This is the new necklace I just got delivered from NJ, USA based fashion designers Pyknic. Fantastic right? I LOVE food, so putting it closer to my heart is rather cool as the next step I think. Pretty cool illo of the guys behind the brand too. Check out more designs from Pyknic.
Dang I love this New York inspired adaption of traditional Dutch Delft by lovegrove & repucci. Each place setting is made of fine porcelain and has five pieces; a dinner plate, side plate, soup bowl, cup and saucer. Check it.
So I’m like 10 years behind and only just finished Season 3 of this wacky series, first aired in 2005. Created and developed by Rob McElhenney (stars as Mack), Glenn Howerton (Dennis), and Charlie Day (Charlie), it has been described by most as the new age Seinfeld - although this gang’s exploits are far more raw, pink and hairy than Jerry’s ever could be. Yes, they are horrible, self-centered people that turn on each other every which way but you can’t help but laugh at them along the way. Great escapism, give it a gander.
Love, love, LOVE the new collection from Alexander McQueen who was inspired by the works of artists M.C. Escher and Jackson Pollock for this season. Eyeball more…
So Mr Shein is back and and cleaning up with his new line of layered accessories. Check ‘em out now. Coming at you like a wind screen wiper.
This is just awesome. I will watch and laugh with my raisin toast and coffee every morning as this little man gets pecked to pieces by the beautiful local bird life. Muah ha ha ha.
Oh you’re such a trash bag. Look at you tarting yourself up for the streets. But I don’t care what people think, it’s all a load if rubbish. I just I might bag you for myself… maybe even tie the knot. If y’all haven’t bin to check these out yet then don’t waste your time any longer. Check out Suck UK for more.
MAC is doing something well cool with their make up campaigns at the moment. They are inviting chosen artists to visually interpret a cosmetic collection in their own style. Cool huh? Click the image to view more.
It’s witty, fast paced ‘walk and talk’ dialogue keeps me on my toes at all times. Toilet break during an episode? Negative Sir.
I remain in awe of the thunderous power of each episode, whilst growing increasingly fond of each character involved and understanding more about the decisions they make. Never a dull moment and always an uncontrollable impulse to press play on the next episode so make sure you have your camp set up and food supplies at the ready. Only two shows have ever got me hooked this way - the other being Six Feet Under - so if you haven’t yet taken the time out to experience either of these, then I suggest you do
I’m currently reading this book by Adrian Shaughnessy and it’s slowly but surely curing a mild case of quarter-life career crisis. After years of pitching for work, going to countless interviews (even just for practice), conducting interviews myself, managing staff and selling my work to the point of design prostitution, the chapter I have just read about ‘how to find a job’ has struck multiple chords. Only 50 odd pages in it has already explained and justified a few of my beliefs about how to be a successful freelancer, employee or employer while also getting into the guts of the dark side of being in the design industry. So far I rate it as incredibly helpful, insightful and reassuring for those who are unsure and starting out, feeling the drag or just need to read some sound advice and let out a few empathetic chuckles along the way. Worthy for anyone from graduate to studio director.
I can’t wait to read more. Read it yourself.
