| eBay watch: 1960s Danish hanging light Posted: 06 Apr 2011 11:23 AM PDT A nice midcentury design for a reasonable amount of money (at least, at the moment) - this 1960s Danish hanging light. |
| Bow Shift Dress from River Island Posted: 06 Apr 2011 10:36 AM PDT Thanks to the recent love affair with sexier sixties styles from across the pond, there's been fewer nods to the era's youthful British fashion of late. With summer's return, that's about to change with pieces like this Bow Shift Dress from River Island showing inspiration from girlish mid-sixties chic. The simple shift design has a sharp cut and great angles, with an exaggerated a-line skirt and fitted upper. The addition of a bow at the high neckline ensures the style is kept young while also creating the minimised bust that was popular at the time. Finished in a block coral pink, it's perfect for pairing with your dolly shoes and white tights. It's available now from River Island for £39.99. Find out more from the website |

It is a self-contained unit with a chair and mirror that tuck neatly away when not use – ideal for modern homes that are short on space.

Lisa decided to post a photograph of a different one of her many collections of old and unusual items on her blog every day for a year. The project ran throughout 2010 and featured a huge range of eclectic objects, from paper ephemera to vintage fishing lures and Yugoslavian enamel ladles. Some entries were imagined collections, drawn or painted by Lisa, but most are beautifully composed and phographed groupings of the minutiae of everyday life. The book features full colour photographs of all 365 blog entries in chronological order, has over 400 pages and is more than an inch thick. It costs $35.00 and comes in a collector's tin - you can buy a copy signed by Lisa herself here |
