Mauve by Marian Mahler Yesterday, a forthcoming exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum opening to the public. Britain was at the forefront of international textile design in the 1950s and 1960s.
C’est l’une des tendances graphique pour l’année 2009, une sorte de double revival : celui des années 50 , à coup de pin-up et pub colorées, et celui des années 80 , début du jeu vidéo et des effets lumineux dans le genre « Tron ». Revue d’un style qui devrait s’accentuer dans les prochains mois. Webdesign De nombreux sites web ont repris les codes graphiques de l’Amérique d’après-guerre : pin-up, couleur délavées, chrome, enseigne lumineuse… En France, rien d’évident pour le moment, mais attention au retour du style Banania Ici la tendance est pour un retour dans un passé moins lointain. L’inspiration vient des supports marketing du début des années 80 : jeux vidéos (Atari, Nintendo), albums de musique, affiches de film… Un style très orientée conquête spatiale et rayon laser !
Hello and welcome to another slightly rambly update on my life at the moment! To coin a cliché: what a difference a year makes. Yesterday afternoon, at about 4pm, I was walking along the seafront in Portsmouth, talking life and business plans with my dearest friend Naomi , after spending the day doing a promotional photoshoot for a very exciting project (which I will come to very shortly).
L'As du Style Après un festival de couleurs, la mode revient au blanc. Que ce soit sur la dentelle, la soie, les pantalons ou les robes, l'immaculé est partout. On le mélange à des accessoires dorés, pour s'inscrire dans la tendance bohème.
What better way to bring warmth and history to your bedroom than with a reclaimed DIY wood headboard? Whether you use pallets (be sure to first read my post on potential toxicities in pallets , though!), ancient redwood, or the discarded wood siding of your neighbor’s farmhouse, the result of using salvaged wood is always original. Just add a regular mattress or an Ergoflex memory foam mattress , and you’ll be ready for sweet dreams! A Formal Feeling Comes saw her neighbor discarding their wood siding and thought it would be the perfect material to create a unique headboard – and she was right!
It's been a long time (2 or 3 years) since I shared any photos of my kitchen. I suppose it's because I don't like to go over the same room again and again. Sometimes that can be a bit stale and boring for me. But on the flipside, I end up not sharing things for years. I think I need some balance...somewhere betweeen "one time only" and "overboard". This little corner shelf is probably my favorite spot in my kitchen.
Sorry for being quiet, after the holidays I was really busy finishing my Spring/Summer 2012 collection. I added the last touch! I’m really happy with this collection.
The other day I wanted to try out my new 50mm f/1.8 lens (it's actually Tom's old lens) that I got to go with my new digital SLR camera. I didn't have to wander far to find somewhere to practice... our own backyard! Last year was the first time I'd planted anything in the previously barren space, so I was curious to see what, if anything, would reappear this spring.
