Barbès, 2010
Most of us were still eating Pot Noodle in front of the telly while looking at Nigella Lawson’s tits. And failing to spot the economically prophetic visual pun.
A little bit of Croydon - detail taken from Stephen Walter’s ‘The Island’ 2008, which I could look at for hours. And probably have done. Awesome.
If you’ve got some serious time to kill then make sure to visit the interactive version on the British Library site, and expect to emerge about 8 hours later.
Now I may not be much of a fashionista, but I’m seriously impressed with my friend Amy’s new venture, Old Made - where all you vintage loving ladies can get your hands on some of her hand-made creations. In her own words:
Old Made is a new project of mine, where I’m hoping to combine the best vintage pieces that I find on my wanders around, with bespoke one-off pieces that are created with my own bare hands.
I’ve always had a passion for vintage – I love the thought that, however old it may be, someone somewhere has already loved it, it has already made someone feel beautiful and happy.

“Part One”: a blackout from one of my favourite tumblrs, the appropriately named newspaperblackout (via wingsnboots).
“A day of enormous beauty”. I want one of those, but instead I’ll just get back to my coursework shall I?
