on Peckham Rye carpark. You can read more about it here, which is where I stole the image from.

Scott Sternbergs Band of Outsiders

Found this via Lo's List Apparently the girls section is new, he introduced this range in Spring 2011. I really like all the simple colour blocking and the pretty throw on dress. There is an interesting way to shop on the site, most people are scared to do anything new with internet shopping for fear of putting people off. I think this works well though. Shop needs more stock though! Check it here.

Shag-tastic

Dear Spanish Moss, can i please have all of your vintage collection, plus this. It would be like a huge dressing up box of fun and would make my summer. Thankyou v much.

apart from that racoon vest thing. Bleugh.

Tamar Levine Photography

Found these images via All the Mountains blog. Lots more images on Tamar's site.

Orange and cream/tan

I noticed a small theme over at Need Supply. Cream/tan and orange. I like.
