Vintage Loveliness

One of my self confessed addictions is scouring ebay and etsy for vintage loveliness, so far this month I've bought a vintage trunk, a ceramic vanity set for my dressing table, a 1970s peacock chair and a silver afghan necklace. A girl just can't help it, affordable prices and originality in one....

This morning I came across this adorable blouse, at the moment I really like the idea of looking like a harlequin, and this blouse is perfect! As I scoured down the listing I was praying it would fit but Alas it wasn't to be, too small :-(

I thought I'd post it on here because at such a bargainous price this blouse deserves a good home!

Cutest ad I've ever seen!!!

House of Cards

My 2 of hearts card made it to the quilt, maybe you can spot it... Which meant I got to be part of the House of cards exhibition which is at the Haunch of Venison gallery this weekend. I went to the private view at the Haunch of Venison which was fun and the show is really quite impressive, so many good pieces of work.

The exhibition includes 52 of the country's leading artists and designers, including Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn, David Bailey and Vivienne Westwood, have come together to create a unique collection of art inspired by Shelter's House of Cards campaign, which aims to highlight Britain's housing crisis.

Go see it if you can!!

2 hearts

Hello, haven't blogged in a while. This is my entry to the 2 hearts brief for Amelias magazine. Amelia is planning to make a patchwork quilt of cards in many different styles and designs, all depicting the TWO OF HEARTS so hopefully my card gets to be a part of this amazing project!

Herb Lubalin

I first came across Herb Lubalin's work unwittingly whilst browsing through old magazines at Vin mag in Soho. I found a Sound of music advert with one of the most gorgeous logo's I'd ever seen, unfortunately I had no idea who had designed it. After some searching of the world wide web I cam across Herb and his tremendous portfolio via typogabor

Herb is probably classified as one of the worlds best logo designers, how had i not known this before?? He also designed the typeface ITC Avant Garde, this distinctive font could be described as a post-modern interpretation of art deco, and its influence can be seen in logos created in the 1990s and 2000s, I think Topshop often use it!
