Moomins

After seeing that silly facebook game where everyone changed their profile picture to an image of their favourite childhood television character, it got me thinking back to who mine would be. 

I was a bit of a TV junkie and would watch pretty much anything that was on, but usually favouring a bit of Nickelodeon - Rugrats, Sister Sister or Aaaargh Real Monsters anyone?

However, one programme that really got me excited was the Moomins. Those strange hippo like animals - what even were they - used to have me fixed to the box. I even had numerous videos and a mug to match. 

What was yours?

Let Them Eat Cake

Those Wildfox girls are geniuses. I love all their look book images and this one is no exception.... it may even be my fave. The Marie Antionette inspired shoot is so perfect, I want to be a Wildfox Girl. Please. 

Chelsea Magazine

I received the fabulous second issue of Chelsea Magazine in the post a few weeks ago and I can't tell you how happy I was. It's everything I had imagined it to be and they even sent some cute badges and some postcards.

This issue includes some cute illustrations of cats wearing wearing Luella and Miu Miu and there's even a 'Heathers' inspires accessory shoot. I suggest you go and get your own copy too.

Leighton I love You

I am completely in awe of her in these images, she looks stunning. I'm definitely not jealous... not one little bit...

Atlantic City

I recently stumbled across the following song from Emma's blog and haven't stopped listening to it since. The song originally by Bruce Springsteen is performed here by Kyle from Typhoon and and Danielle is from the band Congratulations. There's just something about the dreamy vocals and tinkling guitar chords that draw me into my own little world. So just press play and enjoy.

Oh my clumsy heart

I'm a sucker for cute hand made zines so after seeing these on Sophie's blog I fell in love. She's even holding an amazing giveaway so you can win the chance to own one along with a limited edition gocco screen print, badges, handmade confetti, two pinhole art cards, and a customised moleskine cahier notebook. I need these all in my life. So what are you waiting for...

Cellardoor

The new issue of Cellardoor is now out and I think it's my favourite so far. Each issue is based around the new season and Autumn for me is the one I love more than the others....

Whilst studying journalism at uni I discovered I really loved designing the pages more than writing copy and I love that I get to spend most of my time doing just that.

Huck Magazine

I've got a huge soft spot for magazine design  so was delighted to see this fun little competion from Huck Magazine .

You might remember a while ago Wallpaper*’ hosted a similar competions where you could design your own cover online, and now Huck has taken this concept a step further. The new issue has been and released with a blank cover just waiting to be filled in. The new issue, dubbed the counter-culture issue,d comes with a large magenta sticker ready to be peeled off and for you to start decorating how you wish. Then all you have to do take a photo of your masterpiece and email to the editor. Easy. 

How would you decorate it?

I'm thinking something along the lines of a collage, i'm a sucker for cut + paste!

Lissie

Lissie first popped up on my radar a few months ago, back then I had dismissed her as just another girl with an acoustic guitar. After seeing a few of her sets at the Glasto and few other festivals, my mind has been well and truly changed. 

Just check out this cover of Bad Romance.... 

Bag lady

This is now in my possession. 

That means I'm happy....  well at least for a while.
