Happy Olympics, everyone! I don’t know about you, but I for one am going to be glued to the television for the next 17 days taking in just about any competitive action I can catch. (Swimming and gymnastics are tops on my watch list, but I can really get into a bit of shot put,

mad men style ~ david weidman
A few Mad Men episodes ago, while Peggy was in her office, I noticed this really fab daisy screen print hanging up behind her desk. It looked very familiar to me, like I know those flowers. During this week’s show (Episode 6), I got a really good look at it. Not just the daisy art,

Back then, I tuned in for the outfits; bizarre and bold and epically over-the-top, those hot pants

His beautifully designed digital magazine of the same is now going into its third year (huzzah!) and is jam-packed with irresistable recipes, crafts for kiddies

vintage ad ~ illustrated versace
Check out these boss vintage Versace fashion illustrations from the Fall/Winter 1994 collection. Scanned in from the actual print ads, they were lovingly ripped out of Vogue many, many moons ago. A bit of detective work uncovered this video of the actual runway show. How neat is it to see these drawings in motion? Every
