don’t miss 60b…
feeling exhausted today so worked on some project pieces whilst lounging on sofa and catchin a peek every now and then of a fav film of mine: Elizabethtown. it’s such a great little ordinary film and has a inspiring roadtrip style soundtrack. iconic scenes like chuck doing his little jiggle dance to Funky Nassau (by Beginning to End) and Baldwin’s line that ‘this once highly anticipated product (Bloom’s shoe design) may actually cause an entire generation to return to bare feet’ makes me chuckle. only cameron crowe film I like apart from the classic eighties Say Anything with legend John Cusack. film leaves you in a strange melancholy euphoria… and a longing for my next roadtrip next year through Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico… until then i found these…
who dunnit?
for my love of all things murderous: mystery, detective, film noir, hitchcock, the queen of crime (you know who), sherlock holmes, midsomer murders, cluedo. especially the recurrent theme of everyone stranded in a house…alone…cut off…you know the drill classic Christie ‘And there there were none’ , also hilarious ‘clue’ and the star-studded cast of ‘murder by death’. Recently just read Jonathan Coe’s novel ‘What a carve up’ in which there was a witty play on these classics…. I grew up with murder and remember playing a now vintage sherlock holmes game with my parents, which I thought was very grown up at the time. i remember being particulary haunted by the dark victorian style illustraions on the board, especially of the park, where in one story a young girl gets kidnapped. probably explains the origin of fear for things lurking in park bushes. fortunately I share this passion for who dunnit with my husband too who was indoctrinated with miss marple by his italian granny when he was little: he remembers it nostalgically as an english winter, his grandfather’s big leather chesterfield armchair and an open fire, all he needed was a thunder storm. so these are a few of my favourite things from pinkmilkvintage‘s new treasury:

getting nautical
it hasn’t been a sunday: day of rest today, more like a day to do all the rest. all the things you try and cram into a day. some of which included some pic sessions for pinkmilkvintage, which are always lots of fun. been poolside
too and managed to get in some swimming when not being nautical…
add a red stretch belt with bow buckle, some patent red pumps, a tied vintage scarf, a row of pearls and don’t forget the vintage clutch.
en francais?
seeing as pinkmilkvintage kate is paris based I was browsing through the sellers en francais and found this gorgeous le petit chaperon…

just look at her tights…red riding hood shade of red with jet black hearts…they are adorable. illustration for children…hmm yes I’m buying it for a child’s present…really…hmmm
i might just have to add this to my birthday wish list too seeing as it’s next week…

ice cream for the anorak girl
apart from talking about murder mystery there is usually some walking and pics… (that’s not the anorak girl but my husband: her illustrator)
he won’t model for pinkmilkvintage though…
and…they wouldn’t let me on it…
but you can never grow out of ice cream…
pancakes anybody?
I love pancakes, I love red and I love Italy…what a find: vintage seventies design classic from Italian firm Abert, started in 1929 and still run by the Bertoli family. this sugar and syrup set are perfect…now i want pancakes…homemade chocolate fudge ones! (obviously made by my husband)
rainbrow brite
i was always a fan of her amazing blue and rainbrow trimmed dress even though i was never a huge rainbrow follower…but any rainbrow yes especially rainbrow cups, mixing bowls etc they just simply cheer a kitchen up. so naturally I absolutely adore this vintage rainbrow comb, stamped hong kong just listed on pinkmilkvintage etsy…very tempting to keep actually…
also found these other gorgeous candy coloured combs listed…
funky japanese comb by vonlipi
cute weiner dog comb by ButlerandMaid
