Travelling in style.


Sam's brother, Johan went to the Bahamas to interview Sweden's 3rd richest man and caught a lift home by private jet to Europe. Nice!

Rock Family Trees





My uncle Pete sent Sam and I one of his Rock Family Tree posters.
We love it!
Pete founded the music magazine ZigZag in 1969 and created the first ever Rock Family Tree for its 21st issue. They subsequently appeared in Sounds, NME, Melody Maker and Rolling Stone, on album sleeves and CD inserts. BBC Television broadcast two series of Rock Family Trees.
Each rock family tree was hand drawn and accuarately plots the careers of 100's of rock bands through the ages from Frank Zappa to Fleetwood Mac. He's covered the whole rock spectrum from punk to progressive.
Graphically they are works of arts.
Next up is Nirvana and Elton John.

Check out his blog.
He has so many cool stories from the 70's.

Growing out a fringe.


I wish I had seen this picture when I was growing out mine! But to cut it in again would be a step back so this is for the ladies out there who are mid way......

Hanging pictures.....


and with such big walls it's all the more fun to get creative with how you group them.


If pantone did nail varnishes...


Now that would be amazing!
Unfortunately these are only a concept idea by Brizilian industrial designer Renata Veiga.

a wee treat for easter.....



It's officially spring, I have a new job so what better way to celebrate than to buy new sandals.....I wanted Celine but then saw Margiela and have been daydreaming about them ever since.
Couldn't resist!
