I don’t think any art that I’ve seen lately has resonated as much with me as Madeline Donaghue’s depictions of Motherhood. Of course, being a mom of two small kids myself. The way she captures small moments that we have all experienced – reminding you that yes it can be challenging; but it’s also wonderful, …
It’s funny that I would still call this series Mid Week Distraction because I feel like I have been distracted for at least 2 years. Since 2020 (we all know what happened that year) we were all at home making lots of banana bread and everyone downloaded Tik Tok for the first time – I have …
today it hit 40C in London. the hottest summer on record. possibly the last thing people in the UK are thinking about is weird ice-cream flavours (they want air-conditioning and an end to global warming, possibly). but maybe it will take their mind off things. you can find some weird combos at Anya Hindmarch’s summer …
25 year old Tod Papageorge arrived in New York City in the late 60s as a budding photographer. He lived in a rent-controlled apartment with his wife, and would meet his photographer friends daily to take photos all over the city. His reportage style street photography was shot in black and white, but they convinced …
You’re going to laugh when I tell you how I discovered Mokuyobi. My kids were watching the new Blippi series on Netflix (props to Blippi for selling his show to Netflix and then getting someone else to play him). Anyway, in one episode he visits the LA based store of Mokuyobi, whose fun bags and …
Are you as obsessed with Stranger Things as I am? Along with the rest of the world..! I felt like Season 4 was so good that it could stand on it’s own – even if you weren’t already familiar with the universe of Hawkins and the Upside Down. Besides the epic brilliance of Kate Bush …
I’ve been a fan of Swedish artist Anna Bjerger for a long time, and saved some images of her work to my computer years and years ago. I recently started going through my old inspiration folders and rediscovered them (when last did you save photos to your computer?!). Anna Bjerger is one of the most …
I came across these images taken by Magnum photographer Bruno Barbey in Portugal, which seem to be part of a series – but were taken over various times as he visited the country (some in the 60s and some in the mid 90s). Most of the scenes are from the medieval village of Obidos and …
I have had a pair of Charlotte Stone boots since 2014 and have worn them every single winter – they are still in great shape after 7 years. you will never, ever regret buying a pair of their exquisite and finely made shoes. have you seen the new styles they have right now? including the …
Thierry Mugler sadly passed away recently. I will always remember the designer for two fragrances: Angel, which almost every woman wore in the 90s (you either loved or loathed it – I am in the latter camp) and a lesser known unisex fragrance, Mugler Cologne – probably my favourite fragrance of all time. Mugler wished …
