U & I Graphic Art Print by Hunter Jones

Posted on | Leave a comment

  Uandi1
So many graphic prints look beautiful but don't say anything you could live with reading on a daily basis. This U & I print by Hunter Jones takes it's inspiration from vintage chat up lines and manages to come up with a romantic phrase that's also a type-setting pun.

The print reads "If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U & I together." in a variety of  different monochrome fonts, punctuated with a red heart. It's printed on A3 110 gsm paper and costs £20 (frame not included).

You can buy it from Supernice here.

Kangourou_01_500

The design dates to 1954 and is made from perforated steel. Why a kangaroo? Well, take a look – this table is in fact made up of two tables, one fitting inside the other one – just like a kangaroo carries her joey in her pouch. 

Available in five different colourways, the table costs £272.

One Shoulder Tunic Top from River Island

Posted on | Leave a comment

Tunictop

With maxi dresses and palazzo pants bringing back the loose and flowing fit that's instantly reminiscent of seventies fashion, it was only a matter of time before tops and tunics got in on the act. This One Shoulder Tunic Top from River Island is an ideal example, capturing that ethereal feel that defined much of the decade's mainstream looks.

The one shouldered structure allows for some flesh to break up the loose silhouette, with the corsage detailing adding a feminine detail much-loved in US fashion at the time. The use of pale yellow chiffon fabric is unmistakeably vintage influenced, creating the must-have flowing movement.

Get yours online from River Island for £39.99.
