I went to Lille last week, am currently in Vicenza, and will be in milan in 5 days. This picture of my friend Aya has been on my desktop for a few days, check her photography! She assisted me in modeling hats from one of the amazing vintage accessories stalls during the Lille Braderie.....................more to come soon..............

This Is England '86

I absolutely cannot wait to watch this next week. I am a huge fan of director Shane Meadows and this follow up drama series to his last feature film This Is England looks & sounds great, the trailer kills it already.

A super talented friend of mine, Lauren Nikrooz, worked on the art direction, and assures me it looks amazing!

Boozed Britain

Backstage

I came across the photographer Mark Shaw for the first time the other day, and fell in love with the backstage photographs he took during the 1950s and 60s, full of energy and elegance. He has been credited as the first photographer to publish backstage fashion show photos, as well as taking some massively iconic images during his heyday.

Perfectly Illustrated

Giulio Miglietta is kind of a badass, has a beard, rides a Harley, etc etc, but he is also a great illustrator.
(This is also the Rio Cinema at the end of my road)

The American brand Free People haven't really been on my radar, til I picked up on there new 'Vintage Loves' collection, sourced by their vintage buyer. The exclusive, limited collection includes some beautiful pieces, the french beaded necklaces are my favourite:

Dreamy looks, dreamy beats........

My friend Ben Perdue sent me this the other day, saying that the song was great but that he knew I would love the long haired, buttoned-up guys in the band, he was correct, they are great!
