Vintage Sweethearts Indeed!
The second I walked into the Found! student art gallery space on Thursday last week (see my last blog) my retro obsessed eye spotted this vintage styled gallery booth in the distance and between that and the incredibly cool vintage inspired girls lingering around I could barely contain myself from trying to take sneak photos of them as they stood next to me during the speeches.

Off Topic – I Heart Wood

Anyway, less of my jibber jabber and on with the images: Read the rest of this entry »

Please note I am not a sci-fi geek, I was simply in the company of a geek. That’s right, I said geek.
I found (and bought) this stunning book below from Harper Collins Design called Gothic Lolita Punk and showcasing the work of talented illustrators and artists designing in this style. And yes, it’s taken me an entire year to get round to writing about it! Shocker. Read the rest of this entry »
